46

I got this idea from my friend Robin. It is 46 facts that you might not know about me. And i use the number 46 because today was my 46th brithday.

1. I was born in Pasadena, Texas.
2. My first car was a blue 1972 VW Superbeetle. At the same time, my mom owned a VW van. Best cars ever.
3. I attended BYU-Hawaii for one semester in 1984. I made the Dean's List.
4. I went to a Hank Williams, Jr. concert. Peer pressure.
5. When I was younger, all the girls liked Donny Osmond and the color purple because it was his favorite color. I couldn't like him because everyone else did. I said I liked his brother Jimmy and my favorite color was blue. Now I think Donny Osmond is a cutie-patootie and have admitted that my favorite color is purple and has been all along.
6. I once drove from Utah to Indiana in a stolen VW. Best college memory.
7. In fourth grade, I fell out of a tree and sprained my arm.

9. I have an Associate Degree in Travel and Tourism, BYU 1987, an Associate Degree in General Education, LSCC 2004 and a Bachelor's Degree in Vocational Education and Industry Training, 2006. That's right the 24 year plan, don't judge me. Took me a while to decide on a major.
10. I don't like my food to touch on my plate.
11. In September 2002, I completed a mini-triathlon.
