I guess I am to write 7 interesting facts about me. Here it goes...
1-I am not the shopper. I guess I should say spender in the family and it's not Bryson, Brielle or Trey. I love to shop and could take my time and not spend much but Cam likes to go but not spend hours. He learned early in our marriage that if you can't beat um, join them! I enjoy shopping with him, most of the time, because he has better taste than I do. I have a hard time buying anything even little things for the kids and especially for me because he is great to give his opinion :). He is pickier than I am.
2-One of my favorite things is a great workout and when it's over. Especially a hard workout. There aren't many things that feel so great. The only greater feeling in the spirit. I also love giving others a really hard workout. i love to see others do more than they think they can. I know how much I love it so I love to have others feel the same thing. It is very rewarding.
3-On the same lines it is such a great feeling to finish a class or lecture with everyone clapping because they enjoyed it. I love it when my words come out smoothly during a lecture. I also love when I see others benefiting from what was said or taught. I love feeling like it may even change their life.
4-I got the better end of the deal! Before I got married I always thought that Cam was getting a great wife, but I am really amazed at how I really got the better end of the deal. Don't get me wrong, Cam has it pretty good :). He is the most easy going person, has a huge heart, cleans better than me, great to watch our kids, will shop with me, great workout partner, makes everyone laugh, and most importantly has a huge desire to serve. Loves the gospel and would do anything for it. Ever since we got married I wanted to find out what he was passionate about because it's not sports, hunting, yard work, whatever most guys do, it is the gospel. I had no idea but am so greateful for it!
5-I give ward members some entertainment during sacrament with Cam up on the stand now with Bryson 6, Brielle 4, and Trey 2 (next week). Some weeks I just have to laugh. Fortunately, there are a few families that help with Bryson and Brielle because Trey is such a handful at church.
6-I am sooo grateful to be able to be home more right now. We are so blessed to have the work that we do and it really is rewarding and I enjoyed being at work but our home, the kids and cam weren't getting the wife and mother I am trying to be better at (I have a lot to learn). We were blessed to be able to start the business while the kids were young. Cam and I just juggled them between the two of us. It is amazing how much sense it makes for the wife to be able to be home. I don't know who did all the work when I wasn't home. Yesterday I cleaned and picked up early in the morning and it was 3 o'clock when I realized I needed to get dressed for the day. Bryson asked if I was going to stay in my pajamas. I am amazed at how much work it really is. I also see how moms need other moms now. Before I just talked with Cam, but it's different now. Maybe someone else can explain it better but I am grateful for my two sisters in St George (leanne and maryann) and my mom and lauralee who I call a lot. I am going to tag them (Mom, Laur, Leanne, and Maryann)
7-Lastly, I cry over anything and everything. Tonight Cam and I were at our saturday evening stake conference meeting and it is amazing how the spirit can teach and touch our lives. The spirit can give such an overwhelming feeling of peace that I have never felt otherwise. The closing hymn was President Lameroux playing, I feel my saviors love on the piano along with a violinist. Wow the spirit was so strong. Music is so powerful. I always feel guilty when I hear someone playing the violin because I probably should be playing. I look up to lauralee who still plays and of course my mom. I cry way too much. Will I ever not be a baby? I really wish I didn't cry so much any suggestions? I hope I didn't bore you.
I look forward to reading leanne's, maryann's, lauralee's and my precious mother's seven things. I have such a great love for all of them. I think we are even more blessed to have eachother than we realize sometimes. I love you all!!

You are so cute. I seriously miss you so much. I wish we lived close. I just love you. I loved reading your seven things.... you are such an example. I know what you mean about crying, I can cry over anything if I let myself. Believe it or not, i'm getting better at controlling my emotions which I never thought would happen. and YES you should be playing the violin. Okay, two things--1st of all...I feel the same way about my husband. He is much more picky than I am about clothes and has better taste than me as well. He is so fun to shop with unless he tells me his opinion and it's different than mine:( I also thought he was getting a pretty good deal getting me:) but I am CONSTANTLY amazed at what a strong, wonderful and wise person he is. He has taught me so many things. I love you two...what great examples you are. So glad we are family. xoxo
if I could figure out my computer, I'd write my interesting facts. Thanks so much for dinner tonight, and I had so much fun shopping on Saturday, I'm so excited to hang my stuff. You really go out of your way to make others happy, you are always thinking of others and what they need and want. You're the best!!!!
love ya, leanne
Cute Michelle. Somedays I don't like you on the trail and I know you love it. I'm kidding, I love to complain. Love what you wrote and are so glad that we get to serve together. Thanks.
The only 7 interesting things about me are my 7 children!!!!! How's that, they are the best and just look at them all so beautiful, talented, creative, God fearing, and humble!!! Can I get more interesting than that? I don't think so.
Good list!
Michelle, I love your blog! It is fun to read about your family they are so cute! Cam must have great taste because your kids always look so cute at church! This blogging is so addicting, but fun! I better get to bed so that I can meet you in the morning to walk. Elsha
Hey! I didn't ditch on purpose. CJ threw up late Sun night and then fevered til til 3:30 this morning. SO I had to get him better to do our hospital dedication, read my blog. I'll be there thursday. CJ is feeling so much better. I know you missed me! PS I am really bummed you are leaving YW, but I understand. I'll miss ya.
Michele, I know I'm a "blast from the past" but I came acrossed your blog (funny how that works)and enjoyed catching up on you and your family. Love your list. I usually just write on my kid's blog so that's why my blog name is "mom & dad Heiner". Love to see you again--you look like great parents. Darling kids. Have a great day! (We need to talk Deb into doing a blog)
