26. I LOVED growing up in a small town, but am afraid I'm too spoiled to the conveniences of living in a city. I don't know if I could move back.

41. I broke my finger playing softball and it never healed quite right, so it will always be a little crooked.

Enjoyed your list! I'm totally with you on the vegetarian thing.
Have you ever been to www.43things.com or was that a coincidence?
Complete coincidence. How funny.
Hmmm...that's a good list, there were a lot of things I didn't know about you. What did you run in track? My favorite thing on your list is #42.
Re No. 29:
Talk about things we didn't know !
Your husband is Spanish? Do his
parents know that?
Cool list! I learned all kinds of new things! Actually I think the only things I already knew were: that you used to be a janitor on campus (I remember running into you at the health center), that you wanted to be a dentist and about your first date with Andrew...I remember him telling all of us at work that you FINALLY went out with him and how cool it was that you watched an Adam Sandler movie with him:) The only other thing I remember from you guys dating is that he had this huge plan that he was going to ask a girl to marry him by bring a couch up Provo Canyon and having pop or Martinellis or something cooling in a stream and watching TV with a generator? something like that...did you ever do that date?
I thought of your list when I made a completely vegeterian dinner tonight - my favorite is #5 - the picture is classic!
Love
Mom Sweat
Loved your list, Andi. Would love to read 57 more things if you get a chance....
Andi, I'm glad you made a list. You have great teeth. The picture of you and your mom is definitely classic. I too thought number 42 was very interesting. I can think of a few other things about you that I have observed and admire about you:
1. You wear great jewelry
2. You have great fashion sense
3. You have a great relationship with your husband
4. You are good at making friends
5. You are great at documenting your family life
6. You love people and make friends easily
7. You are happy/positive and rarely get down
8. You take motherhood's little challenges in stride
9. Living the gospel comes naturally to you
10. You seem to have a yellow personality - always up for a fun adventure with the kids and willing to jump right into the fun with them
Let's see...
I ran long distance in track. Mainly the 800, mile, and 2 mile. I also would sometimes run the 4x400 relay and the 4x800 relay.
Thank you nitpicky Grandpa. :) I've corrected my little typo. If both my mom and dad were Spanish, I guess that would make me Spanish, too, huh?
Sandy--Andrew's other potential fiancee must've gotten that proposal! :) He proposed at Provo Rock Canyon park, but there was no couch, TV, generator, or Martinelli's involved.
Laurie--you're so nice. I guess with your 10, I now have 52. Anyone care to come up with 47 more? :)
I'd like to clarify #39. While studying one night, Andrea nestled up against me, gazed into my eyes, leaned forward, and put her lips about 3/4 of an inch from mine. She essentially yelled, "Kiss me already, you big wimp!" Even though I technically initiated the contact, it was Andrea who was undoubtedly responsible for our first kiss.
In #35, you spelled "spanking" wrong. :-)
