Random fact #1- I love to buy new cleaning products and try them out. If I see a commercial for something, you can bet that next time I’m at Target I’m going to pick it up. Most recently I purchased new Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel Discs. So far, I’m thrilled with my purchase. Here is part of my current collection:

Random fact #2- I don’t like buying clothes on sale. Usually the sale items are in the back of the store, a huge mess and you have to search for your size. Usually I feel like I’m just buying the thing because it’s on sale, not because I love it. I should probably get over this since my husband is quickly accumulating law school loans. However, this does not apply to mark downs. For example, there was a sweater at GAP I loved. I didn’t buy it right away and next time I went in it was hanging in the exact same place with a sticker over the original price that was $15.00 cheaper.

Random fact #3- Whenever Brandon and I are talking about our future children I use the words, she and her, because I know we’ll have girl. I’m so convinced, when me and my sisters picked baby clothes our Grandma knitted for our future children, I subconsciously only picked out girl stuff. On top of that, there’s the Christensen Family Curse. Brandon’s Grandpa Christensen has 6 daughters, and all of Brandon’s male cousins (that were born into the family, not married in) have had girls: Nate- 2 girls, Justin- 2 girls, Chris- 2 girls, Ryan- 1 girl, Trenton- 1 girl, and Devon- 1 girl. Count ‘em, 9 girls.

Random fact #4- Brandon and I started dating when I was still in high school! (He loves it when I tell this). We both went to Green Valley when he was a senior and I was a freshman. We actually didn’t meet until after his mission when I was doing independent study my senior year and attending the University Ward. My good friend April that I cheered with at Green Valley introduced us at the University Ward FHE. He was even at my High School graduation.

Random fact #5- I’m a huge fan of small food. Appetizers. Tapas, mini desserts- love them! There’s an excellent Tapas restaurant in Las Vegas, if you’re a fan as well you should check it out. I don’t love comfort food- meat loaf, chicken pot pie, stew, you get the idea.

Random fact #6- This stint in MI is the longest I have ever gone without seeing my family. That includes when I was at school in Provo. When we finally get to go home right before Thanksgiving it will have been 108 days! There is definitely more here to distract me than I thought there would be which has made it easier, but going so long without seeing them has been harder than I thought it would be.

I tag Holly and Katee and 4 others that are dying to participate.
