10 Things You Might Not Know About Me

So I was thinking of doing this the other day and then today I read my SIL's blog and noticed she had done something somewhat similar, so anyway, I just thought it would be fun, so here goes. Feel free to do it too, but I'm not going to "tag" anyone this time.
1-I have 4 tattoos (a lavender cherry blossom, retarded dolphin, Winnie the Pooh, and Celtic symbol for eternal life that I share w/my cousin). I know what you're thinking, I was a big time rebel for about 3-4 years in college.

2-I did a photo shoot for a magazine for a salon in college and had really awesome purple hair.

3-I speak French.

4-I've had 2 miscarriages.

5-I've been to London and Cancun.

6-I'm technically an only child.

7-I milked cows on a dairy farm where Butch and I lived for the first 2 yrs. of our marriage.

8-I went to 6 different colleges. (No wonder it took me so long to graduate).

9-I've been to 12 different temples. (San Diego, LA, Mesa, Timpanogas, Bountiful, Ogden, Jordan River, St. George, SLC, London, Idaho Falls, Boise). I've also been to Open Houses in Las Vegas and Twin Falls.

10-I was engaged twice before I met Mr. Perfect.


In other news, I just checked out Stephenie Meyer's site and I know there are a few of you in AZ that might want to attend this, so here's the info copied directly-

March 16, 2009

Hey guys! This is just a heads up about an event I'm involved with here in Phoenix. The plan was for me to go entirely hermit this year (or decade), but there are always those things important enough to pull me out of my burrow. One of my dear friends and mentors, Faith Hochhalter—a truly gifted book buyer who put together some of my most successful events—was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I am not the only author who was helped along by her talent and enthusiasm, and all of us who have enjoyed her influence in our lives and careers are eager to help her through this rough time. To assist with her medical bills, several young adult writers are joining together for a fund-raising event: Project Save the Book Babe. The event will be on April 4th in Tempe, AZ; it will include live music, a panel discussion with the attending authors, and an auction of some fun and/or rare items from each author. All the information about the event and the authors attending can be found at ProjectBookBabe.com. Personally, I'll be auctioning some ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) of my books, an early marked up manuscript or two, my dress from the Eclipse prom, and the fluffy original epilogue to Forever Dawn, along with signed books, of course. We're still in the process of putting this together, so more info will be forthcoming over the next week. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Tuesday the 17th) so if you're interested in attending and helping us save our Book Babe Faith, hurry over to the site and check it out.

Thank you!

Steph
