Over the past 27 years, and since becoming a Mother of 2 wild and crazy children, I have had a lot of time getting to know ME. Thought I'd share some facts about myself:
* I am one HUGE perfectionist
* I am not that outgoing (dislike this about myself very much)
* I am still a shy quiet person around my in-laws, ALL in-laws (I dont think they even know the real Shana yet, its been 11 years!)
* I have a HUGE passion for decorating and being creative
* I secretly wish I was a photographer, I know I could take amazing pictures, just MUST have the right camera first
* I also secretly wish I was an RN, I just dont want to do ANY of the CNA stuff
* I very much dislike pictures of myself, maybe that is why I never post any
* I am a closet crier, I HATE letting people see me upset and emotional
* I have a brain that runs on overdrive, I am constantly thinking about my next projects, clothing, hair etc...
* I am a tom boy, yep, I have been since I was a baby really. Running, basketball, outdoorsey activities, playing boy things with my kids (the boy in me quit after a trampoline accident I had at 14, seriously it was bad. Still traumatic to me this very day)
* I LOVE being girly though, all things hair, shoes, fashion, for myself and the kiddos. Wish I could dress my hubs but most of the time he wont let me
* I LOVE to sleep. Lazy? I dont think so, I am exhausted by the end of the day
* I am a really GREAT hair stylist, arrogant... No! Confident
* I love Brian Reagan, best Comedian EVER
* I occasionally have a hard time being a Stay-At-Home-Mom, I miss going to work sometimes
* I love to bake, wish I had more time and that it wouldnt go to waste after
* I love the rain
* I hate the wind, it ruins cute hair
* I have an enormous fear of flying
* I LOVE Disneyland, it really is the happiest place on earth
* I never take vacations really! I need a little getaway every couple of months to stay sane..... I am dreaming
* I think I have anxiety, although its not diagnosed
* I want a Pottery Barn home one day, with a little twist and a surprise
* I LOVE decorating, fashion, and hair.. Did I say that already?!
* I take birthdays very seriously
* I want to live out of state, for a while, but ultimately retire in Utah
* I can tell only one other person besides my husband, my deepest darkest secrets and know she is not judging me
* I have an incredible tolerance to pain
* I get excited thinking about the day we have more kids
* I dislike FAKE people, sounds so high school but it still stands true to this day
* I really love my calling, I teach the 5-6 year olds and these kids are truly great, and blessed with the spirit
* I have been in love once, and thats with my husband
* I ADORE my babes........ I am so lucky
* I would love to be Zooey Deschanel for 1 day, she is BEAUTIFUL and an incredible singer and her fashion... LOVE
* I LOVE singing, love it. True story, I was in a girl group growing up but DONT TELL ANYONE!
* I dont like being the center of attention, my wedding was hard for me that way
* I would LOVE doing hair for film, so awesome
* I had a really hard time deciding whether to go to Cosmetology school or Interior Design school, in high school
* I was never a "SCHOOL" person, just so shy but also felt so much more mature than everyone there
* I really wish there were more hours in the day that I could spend playing with my kids, sometimes I feel like its just not enough and I love hearing them laugh
* I was a fish, really at 16 months old I was diving and swimming like I had gills
* I was a figure skater, and loved every minute of it but I was too competitive
* I am going to run a marathon one day, assuming that the kids will let me train hard for it
* I wish I was one of those girls that could jump out of the shower beautiful, jealous so jealous
* I am not witty
* I get mean when I am overwhelmed
* I sometimes think I could throw a 2 year old tantrum
* I love cuddling with Naters, I love that man
* I love basking in the SUN, but get scared for wrinkles and skin cancer
* I remember everything, I never forget... remember that!
