Holly's Many Answers and Updates

Okay, so I have fallen way behind with answering the questions of the week, and I want to catch up, but first of all I will post a picture of my belly for Lori.

Not a great picture, but whatever.

The talents/skills that I have are mostly the same as all of you. I am not afraid to try and fix anything myself (except for the microwave). I think I have the least amount of skill in sewing of anyone else in our family, but I can still do it, unlike most of the roommates I ever had. I do appreciate Mom teaching us all that very useful skill. Gardening is another thing that comes to mind. I love to see things grow!

As for smells, there is only one that I love that I don't think anyone mentioned, and that is Home Depot. I love walking in the lumber section just to smell the freshly cut wood.

I never had any pets of my own when I was a kid. I shared the bunny with Heidi and Matt, but that's about it. We certainly never had a shortage of animals in our house!

There were a lot of teachers and classes that had a big impact in my life. I will always be grateful to Miss Maykowski for teaching me music theory and sight reading. I see now how lucky we were to be able to learn that skill. There are VERY few people in this world who can sight read! I took a class at Ricks on the fundamentals of scripture study that was amazing. I got a C in that class because it was so challenging, but I still remember the great lessons I learned.

As for Saturday activities when I was a child, I really don't know. All I remember is Mom or Dad waking us up to do our chores and weed 2 rows of the garden. I loved playing soccer or catch in the back yard, and I loved going on picnics to Garden of the Gods. I think that's it!

Nothing is really new here. I have 6 more weeks or so until I deliver, and I'm getting excited to see what this one looks like. Shannon is going to love having a sister!
