2. What color are your socks right now? White

4. What was the last thing that you ate? A homemade chocolate chip cookie (you caught me)

16. What do you do to vent anger? Call my sister or mom

the brothers' comments got me to. even when i re-read them later.
and you are definitely aquamarine. gorgeous.
we have the same prenup. unless we live on multiple acres, there will be no pets.
love the survey. and i miss you. we have both been too busy this week if we've talked so rarely. call me when flint's parents are gone and life is back to normal.
i would have to agree there is a huge differance between so cal and nor cal when im there people ask were are you from and i say ca then i have to think and say so cal
hey allison! it was fun reading about you & getting to know you a little better. you are an inspiring little lady!
i read your sisters post about your dad. what a touching tribute. you have such a great family! i'm sorry to hear about your dad - i can't imagine how hard that must have been & still is. isn't it great to have siblings to lean on?
it's kinda crazy what a small world this is, cause looking through your blog, i realize that i know some of your peeps! mahina was in the same singles ward with me for a little while down here. she probably won't remember me, but i remember her because she was this "beautiful hawaiin girl"!! i thought that was so funny when i saw her on here. also - i'm wondering if you made some friends your freshman year of college...did you go to byu & know some guys name chris & george?? i grew up with them & remember they had some friends named allison & michal from byu. michal is an unusual name for a girl, so it kinda stood out to me. anyway, that would be pretty funny. actually, aaron hoke grew up with those guys too. let me know if you knew them! have a great day.
Stephanie,
Yes, we love Chris and George! We had some crazy fun with them durung our freshman year at BYU (silly costumes, practical jokes, late night Denny's runs, road trips...). George's dad was actually friends with my dad in high school too. What a small world. I haven't heard form either of them in years.
I should look at your link list and see if we have any ofter common friends.
Thanks for doing this, Allison. I enjoyed reading it and I am glad to know you have a blog. I'll have to add it to my regular blog reading.
