First things first, let's get all my interesting facts on the table - or at least 15 of them!
1. I can make gross 'tooting' sounds with my hand against my eye (you know, like how guys can do under their armpits? It's charming....)
2. I like to try to be original, and to be a prankster... when I worked at Rogers Video I used the label maker to make my own label which I put on my rearview mirror - my Mom (days later) brought to my attention that I called myself the "original pranster" - definitely not cool!
3. I LOVED Elvis - listened to him, watched most of his movies and biographies... and everyone knew that I loved him.... and that's probably what got me to stop liking him.... Elvis overload! Everyone got me Elvis items and crammed my life with Elvis until it became too much... now I barely listen to him.
4. I struggle with whistling - it's something I really wish I could do, but ever since I can remember whistling has been extremely difficult - I can't get a tune.. just one high pitch note ... as a child the only way I could get a whistling sound out was by curling my tongue outside of my mouth, biting down on it and blowing (my bangs fluttering around from it)
5. I married my best friend - but only after dating him twice and fighting my feelings for him (there IS a thin line between love and hate) Finally, after his mission, he asked me to stay and not go on my mission and proposed!
6. I was called to the Toronto East Spanish speaking mission - my cousin/best friend Lonnie was called to the same mission (minus the language) and we recieved our calls on the same day (all forces combined against me staying and marrying my husband)
7. I've always wanted a large family! I LOVE large families, I always wanted my parents to have more kids, and I was so happy to marry into the O'Briens family with 9 children!!!  Before I started having kids I would say that I wanted a minimum of 6 kids.... but after having two, I know that alot more details will determine the size of our family!
8. I prefer cooking over baking.
9. When I bake, I prefer looking at a recipe and using it just as a guideline to lead me to create whatever comes to mind!
10.I love Swings!
11.I LOVE dancing!
12. My parents and Hugh's parents are some of my favorite people in the whole world!
13. I love to drive... in high school I would offer rides to anyone, just so I'd have the excuse to drive around
14. I'm a boring person - I'm perfectly happy staying at home  most of the time and think it's exciting enough to watch a movie.
15. I love playing basketball... but prefer it to be co-ed (I don't really like the way most girls play)
