i've been tegged (said with a canadian accent)
so, i have been informed by a creative-smart-handsome-intelligent-athletic-wonderful-someone-who-threw-a-great-Halloween-party (see comments on previous post) that i was tagged (or tegged, as it would sound if i actually said the word out loud... i simply cannot help it). though the actual tag is unclear... i THINK i'm supposed to write 8 odd tidbits about burton and i. so, here goes...
- when i was 16 and burton was 12, unbeknownst to either of us, i attended his ward in farmington, utah with my friend matt (who was in the same ward) while on a family vacation at cherry hill campground. if someone had told me that day that i would marry one of the deacons passing the sacrament, i'd have laughed in their face 'til it hurt.
- burton and i have driven from the west coast to the east coast of the united states together, travelled to 26 US states and 7 countries together, and 1 canadian province... which i'm from... that part is pathetic.
- burton and i kissed before we'd ever even been on a date. THAT is what i call a solid foundation, people!
- when burton got his family together and told them he had an announcement, in order to tell them he had received his mission call and was going on a mission (something they weren't expecting), his whole family thought he was announcing that we were getting married. his dad's comment to me afterwards -- "we would have been happy either way" ... ya right! :)
- i usually cook.
- burton usually cleans.
- neither of us want to thaw the chicken. (i'm clearly running out of tidbits)
- we have an on-going disagreement about whether the bottle of hand soap should sit on the rim of the sink or on the counter behind the sink... and everyday it's moved back and forth about a dozen times. insanity, i tell you.
and the list goes on... but that's where it gets too personal... and a little TOO odd. so... i'm supposed to tag two other people. so... (1) whit and ben... because they're blog slackers lately. and (2) becki and jeff... because they're entertaining. :)
(UPDATE: err.... i've been to two canadian provinces. which is still pathetic... but not to be trumped by the patheticness of not remembering that.)

I'm impressed that you sent him on his mission and married him afterwards! And just so you know, the soap thing is an ongoing battle in our house too....but of a different nature.

Thanks for the proper reference!

BTW, soap sits on the rim, or, if it must be on the counter, it should hang over the rim to catch the drippage. If the latter positioning is unacceptable, the former should always be followed.
