Challenge #3--Always Something There to Remind Me...

Challenge #3--Always Something There to Remind Me...

A fill in the blank challenge this week: Whenever I ________, I ________.

Whenever I walk through the front entrance of Disneyland and make my way onto Main Street, I get teary eyed.  Okay, maybe I actually cry.  I just love Disneyland so much and get so excited.  It is a completely different place.  I mean, where else can grown ups wear cartooned-out shirts and a big Goofy hat without ridicule?


Since I'm a creature of habit, whenever I go to Baskin Robbins, I ALWAYS order a single scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.  Also, whenever I go to the Training Table, I ALWAYS order the #24 turkey sandwich.  I'm afraid that if I deviate from what I know I like, I might get something I hate and then I would just be wishing I ordered the usual.  


Whenever I hear a fire engine drive by our house, I remember when Abbi was little and she would freak out when she heard the sirens.  She could be completely asleep for her nap and as soon as the sirens came around the corner, it would wake her up and she would come running to find me.


Whenever "You've Got Mail" or "Sweet Home Alabama" is on tv, I always have to watch it; even if I have seen it a hundred times.


Whenever I sit in the chapel of the Oquirhh Mountain Temple, I remember the time I was there for the dedication with Adam and we met Pres. Monson.  He shook Adam's hand, talked with him and gave him a hug.  It was an experience I will never forget!


Whenever I see someone fall, I laugh.  I can't help it... it is an automatic instinct.  It's not that I think it is funny, It is automatic.  I can't help it!


Whenever my kids are happily playing with each other, I smile.  It makes me happy to know they are getting along; even if the moments are brief.


Whenever there is laundry to be done, I make piles in the bedrooms and then bring up each load one at a time.  Aaron on the other hand, likes to pile all the laundry at once in the laundry room.  Drives me crazy!


Whenever I see the trees blossoming in the springtime, I always sing "Popcorn Popping" in my head.


Whenever I drive by Salt Lake Community College's campus on 3900 S., I remember the feelings of morning sickness I had with Adam.  Aaron and I were taking a Business communications class together when I was first pregnant and I remember being so sick while sitting in class.  Sometimes I would leave and go sit in the car with the windows down.


Whenever Aaron is out of town, I have a hard time sleeping in our bed alone.  So, I stay up way too late watching late night television and infomercials.  The ShamWow! is pretty amazing!
