Well my darling friend Brittany (http://idahowhitegirl.blogspot.com/?spref=fb)
sent me this blog award! Thank you very much! Your very sweet! Along with the "award" comes a requirement to write 7 unknown things about me. since Jacob is part of this blog I will name seven things some people may not know about him too.
Leisa
1. I sleep in the same position every night, on my stomach, right leg bent up as far as it can go, left hand on my heart, and right hand on my stomach. I also cannot sleep if there is any noise or any light in the room, even a clock.
2. I used to take a lot of pain killers for my different pains every day, but now I try to use as many ways possible to not have to. For example I get terrible migraines and sinus headaches, but I have found if I take a bath and turn so that my head is under the faucet, and then turn the heat up as far as I can stand, the water continually beating on my forehead temporarily removes my pain. i turn the water hotter and hotter as I go and then when I stand up my head feels..well..the only way I can explain it that it feels similar to when you put your hand out the window as your driving and it feels tingly when you pull it back in. My head feels this way instead of the pain, and then it allows me to be able to fall asleep. When I wake up it's better! Try it! It really works!
3. I have always wanted to be in the Olympics, I just never had the confidence to back it up I guess, but I would have loved to be in the Olympics for swimming or running.
4. I really love and actually crave studying the scriptures and the Gospel. I could (and have) study it all day every day. I've studied Hebrew and translation of the Old testament, I love looking up words and where they came from, I love symbolism, and I love the peace and clarity I receive when I do.
5. I'm a girly girl at heart, if I had all the money in the world I would dress the part, but when your so tall your clothes are pretty limited.
6. I can be quite shy, I know, some may be surprised by this..some may not. I've always felt pretty awkward being so tall and very self conscious...I feel like a giant walking around. For that reason I really don't like being the center of attention. I've also been bitterly betrayed by several people in my lifetime, so I become very shy if I feel I'm being judged..or if that person is not a safe person to be around ( if they are hateful towards others). It's definitely something I'm working on.
7. I would love to be able to have lots and lots of children. ( Jacob won't let me use the word kid..it's a goat..I think that's funny..true..but funny) and then be the type of family that can financially afford to secretly help people in need, or take people in if they need it. I know Jacob feels the same way.
Jacob (from Leisa's perspective)
1. Wishes he had taken those college recruiters on when they came knocking at his basketball games in high school. Every once in awhile when he takes a shot he'll say, " If I make this I should have gone pro!" and then of course makes it. He still plays on Thursday nights and in his sleep ;)
2. Whenever he eats hot things he hiccups..I think it's really endearing.
3. Jacob can tell you what kind of car is coming his way day or night simply by looking at the headlights...he can usually tell you the year too.
4. Jacob has this way of calming any situation around him, from friends to people on the streets. He's just one of those people that others flock to because of his personality and influence.
5. He may not admit it outright, but the boy likes to cook. Grill of course..but he likes to put things together to see how they will come out..baking cooking..he likes to be around me when I cook and try something to add to dinner. I'm not sure if he has always liked to or just jumps in because I love it so much.
6. He has several crazy scars. He went through the windshield in a car accident several years ago and can still feel glass in his face to this day. The long one on his left side of his face is from when he was three and a neighborhood kid decided to "slit his throat" He said the cut wasn't very long or deep and didn't bleed much but the scar stretched and grew as he got older.
7. He picks up new things so quickly. His attention to detail amazes me too. It has enabled him to progress quickly in just about anything he tries.
