Crystal gave me this tag which means I need to write 7 random things about me and then pass it on to someone else. I'm glad she did. Lately I've been feeling SOO pregnant and uncomfortable, and this is a good way to get my mind off my pains. lol
1. I've NEVER dyed my hair, gotten a tattoo, broken a limb, liked seafood, hiked Laie Falls or had a pedicure. ha ha JUST KIDDING about that last one. I LOVE pedicures!!
2. I played my violin in Carnegie Hall in NYC (I'm junk, but happened to be a part of an orchestra that went) and climbed the Great Wall of China barefoot (not by choice - I had been forced to wear a dress and heeled slippers that killed my feet). Wow. This list of 7 is turning to a list of 25. ha ha
3. I have one regret about my wedding day. Just one. I loved EVERYTHING and it was seriously, a PERFECT day. . . I just wish we hadn't left the party so soon. We left around 8ish, I think, and I WISH we had stayed till the very, very. . . like putting-away-the-chairs-and-tables. . . END. I try to make sure none of my friends make this same mistake. You'll NEVER have a party like that again!
4. My dad is my hero and no, I'm not an artist like he is (a lot of people ask me that), but I wish I was.
5. I've visited 12 states (Hawaii, Utah, Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New York, Illinois, Washington D.C. and Michigan) and 10 countries (United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Samoa, El Salvador and Guatemala). Sooo, looks like I have a lot more traveling to do! lol I used to hope to visit Europe one day, but traveling is SO different for me with kids - like, so NOT a vacation and soo NOT fun ha ha - so we'll see if that ever happens.
6. We always had dogs growing up. My favorites were - Lehua (a red Irish Setter), Kanani (a Golden Retriever), Star (a Golden Retriever), and Heidi (our Great Dane). I cried each time each of them left us.
7. I have really bad eyes, teeth and hair. I can't go ANYWHERE without my glasses or contacts. I hope someday to be brave enough and rich enough for Lasik. Braces corrected my teeth once upon a time, but since I haven't been diligent in my retainer they aren't as perfect as they once were. And my hair. . . . hmm. . . It's bushy, frizzy and curly and I've tried everything with it - chopped it off, had bangs, chemically straightened it, french braided it every day and worn it brushed out everyday (NOT a good idea). Now, I'm just trying to let it grow out. We'll see how that goes. Oh, and in other hair issues - I need to pluck my eyebrows once a week or I look like Bert.
K, now reading over my list I'm thinking I maybe should have used my censor button a little more. ha ha Oh well. I tag IPO and CANDICE. . .and anyone else who needs to update their blogs! :)

and thanks for the way more than 7 randomness!! hahaha!! just kidding! i love learning more about my friends!! =) thx for doin it and for passing it on!
What you sayin' girl? I need to update my blog?? Ha! Okay, before I do, I have to say that I love these 7 (but really 100) random things about you. Just so you know, Sefo and I stayed at our reception until we put away the chairs and tables. By that time, my wedding dress was stained and hammajangs...but you only wear it once, right? Cause even if you get married more than once, you're not going to wear the same dress twice...well, I wouldn't. Okay. So I accept this tag. I wonder if I can turn 7 into 100 just like you? Ha!!
Awesome post Mary.. especially the part about Bert.
ha!ha! I thought I was off the hook from Crystal tagging you guys then when I saw I got tagged I was going to tag Ipo and you ended up hitting us both...lol
Amen on #3 that's so true. It's all your closest friends and family and you leave???who hyped up a honeymoon anyways...ha!ha! I also regret not taking familly pictures w/ his family they have never been together ever since.
Lol what a fun list Mary! I didn't realize how much you've been around the world. Cool! And I've never dyed my hair either. :)
I would like to thank you for encouraging me to say things on my blog that I never thought I would have the guts to say...but it's cathartic. So anyways, still laughing over your "Bert" eyebrows. And I actually walked the Great Wall of China as well...but not bare foot. Had a little salesman chasing me the whole way, it was fun!!
i remember your dog!! every time i saw your mom walking him around the big circle at BYU i would be amazed at how big he was.
...and your hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! if I had hair as thick as yours I'd be so happy!!! =))
Bwahahahahaha!!!!! Remembering the days when your hair was all MURRRRRAYYY hahahaha
Lol...This was a great read! Thanks Mary =) My blog definitely needs an update... It's 7 months behind. haha
