1. If you could change anything about the world today, what would it be?

Ever since the election last month, I have become really sensitive to all this hatred that has been going on! I am amazed at how divided the country is, and to be honest it truly scares me. I would change that. I want us to be what the title of our country is called "UNITED!" So yes, I indeed just gave a beauty queen pageant answer. I want world Peace people *I say this while crying*

  

2. What has been your greatest accomplishment in life?

 I tell you what. In the 24 years on this earth I have done some pretty amazing things like singing with motab, for President Hinkley, sang at my graduation, living in Russia, got a college  degree and bla bla bla. Hands down these 3 are my greatest accomplishment.  I mean look at them. I get to be around these stunning beautiful and handsome (might I add) people every single day. I have a temple marriage to that sexy (yes I said that) boy holding the two kids and together we make  model babies. You have 2 examples to prove it, and we will have at least 2 or 3 more if that is not enough proof for you. Those 2 or 3 wont becoming for a while might I add.   I have a beautiful family that I am sealed too, That is the ultimate trump card if you ask me.

3. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 

Do you want the realistic one or the one I dream about.

I hope that we are both done with school, Ron has a good job as a professor at a good school, we have a house that we have bought and not rented, we will actually make more a month than we spend, and  have our 4 or 5 (ron says 4) children.

We will probably be still renting, paying off student loans, have our 4 kids, and ron has a good job. Either way life is good. 

4. If you could go back in time and see yourself at 16, what would you tell yourself?

I would tell myself not to dilly dally so much after high school. I could have my master's degree by now. and I don't even have a bachelor's. I would also just tell myself to keep doing what I am doing. I don't think I would give up much about our future. I might just tell myself what age I get married.  I don't know. I like the surprise of it all. For sure though I would tell myself you can still play while getting your degree.

5. What is your most embarrassing moment?

oh gee. Which one. I have too many. The first.  Breaking the bed my senior year on the allstate singing trip. Oh boy I will never live that one down. DON'T PLAY POCAHONTAS ON BEDS NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING IT!!!!!!!

Second. Maybe TMI, but I have to say the first time I accidentally (might I add) let out the tiniest fart in front of my then fiance' Ron. Oh my word I could have died. I buried my face in my hoodie while he laughed and said and I quote "THAT WAS SUCH A CUTE LITTLE ONE! and then he kissed me"  what a weirdo. Lucky for me I married someone who thinks farting, pooping and whatever else is hilarious. He literally said he loved me more for that. This is why I married him. He is a crack up.

oh wait wait last but not least hands down the most embarrassing moment of my life. The projectile vomit story on our first anniversary when I was pregnant with Hayden. Ya some of you know that story. Oh man I literally cried with embarrassment. Ron had to console me. My poor husband has to deal with so much.

or that time I caught my house on fire. Thats a good one too! 

6. What would be your idea of a perfect day?

I have two. One with children and one with them being at grandma's!!!

Honestly It would be laying on the beach some where with my honey. Doing what ever we want with money not being an issue. If my kids were there they would be little angels and I could just relax and not have to get after them. Top it off with a luxury dinner somewhere and a massage. 

7. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?

London: I have always wanted to see Broadway in London. It just sounds like magic.

Italy: It just has so much history, food, music, art, and it just sounds romantic.

Greece: This sounds corny, but ever since I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants I have wanted to go to Greece. It just sounds Romantic.

Russia: I miss Russia so much it Hurts! I love Russia, and I miss my family too much.  

Israel, Jerusalem etc: I would just love to go and see and be where Christ was. It just sounds amazing.

8. What is one of your favorite family traditions?

Building a fort on Christmas Eve, Santa coming to our house on Christmas ever and sitting on his lap, Sunday afternoon naps, Playing games around the table eating m &m's and nuts, and going shooting.

 

9. Who is your biggest role model in life?

 Ron thinks it him. HA! Okay I do admire a lot about him, but honestly this is horrible but I am not sure. I like to pick the qualities I love in people and then try to be like that. 

I honestly think I admire my children most.I often find myself just staring at them in awe. They are so perfect and innocent. Christ does say we need to be like little children.

10. What is your all-time favorite song?

UMMMMMMmmmmmm.................. geez miki you know that I can't pick that! Seriously! Thats like asking me to pick who my favorite child is!!!!!!!!  Okay not that bad, but Next  time ask me my favorite composer. Cause that one is easy. I did have one come to me and that is Nessun Dorma. Its beautiful and it makes me cry!I just love classical and so does my hubby. We are that nerdy couple that blasts classical music in our household. Ask our neighbors.  Its definitely tied with a bunch of other songs though. If you haven't heard it Let me show you the light.... click here... beautiful right?! 

11. List 5 of your biggest strengths/talents!

I asked Ron so I didn't feel conceded.

The bum said this:

texting

blogging

facebooking

being social

and compassionate service.

 And to think I said he was my biggest accomplishment. At least the last one was nice.

Then he gave me a real answer.   

 Singing
