- my house would (hopefully) be a whole lot cleaner
- my kids would see more than the back of my head
- my fledgling scripture tote business would be booming (yeah, right)
- I would never have met or become better acquaitned with some truly wonderful, fabulous, beautiful women.
So, of course, I must celebrate my upcoming Blogiversary with a giveaway.
I'm not celebrating my blog here though, just want to straighten that up real quick--(despite what this post title might lead you to think)--I want to celebrate all of you guys out there, who have become my friends over the past year.
So, I went to the Dollar store this morning (big spender that I am)
I saw this adorable little box...
and I found some cute little things to fill it up with-which I'll share with you slowly over the next couple of days. 
I have to share this with you now though, because it's too big to fit into the box. 
It actually might not be an American Express gift card though-because In-n-Out doesn't take American Express. It'll be a Visa or Mastercard instead. It will have $25 loaded on it though-for you to spend as you wish.
There is definitely some chocolate in there, and a little something made by me.
So, here are the rules:
- Leave me a comment, or two, or three, or four--as many as you want. You'll get one entry per comment.
- Each comment MUST contain a random fact about yourself.
- Let your friends know, the more the merrier I say.
- If you post about it on your blog, let me know in another comment, that way you get an additional entry.
- You have until March 17th at 6:00 AM to leave me a comment.
- I'll draw a winner that morning.
- I'm offering a second and third place prize too. I'll post about those later as well.
So there you go. Hope you enter, I love doing giveaways.

We are changing home school curriculums next year.
But I don't know which one of two we are going to use yet.
I dated the same guy all through high school, but he is not the man I married.
I LOVE to play with home decor, but I rarely spend the money it takes to do it right. Thus my house isn't nearly as cute as I think it could be.
There are still a lot of blank walls.
*hugs*
I'm Heather Meyer's friend. I collect all things pig- slippers, salt & pepper shakers, pillows, etc.
Wow mikki, you are quite popular!!

I got married at 18.
I had my first baby at 20.
I have spent way too much time on the computer today.
My husband has a seasonal depression problem, which will trigger my depression no mater what the season. I blogged about it.
I bid on a prize and since I was the only bidder; I had a bidding war against myself. I had a ball!

China, Switzerland, Ireland, South Africa and I even have one from the actual Margaritaville Bar in Mexico. It's shaped like a salt shaker.
Anyone going anywhere? hmmmmm?
I've been the church secretary for 2 different Pastor's
We were adopting twin boys, the mothers family had a certain amount of time. We had the boys for 5 months and they changed their minds.
TMI? Too personal? OOPs
We just watched Lie to Me (TV show) and the same scenario happened. Just brought it to mind.

Wife! (even after I had four kids)
Now, I am worried after leaving those last 3 random comments that I am going to gain 40 lbs and grow deep wrinkles as deep as the grande canyon! because I have been so arrogant! EEEEEEEEEEkkkks
I love to serve and I love to help but I don't like to be told what to do or when to do it. So, if you need me to do something, it is much easier on my ego to ask me or run it by me, NOT TELL ME what to do

I love this, count me in!!!! :O)
Random fact, don't laugh now, my second toe is WAY bigger than my big toe on my left foot, haha!!!!! :o)

Okay, I have some freckles in places that I know for a fact have never seen the sun!! Now I am wondering how they got there! Do you think my mother layed me naked in the sun when I was a baby? Just sayin...
freck·le (frÄ›k'É™l: A small brownish spot on the skin, often turning darker or increasing in number upon EXPOSURE to the sun.
One more thing, I'm taking the Grand Girls to fly kites at beach in the morning and I am seriously the best kite flyer ever!
(Not braggin when it's the truth) When my boys were cub scouts they always won the first place ribbons for highest flying and longest flying kites. My daddy taught me and in turn I have taught my boys and now my grand girls and most of my nephews and nieces. I come from a long line of flyers.
The first time I ever dyed my hair was when I was a sophomore in college. And I was so scared that I only bought the wash out stuff, which washed out in about 2 days. I'm a wimp when it comes to my hair!
(WARNING: If you get queasy from talking about gross injuries, don't read this.) When I was in 10th grade, I had fake nails from attending a Prom. One day, I was walking toward a drinking fountain that had a step in front of it (which I didn't notice) and I tripped, but caught myself with my hands. The thumbnail on my right hand must have taken the brunt of the fall because the fake nail and the real nail completely tore off. I know, disgusting. And it hurt like crazy.
My full name is Laura Ashley, but I go by my middle name.
My mom got the idea for my name by seeing a Laura Ashley display while she was shopping at JC Penney's.
I've helped pull out a tooth and do a bone augmentation in a ladies mouth before. It was amazingly cool.
I've probably watched Pride and Prejudice (the long version) between 15-20 times. I should probably be reading my scriptures instead :)
I used to HATE tubing behind boats in the summertime, but my in-law's love it, so last summer I conquered my fear, got in the water and had a blast! Now I love it. :)
I think my favorite flowers would have to be either gerbera daisies, tulips, or calilies Love em.
My favorite Disney Princess is most definitely Belle. She takes the cake any day of the week.
I always wanted to attend BYU and do Track and Field, but apparently, it wasn't in the cards. So, I ended up in the coldest city on earth. Rexburg. And I love it. And if I hadn't come here, my husband and I may have not had the chance to get married. So, whew! Thank you BYU-I-Do! :)
I love black. I have tons of black tops, shirts, sweaters, the majority of my furniture is black, etc. It's bad. I need to be more colorful.
I baked bread today.
I majored in math.
I like to add jam and dijon mustard to my grilled cheese sandwiches.
I love learning neat things about people. It almost always points out how small this world really is... :)
One of the jobs I have had was driving a support vehicle (fuel) for a helicopter.
I blogged! :)

I can't get enough crochet hooks or yarn.
My second toe(meeny), is a 1/2 inch longer than my big toe(Eeny).
I was always embarrassed by that fact and if I was at the beach with friends I kept my toes buried in the sand so no one would notice. It's a real topic of conversation when people notice and I would just prefer to not talk about it.
It can be useful though, I pick things up with my toes all the time sparing the bad back.
It's my mama's fault. It came from her side of the family and she calls them Padgett feet. She also says that who ever has the longest 'meeny' is the boss of the family. That is true. He may wear the pants in the family but I wash them so that makes me the boss.
Don't you just love this sharing of such personal stuff. Getting these things off my chest just feels so good and when we finally meet for the first time, you are going to be so sweet and not even mention my toes :)
Eeny, meeny, miny and moe!
Good Day!
