Kim Wennerlind - is another one of my fabulous sister-in-laws! Kim just had an adorable little boy Isaac. I've only seen him in life once - but her pics on her blog are too cute for words. Kim is known as the sweet one from Bryan - and it is so true - she couldn't be more kind.

Ayme Orwin - is one of my fabulous friends. We met through our husbands. Her husband took her away to Virginia :( Ayme is hilarious - I miss playing shanghai with her and her cute southern accent!! Girl

Coralie Stokes - is also one of my fabulous friends. We were co-workers too long ago. We share the same wedding anniversary (She and Justin were married one year earlier than us). Coralie has a cute son Jaden that I haven't met in real life. Coralie, Justin, and I used to have hilarious times at the reg office!

Sarah Beth - is another one of my fabulous friends. We worked at BMI together. We both quit at about the same time. She found at she was leaving like a month before I did and I practically begged her to stay!! Seriously - she is so fun! Whatever happened to speed racing??

Hubby Tag

Where did you meet? We met in Communications 101 in Bryan’s very first semester at BYU. The professor put us in groups the first day of class alphabetically – since my maiden name is Bagley and Bryan’s last name is Attridge we were in the same group. We were pretty much inseparable from that day on!

How long did you date before you were married? We dated from January 05 until May 06 and then were engaged from May 06 till we were married in August 06. So we were together a little over a year and a half before we married!!

How long have you been married? We were married August 12, 2006 – so we have been married a little over 2 years.

What is your favorite feature of his? All of his features are my favorite! But . . . I super love his nose and his little baby ears and his muscular thighs.

What is your favorite quality of his? I really like how easy going he is. Everyone that meets Bryan loves him – because he’s not in your face but he is chill and hilarious. He’s not really into girly things but he’ll totally let me give him a facial or something if I want to because he’s so easy going! He’s quite the catch if I do say so myself – and he’s dang good lookin to boot!

Does he have a nickname for you? Nicknames are big in my family. So we call each other a different nickname every day. One nickname that has stuck that we call each other is sugar face (but not in a sweet yucky way but a deep funny way – I guess you have to hear it to understand :)

What is his favorite color? I’m not sure that he really has a favorite color, but I know that he digs gray and blue!

What is his favorite food? Whatever is on his plate!! It’d be easier to list foods he doesn’t like – so I will: tomatoes and coconuts. There are a few other things too but he really won’t eat these two.

What is his favorite sport? He loves to play and to watch all of them! He played football and basketball and baseball and track in high school. Lately he’s been on a golf, tennis and racquetball kick. Really any sport you present to him – except soccer - he’d be more than willing to play!! This is not something we share in common. I don’t have an athletic bone in my body – I try to tag along sometimes, but I’m really not great :)

Does he have a hidden talent? Bryan’s hidden talent would have to be that he is good at everything. It’s a little bit annoying when we both try to do something for the first time and he’s immediately amazing and I’m still trying to grasp the concept. Another thing that people don’t probably know about Bryan is that he’s got rhythm and that’s no lie. For being such an athlete, I would never have guessed that he’s good at dancing (you’ll hear more about it below)

When and where was your first kiss? Our first kiss was in my apartment on February 8, 2005 (I remember because it was exactly 1 month from the day we met – January 8, 2005) while we were watching Cinderella!

Do you have any children? No little kiddos yet – but we have super cute nieces and nephews!!

What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? We probably have the most fun together when we just think of something lame to do. Like last night we were driving back from the Merris’ and heard Lucky Star by Madonna on the radio. So, when we got home we put on Madonna’s CD and were jamming to it and dancing around. We were teaching each other our best moves (and they are amazing seriously). We had so much fun. So, pretty much we like being ridiculous together!

How old is he? He is 25 today but on November 20th he’ll be 26. I can’t believe how old he’s getting.

What is his favorite type of music? He really likes classic rock like CCR, and Hall and Oats. I never thought I could jam to that kind of music, but some of the songs are rockin – for the real!!

What do you admire most about him? I admire his loving personality. He really tries to make people feel good about himself instead of bring them down. Like I said, Bryan is hilarious – but he’s not funny by making fun of others – he’s just witty. All of his sisters love Bryan because he’s so sweet and he is so caring towards them. That is one of the things I noticed about Bryan first off. He talked so kindly about his mom and sisters and grandmothers and so on. He really is conscientious about others feelings! LOVE HIM!!

I now tag: Cindy again because she hasn't yet, Heather again because she hasn't yet, and Coralie

I've been tagged!

The deal with the tag is this: "Pick your fourth picture file and the fourth picture from that and post it."

This is on our wedding day (obviously. . . notice the veil)! I'm sure we're discussing something very important - but what I'm not sure about is why our photographer took the pic! Anyway, thanks for tagging Karen (and you've always been a great mom - I can't believe I'm older now than you were when you had Thomas!)



I now tag Katie, Ayme, Amy and Bethany! Can't wait to see the pics :)

I've been tagged

TEN YEARS AGO:
I was 12 years old and I was living in Yuba City. I was in 7th grade and honestly I don't know if I remember much more than that. I know it was just me and my two sisters living at home and I spent every friday night watching my sister cheerlead at the JV football games. I wish I could remember more :)

FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED!
1. Monterrey, CA
2. Thousand Oaks, CA
3. Yuba City, CA
4. Provo, UT
5. Trapper Creek, AK

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO-DO LIST!
1. Finish my essay test for Soc 450
2. Work on my group presentation for Soc 322
3. Make Dinner
4. Clean House
5. Finish my scrapbook Calendar :)

I ENJOY!
resting, vacationing, hanging out with my best friend (husband), sleeping :), scrapbooking, reading good books, watching movies and watching HGTV

TWO BAD HABITS!
1. I procrastinate when I'm stressed about doing something
2. I sleep way longer than I really should :(

FIVE THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME!
1. I am an avid Barry Bonds fan and I hold to the fact that it has not been proven that he did roids!
2. I love learning about money. If I could spend all day reading articles about investing and budgeting and planning I probably would. Therefore, my favorite class that I've taken at BYU is this semester. It's personal finance (BusM 200) and it's awesome. My teacher is so knowlegable and I've learned so much. Seriously it's great!!
3. I do NOT want to own any pets for the rest of my life. I grew up with a ton of kittens and I loved it. . . . .but as I've grown up, I've realized that pets are just more trouble then they are enjoyable. Plus I can't stand it when dogs lick me - YUCK!
4. I work in my sleep. Bryan has awoken numerous times to me sitting up in bed and moving around. When he questions me as to what I'm doing (and mind you I'm asleep) I say that I'm doing something related to my job. Like when we were in Alaska and I was Logistics, he woke up to me saying that I was organizing the packets. I'm not sure what my deal is.
5. I hate beans (the brown kind that make your stomach hurt variety - black, refried)! I had never eaten a bean before last year. My sister Cindy made taco soup for dinner and invited me and the husband and I felt bad not eating it. . . .so I had my first meal with beans. I haven't had a bean since that day though and I don't plan on picking up the habit!!

FIVE JOBS THAT I HAVE HAD!
1. Tutor during summer school for kids in kindergarten to 5th grade. Super fun
2. Registrar office specialist. I miss my friends from there . . . . good times!
3. Customer Service Representative for Blue Mountain Insurance (Home and Auto). But really I did the work of an insurance agent. Fun but stressful
4. Logistics for Princess Tours Mt. McKinley, AK lodge. I coordinated how guests arrived and left the lodge. It was a good experience. . . .and I have to admit that I love organizing so it was right up my alley.
5. Health agent assistant at Blue Mountain Insurance. I just started about a week ago and I'm a little nervous about it. We'll see how I do :)

Now I have to tag five people.
Cindy, Katie, Karen, Ashley, Shannon
