Seven Random Things About Me

1. I was Marsh Valley Junior Miss
Yup, it's true. It still blows me away because my talent was a song called "cause I'm a blonde" from a movie called Earth Girls are Easy. However, I must have been blonde enough for them, cause I like won y'all! :)

2. I have a record with the State of Utah.
It all started because I was in a fender bender and didn't have my insurance information in the car at the time. Therefore I was to appear in court to prove I had it. Unfortunately due to a miscommunication, I missed my court date. When I showed up there wasn't anyone in the courtroom. I asked why at the desk downstairs, and found out that there was a warrant for my arrest because I hadn't shown up to my court date (which was the day before). I was cuffed and put in a cell until Kells could bail me out ($500.00). Luckily, it was all resolved with the second court date (that I did show up for). The judge said I had made a mountain out of a molehill, and then refunded the $500.

3. I have a Homeland Security Record
Another moment that we all refer to as "Kate Moments". I had been married for 2 months when the company I had been an office manager for asked me to set up one of their summer offices. I agreed to go because it was good money that would pay off our furniture. As I was going through security at the airport, they asked me if I had a knife in my bag. I laughed (thinking they were kidding) and said, "no". They then proceeded to take everything out of the bag until they found nothing other than a knife. After a long chat with a sheriff and the Homeland Security Director, I was released. Phew! They agreed that I didn't know the knife was there, that I was a silly 19 year old, and sent me on my way. That is after I received a $250 fine because the knife was one quarter inch longer than was allowed.

4. I hate noodles
There isn't a big story here, I just don't like the texture or taste. However, I want my kids to eat them so I do make them on occasion. I also have acquired a taste for alfredo, so will eat that if the restaurant has nothing else. :)

5. I love to do laundry
There is something very fulfilling about taking a pile of laundry and making it clean, smell good, and wrinkle free. Then comes my favorite part-the folding. I love to fold laundry. It is so therapeutic. I love to take the clothes basket of inside out and mixed up clothes and turn it into perfect little piles of folded organization.

6. I love sugar
Mike laughs at me, because I will put jam on a waffle and then top it off with syrup. I love to make things as sweet as possible. I like having a little cookie with my icing if you know what I mean. My biggest weaknesses are oreos, m&m's and swedish fish. If it is in the house, I will eat it. Giving up my candy and sweets is the hardest part of trying to lose weight.

7. I have had 3 surgeries
When I was fifteen I ruptured my appendix giving me a 2 inch scar on my lower right abdomen. I have also had two c-sections which have left a six-inch half-circle on my lower middle abdomen. Put the two together and I have what I like to call my winking smiley face.

Most of you already knew these things, but it is fun to laugh about our little random facts anyway.
