Iowa State Fair
First it starts out a piglet, but after a few ice cream cones and a giant turkey leg... it turns into a 1,259 lb beast! (Can you see Dave crouched behind the giant pig?) We still love each other, even if we are acting like pigs! Animals and food, that's what a fair is all about.

Ok Natalie, I'm tagged...
Ten years ago I was:
1. Wearing braces
2. Sporting very unflattering short hair
3.Staring as “Nancy” in the musical Oliver Twist
4. Scrubbing toilets at Dad’s office for a living
5. Learning how to fall in love
Five things on tomorrow's "To Do" list:
1. Spend the first half of the day working as a Dental Assistant (Wednesdays we close at noon.)
2. Go to the State Fair with Dave – and only Dave!
3. Pick tart apples off a nearby wild apple tree and juice them. Mmmmm.
4. Get a new book from the library…I think I’ll try Rebecca
5. Wake up Dave by pouncing on him and then pretending I’m a little girl and he is my Christmas present all wrapped up (in sheets.)
Snacks I enjoy:
1. Young coconuts! Oh yumm! I can only find them at Asian Markets.
2. Raspberries
3. Strawberries dipped in warm melted chocolate
4. Sweetened Crystallized pineapples
5. Sesame Snaps
Things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Have a beautiful buckskin horse (with a few others for guests to ride) and a little house for the man who takes care of my horse.
2. My own little cottage secluded in a thin wood with a stream bubbling nearby, a vegetable garden, a few fruit trees, and a cook.
3. Serve lots of missions with Dave
4. Travel to Italy, India, back to Namibia, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland…
5.Make Dave retire so he could spend all day every day with me. And I guess I’d share him with our kids and grandkids, too.
Places I have lived:
1. Spokane, Wa
2. Utah
3. Las Vegas
4. Namibia (Africa)
5. Iowa
Things that infuriate me:
1. Politics
2. When Dave won’t close his eyes and let me put some mystery food in his mouth
3. Doctors who aren’t honest enough to say “I don’t know” and are too lazy to try anything out of their usual routine.
Things people may not know about me:
1. I can name all of the US Presidents in order
2. One of my secret delights is skinny-dipping
3. I have fallen asleep in a graveyard next to a tombstone
4. I have hiked the highest sand dune in the world
6. I have skinned a giant lizard
7.I have licked a human eyeball
8. I have never been happier at any stage of life or felt more complete than I do in my marriage with Dave.
