April 16th Astrology

An Aries born on April 16 has a great need to explore their world through a prism of altered reality. They are never content to keep their life-view to themselves but must share it through career achievements or personal relationships. (c'est moi?)

April 16 natives often choose companions who have qualities that they lack. (how true that is! Let's just say my home is not nice and clean because of any of my qualities)

Love is an extended learning experience for them. (yes yes yes)

The imaginative powers of April 16 individuals make them children at heart. (um...YES)

April 16 people have a sense of destiny--a need to feel as if their personal vision is reflected in the work they do. They are notoriously unconcerned with making money and may even unconsciously subvert their own efforts in that regard. ( Now that I think about it, I really would rather work a low paying job I love than make a lot at one that's not meaningful)

They should embrace: Musicality and taking chances (cool)

I do love celebrating my birthday, though I don't think anything could ever top last year :)

Random Tag

My cute friend Em G. tagged me- here's 7 random things about me (Heather)

1.I fell in the pool of a strangers house
This is one of my earliest memories! I was three, Jeremy and I were playing superman (I was Lois Lane of course) while my parents toured a house for rent with the owners. We were bending over the pool to scoop out ‘kryptonite’ water or something and I fell in headfirst! The pool vacuum was running at the time and swam right by my face- to this day I am TERRIFEID of pool vacuums. By the way, my dad jumped in and saved me. And we did rent the house.

(even putting this picture up made my heart beat fast! How sad!)

2. I walked down the stairs from the second floor of the Eiffel tower
As a 7 year old, I thought it was a great idea to walk down the Eiffel tower- just to say I did. My dad joined me on the quest and 700 stairs later we finished! It hurt.


3. I used to show rabbits in the fair
When I was about Jr. High age, I showed my mini-rex rabbits in the county fair a few years! My proudest moments: Miss Dotty bit the judge (still got a blue ribbon though!) and Scamper got Best of Breed (and chewed the top off of her pretty ribbon.) Those were the days. I hope Scott lets me get a bunny someday.

(this isn't a picture of my rabbit...but it looks a lot like them)

4. I have one nearsighted and one farsighted eye
I’ve shared this before, but I think it is too cool.

5. My hair is longer now than it has ever been in my life
It is so heavy! I give myself headaches every time I put it in a ponytail. I love it though; we’ll see how long I last.

6. I laugh out loud even if I’m alone
This is probably Scotts favorite discovery about me- it cracks him up. It usually happens when I’m reading…I will burst out laughing at something funny in the book and then laughing makes me laugh harder and I can’t stop. Silly.

7. I cry at the drop of a hat if I get hurt
This is probably Scotts least favorite discovery about me! If I get hurt even the tiniest bit, I cry a little...mostly because it scared me I think. Then, just like the laughing, crying makes me cry harder and I have a little moment. Then I'm done. So far it has happened when Scott knocked a power drill onto my foot (I have slow reflexes) and yesterday when I hit my head really hard on something. Not pretty. Sorry Scott.

I tag Jeremy (yes you my brother!)

Husband Tag

Marilyn tagged me forever ago to do this husband quiz thing. Now that I have one (a husband that is...) I'd love to brag a bit!

1. What is his name? Scott

2. Who eats more? He eats more at dinner but often skips lunch during the day. That makes us pretty close

3. Who said "I love you" first? I did...brave huh!

4. Who is taller? Scott is by 9 inches. I wear heels so often that it usually feels more like 5 or 6.

5. Who is smarter? It depends. Usually him!

6. Who is more sensitive? He is very sensitive, but I think I have him beat by a bit.

7. Who does the laundry? We're tied on that one.

8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Looking at the bed...I do.

9. Who pays the bills? We both do so far but I think I'll take over that department soon.

10. Who cooks more? Oh gosh. Right now it's even.

11. What meals do you cook together? Sometimes dinner

12. Who is more stubborn? He says I am!

13. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Hmmm...probably him. (I have the whole 'stubborn' thing going on)

14. Who has more siblings? Scott has double what I do.

15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Scott does and he looks good in 'em.

16. What do you like to do together? Everything! That's the best thing about marriage- you get to see each other every day! After a long distance relationship, it's something we definitely don't take for granted!

17. Who eats more sweets? That would be me. Heather.

18. Guilty pleasures? Going out to eat, pg-13 movies (ha ha), spending money!

19. How did you meet? On a UTA bus. It was our 5th day of school at UVSC, 18 years old, September 2003. He sat down next to me and ended up walking me home from the stop. He asked me out a day later and we have been together ever since!

20. Who asked out who first? Scott: we lived at the same apt complex in Provo. He saw my roomies and I outside so he put on a cut off tee shirt and grabbed a basketball. He walked up to us all 'cool' like he was going to go 'shoot some hoops'. He asked me to go out with him that night. We watched a movie up in the mountains on a triple date with his room mates. We were sold!

21. Who kissed who first? We had gone out for almost a month before he kissed me! There was a lot of peer pressure- ha ha. He finally pinned me down on the couch one day and just did it. It was the best! I took a piece of that couch fabric with me when I moved.

22. Who proposed? Scott surprised me on my 23rd birthday with flowers, a limo and huge FIREWORKS in front of dozens of people! I loved everything about it!

23. His best features? LOVE his dark hair, his eyebrows and green eyes. He is the perfect height, great arms and a nice caboose! :) His hand fits perfectly with mine!

24. What are his greatest qualities? He is so lovable, hilarious- I laugh ALL THE TIME, hardest working person I know, thoughtful, spiritual, creative, and pretty darn near perfect!

If anyone else wants to brag about your man- copy this onto your blog! It's fun to reflect :)

Here’s 7 things you might or might not know about me!

HEATHER

1. I love having blonde hair. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. When I was 8, we were in Paris and I was momentarily kidnapped by Asian tourists. They all wanted pictures with the little blonde girl. After that, I felt like my hair color was special.
2. I still sleep with a teddy bear. If I don’t have it with me, I stuff a pillow under my arm! I don’t like feeling alone at night, and I think over the years I convinced myself that a 14 inch stuffed animal could save me if I ever got into trouble.
3. I should actually have a lazy eye…Luke calls me a mutant because my brain figured out how to make things work. One eye is far sighted and the other is near sighted. Only about 2% of people have that, and usually they have a lazy eye! Mine cancel each other out and I can see just fine. Sometimes I’m a little crossed, but it’s better than it should be.
4. I talk to animals…and I think they can understand me. Yep, I am a big fan; I’m pretty convinced that I’ll see all my bunnies up in heaven again. The day Miss Dotty died I called Scott and he thought a person had died because of how upset I was!
5. I usually remember at least part of my dreams in the morning. I am a psycho dreamer…I don’t know where I come up with the stuff. Don’t get creeped out, but most of you reading this have probably made a cameo appearance in my dreams before.
6. I played with Barbie’s till I was 12. Ash and I played all the time together; we’d get these dramatic 3-day games going. I feel bad, sometimes I’d put her in tears because “Bridgett broke up with Ken and stole his dog in the middle of the night…”
7. I have super-sonic hearing. If I’m alone watching TV, the volume is hardly up at all. There have been times in movie theaters that I wanted to literally cry because the sound was so loud! Sometimes I keep earplugs in my purse just in case…

I'm tagging...JEREMY!!!!!!
