want to know me better?

well...i was tagged or something a long time ago by my sister to write down 25 random facts about myself. (i think thats what it was) so i decided to let you guys get to know the real Kate Hawkley...
1) I got i a really bad car accident 2 summers ago. I was driving on the freeway after work heading for the spectrum, driving my grandparents oldsmobile minding my own business, when all of the sudden this blue sports car cuts me off. I slammed on my brakes, spun around 3 times, hit an old man behind me, hit a pole and flew off the side of the 5 freeway onto the EL Toro onramp…should have had some serious injuries, but was able to drive away from it without a scratch. MIRACLE
2) i dont like feet...but im getting better
3) Whenever I take roadtrips by myself I sing out loud the whole time so that I stay awake…one time I was driving home from Idaho (14 hours straight) and lost my voice by the time I made it home
4) All of my embarrassing moments have to do with falling, but this one is my favorite. One day in Idaho I was scapping off my car, which is an everyday event in Idaho and it was after class, I was parked in the front row right by the taylor. While I was scrapping I fell and a bunch of people were walking around at that time and I didn’t want them to see me, so for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to just slide under my car and wait for the crowd to pass. But, of course some good mormon boy saw me and came over and said, “um, excuse me, do you need help?” It was really embarrassing, but funny now that I think about it.
5) I loved high school!! Everything about it, sometimes I wish that I could replay certain days.
6) When I was in first grade I remember there was this thing called scholastic books, it was a magazine were you would order books. I always wanted to get stuff from it, by I never really did. But I remember there was this one boy who went to Europe for like a week and he bought a bunch of books and they were sitting in his cubby forever and so I just took them. And never told anyone. When he finally came back he was crying cause he wanted his books, but I never told him…I feel really bad about it now! Oops..
7) I hate people who you know know you but they pretend like they don’t and just walk by you without saying hello.
8) my mom told me that when I was little and we would go to stores I would just sit in the stroller and say hello to anyone and everyone.
9) When im not thinking about anything I count my steps and give myself goals when walking…example “take five steps to the tree…etc”
10) I once dyed my hair dark brown and immediately regretted the decision right when I did it. My hair will never be the same. Nobody recognized me, I even heard some girls talking about me in the library one day and I was sitting right next to them…luckily they were saying something nice
11) Anything outdoors makes me happy. I cant spend too much time inside
12) when im driving and a good song is on the radio and I have already reached my destination. Ill sit in my car and wait until its over.
13) I have only gotten 1 detention, 2 lunch detentions and 1 Saturday school. I got the Saturday school because me and two of my girlfriends ditched school and walked to the Laguna Hills mall and spent all day there. We thought we got away with it, but turns out we didn’t.
14) i think its so funny when i see people on bikes or just walking around and they are singing to themselves
15) sometimes when im driving i have this urge to run into things (i'll never do it!!)
16) I have had about 9 perms in my lifetime
17) i love to cuddle!!!
18) i love to run. i ran a marathon once. 26.4 miles...and plan on doing more. also Pehrson and i want to attempt a triathalon this summer.
19) when i was younger my mom said that she would come into my room and i would just be staring at myself in the mirror...for hours...
20) i once got frost bite on my toes in idaho. well, it was the "first stages" but still my toes looked like frozen chicken and felt like it too.
21) my dad said that if there was a major for socializing i would get a 5.0 because i love meeting new people
22) i spoke at my high school graduation with one of my best friends, tyler gardner
23) i got 100% attendance all 4 years of seminary just like my siblings, im NOT saying this to brag i just can't believe i got up that early every morning.
24) i was a cheerleader for byu-idaho my freshmen year, and thought it was one of the funniest things i've ever done. we cheered, in uniforms, for intermural games and some of the girls were SO hardcore about it.
25) i LOVE being in LOVE!!!! marriage is the best thing ever!!

man...that was really fun! i could probably do another 25, but i don't want to bore you guys. haha hope you enjoy. I'm not gonna tag anyone in particular, but if you want to do it, i think you should!

Lieutenant Hawkley

So, most of you know Pehrson got into dental school at USC (University of Southern California) we are really excited to start dental school and live in california. As you also may know, dental school is VERY VERY expensive. On average dental students come out of school $200,000 to $300,000 in debt. Which is crazy to me, but happens ALL the time. So, luckily my husband is a genius and found out that there are scholarships that you can get through the air force. His dad was in the air force, my grandpa was in the air force, there are a lot of good benefits and great people that come out of there. Good news, they pay for all of dental school give you a little money to live off each month and when you are done with school you have to go work as a dentist on the air force base. So, 4 years of school=4 years in the air force. Then you are free to go open you own practice. Sounds smart to me. NO DEBT!!! that will be awesome!

And today is the day that Pehrson gets commissioned into the air force. We are going down to the Hickham Air Force Base in honolulu and they are doing like a big ceremony for him. He is a little nervous to join the air force, but we both feel like it is going to be a huge blessing for us and our future family. His title today will be Lieutenant Hawkley! =]

So Proud of my MAN!!!
