TAG! You are it!

Thought this one would be fun for my posterity!Here are the rules:Write 7 random things about yourself.Tag 7 people at the end of your post.Pass on the tag.Here it goes...
1. Hmmm...seven random things about myself. I secretly want to be a break dancer. Probably won't ever happen. But seriously I love to dance and be danced with. I wish I was good at it. You'll catch me dancing throughout my days. When I unload the dishwasher, I often have random outbursts of dancing, even though I don't have much rhythm. People who witness me on a regular basis can testify to that. Yes I'm the person you'll catch swaying to the music all alone in my car:)

2. I LOVE Utah! Surprised? I used to not. But I'm feeling SOO much better this year with the seasons changing now that I'm being treated for hypothyroidism. I think it's the perfect place to live, and an even better place to raise a family (not there yet :) I'm all about the outdoors. You'll never find me at a happier frame of mind than when I'm playing outside. I get gorgeous mountains to look at everyday. I go hiking when I can. Snowshoeing, Sledding, Four wheeling and snowmobiling (with the right equipment.) Snowboarding in Utah is an amazing experience. I have lakes all over the place to play in, and go boating in :) 4 gorgeous seasons. Don't think I could live in a place that didn't have fall. I think the leaves changing in the canyons are the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. I have great neighbors. But most of all, I think Utah has great people. I've always been able to find fun friends who support a similar belief.

3. I love flossing. Love it. I normally carry a pack with me in my purse to floss when those sudden urges happen..but I'm out :( I should probably buy a new one. Donations for this cause are accepted. Send money or floss to my parents address!
(yes that is a piece of floss hanging from my mouth)


4. I really love to create things. From drawing (mostly the human face), molding clay, playing the piano, to woodwork. I love the creation of things. I like to make my own music. I'm not the best note reader, but I can mimic any tunes on the piano with some practice. Most of all I like to make up random songs. I've built shelves, a night stand, picture and mirror frames. I love the feeling of creating something from scratch :)
5. I'm a love finatic. Hopeless romantic. Every summer since I was about 12 years old I would start writing a few of my own romantic novels. I love reading about love, I love seeing love, I love writing about love, I love the thought of love, but I seem to refuse to fall in love! I'm such a Bowman. To independent. Yes it's true I'm going to wait till my prince has guts enough to stand up for himself and make me fall in love with him :) (Sorry it's not the fella in the picture..just my image of what love should be...fun and friendship..it gets you through the hard times)


6. I'm a soccer/yoga/workout fanatic! I love the feeling of being fit and eating healthy. I don't care much about being skinny, I just love wanting to do physically hard things, (like running trails while hiking) and being able to because I work hard at staying in the best shape my body will allow. I can do anything when I put my mind to it. Soccer is so much funner when you can run and not feel like you wanna die from being out of breath. I love feeling flexible and making my body twist in cool ways without feeling pain. I hope to get certified eventually to teach yoga. And I'm working towards a marathon.



7. I love LOVE LOVE LOVE Family, and friends. I feel proud to say I can look back on my life and not pick out one single enemy or person I just don't like. I've made it a HUGELY Important factor in my life never to be judgemental or hold grudges. Towards myself and others. I credit my heavenly father for blessing me with the ability to see people for who they really are. When I lose the spirit in my life, I lose this ability. I'm grateful for the gospel, and the principles it teaches, especially towards the family. My family are some of my greatest friends. I don't think I could have made it through this world or become the person I am without my immediate and extended family in my life. I never miss a family event if at all possible. When I'm near family, I laugh a little harder, and smile a little more. For me, there is no greater feeling in this world than the feeling you get while being near family.


I re-tag Bo, Leisa, Loyce, KALLI, BECKY, Cyndee, and Ryanne. Get your butts in gear and post! If I can find time so can you.
