15 Random Facts:
1. I hate Odd numbers. Yes, most of you know that, but did you know I won't add just one person to facebook? It has to be 2 (or 4,6.8..) at a time. I've had people wait like a week til I added someone else.
2. I'm a picky eater, but mostly because I don't like trying new things.
3. Jiri Fischer is my favorite hockey player ever. I wish he could still play.
4. I hate having things on my feet. I would much rather be cold then where shoes.
5. But I love slippers.
6. I think I was born to be an aunt, not a mom.
7. I hate not knowing what's gonna happen next (hi, then I can't prepare for it) but I'm learning more that just because i can't prepare for it, doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
8. I'm left handed, but do most things right handed.
9. I love my calling because I get to plan the activities, but don't have to do them.
10. I used to never be friends with girls, but now three of my best friends are girls.
11. All the dates I have ever gone on have been blind double dates. (excluding one, which was a second date but I don't count it haha)
12. I want to own my own business one day. That way I can be the boss and rich!
13. I rarely finish books. I start like 5 at a time and never finish them.
14. I want to get a beagle and name him Segal. I will get that one day.
15. And... I love cooking/baking but rarely eat it.

Annnnnd I'm done. :) Everyone should do this! It's a different take on blogging.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been slacking on updating so to make up for it here are a bunch of pictures!

FHE

So, as some of you may know (and others may not, I don't know who reads this!) I am the "ma" other FHE in the Singles Ward. It's fun because I get to come up with all the ideas, but yet not actually have to do the activities! Best of both worlds, IMO.

But man so I ever feel like a mom sometimes! I wonder if I can discipline my "kids"? That would be nice. Put them in the timeout corner.

Last night was a tough one, which I knew it would be. Without going in to details, let's just say I have to excuse myself for a minute. Haha. But really, the issue is people not listening. Or people trying to talk over me when I'm trying to explain directions. I actually had one person try and talk over me (hi, if anyone has heard me talk, I talk loud so to talk LOUDER then me, you must be yelling) and then after I was done talking go "wait, what are we doing next week?" I told them to figure it out themselves because I was not repeating myself.

So, the point of this post is - what activities could I do that would promote listening? I don't want to do a Simon says type game because then what would people do once they got out? They'd probably talk more so it would be harder of those who were still in the game to listen. I guess if I found something else for them to do once they got out, it would be okay?

I don't know. I've done team building stuff, I've done random fun stuff, I've done field trip type stuff. But I really feel I need to do a listening type of activity. I just don't know what.

Also, any other FHE ideas anyone wants to share would be nice!

Real blog update?

Doubt it. Nothing new is really going on in my life. Going to school, working, welcoming a new niece, planning FHE for the singles ward. The usual. I have actually almost been working at the same job for a year. Longest job I've ever had! Anyway, mom wanted pictures of Morgan so here is a link to my facebook album for her. Enjoy!
