2. I have cried at every single job I have worked at. First was at the Egg Roll Express in Chandler. My cousin Camie used to work there and I worked for a couple months in the summer. I was only fourteen and I was a waitress, bus girl, cashier, and did everything else but prepare the food. Tommy, the little Vietnamese guy, got mad at me for messing up an order and that was when the tears came. Then there was my job at Dr. Cooper's dental office. It was my third or fourth day and I was still hardly trained. I started working there because an assistant had left, so it was very spur of the moment. I worked in the morning and Jessica worked in the afternoons. This was during our senior year of high school. Well, this particular day was on a Saturday. I had never assisted during surgery and we were extracting very difficult wisdom teeth. I was holding a flashlight, suction, and retracting a piece of gum tissue all without really knowing what I was doing. Dr. Cooper was so frustrated with the whole thing and spoke to me very sternly. I started tearing up, sniffing under my mask, and my glasses started fogging. He took my hands (with gloves all bloody and gross and over the patient's chest) and said, "We can do this!" He ended up feeling so bad about it later, so he wrote me an extra $50 check. I also cried at my next few jobs, but it is only because I am super sensitive and that is something I am trying to change!
3. I am self conscious about my swimming and my dancing. I've never been good at either. In high school I was always scared to go to the lake because I couldn't (and still can't) wake board. In college I hated going to dance parties because I do not have those cute moves that all of my friends do. For this reason I am putting my daughters in dance class from the moment they can walk!
4. I am obsessed with my nieces and nephews. I always make David watch home videos or read my sister's blog. He loves them too and I know he loves hearing them call him, "Uncle David."
6. I hate to exercise. I used to have a gym membership in high school and one in college, but it was only to be like everyone else. I can't run a mile without feeling like I am going to die and every time I do anything that involves hard physical activity, I always look at the clock and count down the minutes until it is time to leave. David loves to play tennis and I love to watch him and I enjoy watching other sports as well, I just don't like to play them.
5. A few of my lifelong goals are to learn Spanish fluently, learn to sew and reupholster furniture, and to go on a mission with my cute husband.

Haha. I totally remember your calendar! I love that you take note of every detail. I feel like we have always had that in common. I also think you probably have one of the most tender hearts of anyone I know (besides my hubby). I have always loved that about you.
Your calendar memory reminds me of your amazing talent to remember everybody else's outfits also. What did I wear the first day of school sophmore year? I also loved the story about creepy Dr. Cooper. I still don't understand why his office is opened so late.
i think i knew about your calander fetish and its better that you cry when the doctor gets mad at you instead of getting mad back and giving the dentist the silent treatment like i do( i dont mean to but i dont get over things quickly) cute tag shasha
