OK-My cute Jessica tagged me again. I am supposed to say six things you might not know about me. It is sad because everyone knows everything about me-because I tell all. (Unless Dennis has forbidden me to talk about it and my life is threatened by him)
1. I am painfully shy. Most people do not believe this, but it is true. I just force myself to do the things that make me uncomfortable. 2. I might complain about working too hard, but I like to work. I work or exercise to relieve stress or anger. If you see me working really really hard, I am usually really angry. 3. I like to sleep a lot, but only at night. I really like to get up early in the morning. I do not like to lose a minute of day light. I like all the blinds open. I do not like dark at all. 4. I am scared of the dark. I have night terrors. Mostly I think spiders getting on me. 5. I do not like board games because I am not very competitive when it comes to games. 6. I am really competitive when I am taking a school class and it comes to grades. It is kind of crazy but every test is a competition. 7. BYU basketball makes me bight my fingernails.

OK--I better blog about turning 60, which I experienced a couple of days ago. Here is a list of the good things about turning 60.
1. Everyone is really nice to you. (I hope it is not because they feel sorry for you)
2. People joke a lot about how old you are and it is fun.
3. Your mother in law (who is an angel) tells you that you are perfect.
4. By the time you are 60 your life is full of wonderful people. Family, Kids, Grand kids,
and lifetime friends. If you are really really lucky you might still have a parent or two hanging around.
5. You might get taken to dinner a lot.
6. You are still young enough to accomplish important goals, and old enough to not get too upset if you don't get them done.
7. You do not feel 60.
8. You quit worrying so much about your body, and you exercise to feel better, not to look better. It takes quite a bit of pressure off.
9. If your husband gives you workout shoes it is a compliment rather than an insult.
10. You are glad you made it this far. and you are thankful for the blessings of a good life and good family.
11. You love people more, you appreciate them more, and each moment is pleasure.
12. You can look back at some of your trials with gratitude, understanding they are the thread that has made you who you are.
13. You are thankful everyday for the wonderful kids you have, their spouses and there children.
14. You are glad that you have a spouse!

This is our family picture of our river trip on the Salmon this summer. It is about the most fun I have had in a long time. If was filled with friends and family. Hot days with white sandy beaches, clear blue sky, and fun, fun, whitewater rapids. The best were my cute grand kids that were old enough to go. I hope I never get too old to go on the river. I want to go with all my grand kids some day.

This is Eliza and Kiya. They rode everyday like this. We pulled them inside the boat for the big rapids, but on all the little rapids they rode and screamed everytime they got splashed. It was a lot.
I especially wished while we were on this trip that my Dad could have seen his Great Grand kids enjoying the river. (Maybe he did see them)
