My 25

1.I am in love with the mountains, especially the Wasatch Front. I don't think I could ever move away from them.

2. Astronomy is fascinating to me. I would love to join a star gazing club and have nerdy guys points out all the constellations to me.

3.I took piano lessons for 8 years, stopped about a year ago. I love playing, but mostly just play hymns and such.

4.My favorite teachers have always been guys: Mr. Edwards, Shute, Bustin, Banks, Rand, Barton, Titus, Hemming , except my kindergarten and first grade teacher Mrs. Harmon, she'll always be #1.

5.I traveled to 9 different countries in one year. (2007) I went seven countries in Europe (including Vatican City, and yes that counts) on a three week tour, went to Canada with my family and Israel for two weeks with AIFL.

6.I'm a hypocrite, try not to be, but still am.

7.I have a huge family. 13 siblings, 16 of us total. Twenty years between the youngest and the oldest. I'm in the middle: number 8, ten years younger than the oldest and ten years older than the youngest. 8. I took ceramics and pottery in 11th grade. I wasn't any good at either of them, everything I made was very amateur. But I absolutely loved pottery. I went into a whole new world when I threw that clay on the wheel and molded it with my hands.

9. I sucked my thumb until I was about 7 or 8. Probably a little too old, but it was a comfort to me. I finally quit when my dentist convinced me it would mess up my teeth; and it did. Good call doc.

10.I talk to myself sometimes. When I was younger I would make up stories in my head, like a movie. Creating characters, a story line, with a problem/solution. It kept me occupied for hours.

11.Traditions are incredibly important to me. I want to bring all my traditions into my future family. My husband better let me. I'll take some of his, but I need all of mine.

12. I have a bad habit of copy the way other people talk, mostly accents. I think I get it from my mom. We'll catch each other doing it. The worst is when you copy someone right in front of them. Like my Spanish teacher in 9th grade. He's from South America and was awful at teaching Spanish, so basically I'd just copy/make fun of him all period, and one time I copied him while he was talking to my friend right next to me. Embarrassing, I felt so bad but I continue to do it anyway.

13.Every time I write, type, or text the word Beautiful I have say to the letters B-E-A-U and tiful. Its not a hard word to spell, its just kinda habit and I sometimes get the order of the vowels mixed up.

14. I sometimes enjoy the smell of cigarette smoke. I don't like or support smoking, and I hate when its too strong. But a subtle whiff of smoke is pleasant, because it reminds me of my uncle, and of the 'T' in Boston(the underground train. I love the subway and such public transportations in big cities.)

15.I love the Native American culture.

16.Bear Lake is like my second home. I have taken family vacations up there since I can remember. When I was young we went to Bear Lake every summer. A few years ago we bought a condo up there and now go up several times a year. It may just be my favorite place on earth.

17. I have bad handwriting. I say its because I'm going to be a doctor, and everyone knows doctors have bad hand writing. I believe the reason for this is that there's a lot going on their brain and they can't write quickly enough to get it all down. So basically if you have bad handwriting, its because you're smart.

18. I write in my journal every week. I got my first journal on my 8th birthday, and went crazy. I have about 10 journals so far, and I'm still going strong.

19.My best friend is Michelle Dyer. We've known each other pretty much forever. Our parents have been friends since college, but I think we've been friends since the pre-mortal existence. She lives in Alabama, but I see her almost every summer. Her family usually comes up here for a few weeks, and I've gone down there twice.

20. I was named after my mother. My first name is actually Katherine and I go by my middle name Grace.

21. I really enjoy reading. I try to read the book before seeing the movie. Doesn't always happen, but the book is always better. Its a fact.

22.Rascal Flatts is my favorite band. Gary LeVox is amazing!

23.Quotes are one of my favorite things. Quotes can express ideas so well. I try to memorize the quotes I love, but often fail at it.

24. I will have my Associates degree by the end of the summer after my high school graduation. I then plan to have my bachelors by 2011 from BYU and go on to Medical school at the U. That's my plan, lets hope it works.

25.I believe strongly in the law of attraction. I will bring into my life what I envision. I try to think positively all the time, so I can have the best life possible.
