I am a Mormon...married to Lisa. We have 5 awesome children. I am a gun rights advocate and believe the 'right to keep and bear arms' refers to an INDIVIDUAL right, as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. I like to hunt big game, although I have only ever killed a single buck deer. I am an actor of sorts and have been in many local plays and musicals.

    So..I love all your answers to your tag, very funny! Doug just took his concealed weapon course and put in his application, so most likely for Christmas he will get a gun. Can you recommend one? That won't cost us alot? Also I would like my spinklers and yard torn up and started from scratch too...but don't tell Doug cuz he was the one who put it in. :)

    Surely...but that will have to take place in an actual conversation. Too many variables to cover in a single blog comment! I'll get your number from your mom and give a call soon.

    That yard thing is very high on my wish list. The original owner planted the most messy trees and whichever owner planted the ivy should be strung up by it. I can barely get all the house work done, so the yard is last on my to do's. Why does it have to be so expensive? I would love to have the outside match what I have done on the inside. My advice to anyone planting trees, NEVER plant Locus trees or Walnut trees!! My neighbors curse me every year when the leaves fall because those horrible pods blow into every neighbors yard. Not the easiest thing to clean up, and the leaves are tiny so mowing and raking rarely work.

    Don't get all gun nutz on me but seriously, how many people are you planning to kill with 10 YEARS of ammunition?! You know all your bullets are just going to burn up during the second coming.

Which Intelligence?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofintelligencedoyouhavequiz/

My results: Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
