Burritos! Chips, French Fries, Fry Sauce, and chocolate milk
2. What is something you're afraid of?
I am legitimatley afraid that a guy is going to be hiding in my bathtub so whenever I get home and am alone, I check both the showers. If a guy is ever hiding in there I have no idea what I'll do when I find him.
3. Favorite book?
Walk Two Moons (even though it is way below my reading level)
4. If you could spend a day with anyone famous, who would it be and why?
Non church answer: Michael Jackson so he can tell me that I've been right for defending him all these years. Church answer: Joseph Smith, do I need to explain?! (I am hoping my famous people can be dead).
5. Coke or Pepsi?
Coke

I would live in Cedar City, but Cedar would be located in the empty space between Payson and Nephi. Travis would be a big time Physical Therapist, I would be an Academic Advisor at SUU, and we would have 3 curly headed, lurpy kids!
8. Favorite Michael Jackson song?
This is too tough. But I guess I will narrow it down to Hold My Hand, Earth Song, The Girl is Mine, Black or White, The Way You Make Me Feel and Will You Be There (Free Willy Theme)
9. Biggest pet peeve?
People pulling gum out of there mouths and twirling it with their fingers.

America's Next Top Model! and Mean Girls. I like really deep shows.

This is What Happens When SUU Gives You a Free T-Shirt Everytime You Turn a Corner

When Travis and I came to SUU nearly 4 years ago, we each bought an SUU t-shirt because we wanted to fit in and show some school pride. Almost immediately after we felt like the biggest idiot's because we realized how many free t-shirts SUU is willing to give out. One at the beginning of each year, homecoming, one for the end of the year, and on and on and on. It doesn't help that I was over Orientation for a few years, and Travis as an athletic trainer for 2 years. Our t-shirt pile kept growing and growing.
As I've been getting ready to move (which I am actually getting really really sad about) I realized I will not want to wear SUU shirts nearly as much as I do now. Duh, red Fridays. My awesome Cedar Best Friend, Erin, (don't worry Leslie, you have not been replaced) helped me make this t-shirt quilt! 7 squares by 7 squares, and we STILL each have a stack of t-shirts to wear!! (OK, OK, there are a few Snow shirts in the quilt, but it is dominated by red and white). It is sooo warm and I will have an awesome reminder of the great time Cedar and SUU has been for me.
