So, my sister Lexie decided to finally get on board and do a blog tag-- only she did 100 things!!! 100!!! Crazy girl! Now, when she tagged me and a few others, she said we could do 10, 50 or whatever, but-- she is my LITTLE sister. How can I let her outdo me? So, here we go. . .
1. I ran cross country and track in high school. And I was pretty good-- for Jackson.
2. I dislike cooking. No, no, no. . . I suck at cooking. Well, I pretty much CAN'T cook. Well, anyway, you get the picture.
3. I LOVE to sew. Creating something just is somehow fulfilling.
4. When I was in high school and college, I had a shoe collection. They were all at least 3 inches high and pretty funky. Pregnancy and babies pretty much ruined the fun.
5. Hmmm, this is getting tough. Oh, wait! I have 95 left. . . shoot! Okay, ummm, I didn't weigh 100 pounds until I was a senior in high school. People actually thought I was anorexic. But, no longer! I was asked a few weeks ago if I was pregnant though. Kinda the same. . . okay-- not even close! Darn it!
6. I had never tasted asparagus until this past summer (thanks, Brooke for broadening my horizons).
7. My computer overheats after 30 minutes. It's like having parental restrictions-- only I'm the parent!

11. I had a great grandfather that lived to be 103 AND he helped confirm me a member of the church (four generations!). Cool.

15. I LOVE color! Lots and lots of bright, happy colors!
16. I have the fashion sense of a five year old. If there are two dresses, side by side, one navy blue, the other bright colored stripes, I will go for the striped dress 95% of the time. I sort of look like a circus tent most of the time.
18. It has almost been a year since I broke my elbow.
13. I have spent many hours selling our stuff on ebay.
14. I have spent many hours shopping on ebay to spend the money I made. ;0)

21. Brandon and I were only engaged for 7 weeks.
22. Kira was born the day before our third anniversary.

24. My name comes from the Sound of Music, but is spelled using the letters of my dad's name: Leslie to Leisel.
25. My middle name is Susan, after my mom.
26. My maiden name is May.
27. I am related to Charlemagne, emporer of France.
28. I am also related to Adam and Eve-- and I can prove it! (Thanks to my mom, of course!)
29. I took many years of piano lessons-- apparently it didn't stick.
30. I played the trumpet in the high school band. I wonder if I can still play?
31. I was married in the Bountiful temple.
32. My wedding ring is a size 3 and 1/4.
33. I am only 5 feet, 3 inches tall.
34. I wear contacts.
35. I wear a size 6 shoe.
36. My first official boyfriend was over a foot taller than me.
37. I once jumped off of a HUGE rock into a freezing lake in the middle of the night. You couldn't see the lake-- at all! (Talk about STUPIDITY!)
38. I learned to drive a clutch while test driving a car at age 16.
39. Brandon and I got to help with the Nauvoo temple open house.
40. When I was growing up, I kept a page in my journal of all the names that I really liked. All three of my girls' names are listed on that page!
41. I have lived in 5 apartments in the last 8.5 years.
42. I used to go huckleberry picking almost every summer when I was little. (Huckleberries ROCK!)
43. We used to have moose come into our backyard almost every winter when I was growing up. Talk about HUGE!
44. One of my favorite books is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
45. I did not have epidurals with Kira or Kamber-- by choice! (I know, I am crazy!)
46. Kendi was delivered breech-- no c-section!
47. I am the ward librarian.
Okay, I give up. I am just not that interesting. And I am tired of thinking about myself. So there you have it. I can only think of 47 things to tell you about myself.

Yeah!! I love it! You did a good job coming up with that many. I have to admit, it took me a few days to do 100 things.
Leisel!
Your 100 may be short, but that's ok. They were a cute 47 things. I had forgotten about the tall shoes. How could I forget about something like that? Anyway, we love the things you made us. Thank you. Hope all is well in Twin Falls; I'm sure it's an improvement from Kansas.

lol i LOVE this post! so cute. i wish you went all the way to 100 so i could keep learning things about you. yay for the sound of music, you've seriously NEVER owned a cell phone???, and that's funny about the shoes.
AND. i am EXACTLY the same as you about the kid names! i love it. i've had a page in an old journal where i write down all the names i like for my future children. i've gone onto like 5 new journals since then so whenever i hear a new name i like, i have to go dig it out of my room and add it to the list. how cute. i love that we are the same :)
Wow! Impressed that you did that many. It was fun to learn more about you.
I love this post! Great job. I'm with you on number 3, but I'm working on it.
I'm also the same with you on number 13 and 14 :)
That is an awesome post!!! (: Good job on thinking of that many things. It was fun to learn so much about you.
I too kept a list of names I really liked for my future kids. I started it in high school.. but my husband didn't like any of them ): Too bad we have to get 2 opinions (:
That was fun! Crazy thing is, I think I knew almost all of them. Almost! That was fun to read! I'm pretty sure you could come up with 53 more. You should do a continued post, hahaha, just kidding!
I think you are very interesting. I learned alot about you like you wear contacts and that your girls' names have a history (I thought you and Brandon just pushed letters around and came up with them). :) I always thought being ward librarian would be cool because everyone stops in to say hi and because you're surrounded by endless possibilities for FHE resources. Hope all is well.
