A - Age: 23
B - Bed size: Queen
C - Chore you hate: Laundry. It's never ending and I only have my clothes to do.
D - Dog(s) name: Bailey.
E - Essential start your day item: I like to wake up somewhat earlier than I need to (I know everyone finds me crazy) so I can take my time being able to check my email and sometimes check read the newspaper online. I cannot walk out the door without talking to Matt first.
F - Favorite color: Blue
G - Gold or Silver: Tough. I go back and forth depending on my outfit. My favorite piece of jewelry right now is a gold heart necklace Matt gave me for Valentine's Day. However, I like silver rings and earrings.
H - Height: 5'6 and 3/4 according to the doctor in high school. I was so bummed. I wanted to hit that 5'7 mark.
I - Instrument: Oh if only. I took a piano class in college, but as with mastering all worthwhile pursuits one needs to practice. I did not keep up on it. :(
J - Job title: 5th Grade Teacher!!!!!! Well, not officially until the 19th of this month. I've been hired now I just have to wait for the school board to approve it on that day. The superintendent assures me there will be no problem. For now I'm still a student teacher and substitute.
K - Kid(s): Can't wait to meet them! :)
L - Living arrangements: I live with my roommates Angela and Ashley in our house in Moraga. I'm going to miss it when I move. Right now I'm in the process of locating a rental in Alturas. I'm starting to think I may need to place figured out soon so I can start moving in June, because July is going to be such a crazy month working on my thesis. Oh boy, so much to think about, but I'm excited!!!!!!
M - Mom's name: Kim Ann (Phillips) Bridwell - She's so fabulous! Oh and now I have another mom (Matt's mom) also. Her name is Carolyn too!
N - Nicknames: Care Bear, Care, Sunshine, Beautiful, Sweetheart
O - Overnight hospital stay other than birth of child: Haven't had one.
P - Pet Peeve: I have to agree with Sami, lieing is difficult for me to swallow. Be Honest is definitely going to be one of my classroom expectations, because it really breaks my heart when one of my students lie.
Q - Quotes you like:
"You have what I like to call high class problems." - President Criddle. My stake president, at the time bishop, told me this once when I went to him overwhelmed with big life stresses that I thought would lead to the end of the world if I did not choose wisely. Him saying this really had an impact on me. I realized for the first time how incredibly fortunate I am to have the stresses I have in my life. Not everyone gets the opportunity to stress about what college major to choose or what city to live in to because they never get the luxury of having options. In college I posted this quote above my door to remind myself of this everyday. It changed forever changed my prospective.
"The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference." - Prof. James Temple. So you may think it's harsh that I put this up here, but I think it can be valuable quote to remember. I remember Prof. Temple using this in a lecture and being like wait what did he just say. I had to take a moment to process. Now it makes complete sense. It reminds me how determental indifference can be. It's taught me that not putting in the effort or not caring to get to know someone or be there for them causes more damage than I was ever aware of.

I am WITH you on the waking up early part - I love getting up early so I can start my day by relaxing a little bit instead of running around, stressing out that I'll be late.
By the way, you're adorable.
Carolyn...I just love you! =)
