Blog Tag – 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me

Yes, I’ve been “tagged” by Michael Eager and Chris Sandberg to write the post 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me. To be honest with you, I don’t really like these pass along games. In fact, I can’t stand it when I get emails that try to make you feel guilty if you don’t pass them along. They’ll say something like “you better pass this email along or you will _______” or “if you pass this email along, you’ll earn $1M from Bill Gates” — I’m sure that you know what I’m talking about.

Anyway, for the sake of not being a poor sport, I will participate in the blog tag. That being said, I will not feel bad if the bloggers that I tag do not participate.

Here are the 5 things that you probably didn’t know about me:

  1. I ripped my front tooth out when I was eight years old: I was playing “dunk ball” on a lowered basketball hoopbrhead-small.jpg in my back yard and as I went up for a Michael-Jordan-like-dunk, my front tooth hooked the net and ripped out! (I can picture what you are doing right now… holding your mouth and saying aaaawwwwwoooooo!)
  2. I played Semi-Pro Soccer: The BYU Men’s Soccer team purchased a semi-pro franchise and is now competing in the Premier Development League. I started out my career as a forward and finished it off as a center-midfielder.
  3. I’m married with 1 boy and a little girl on the way: One of the most exciting news in 2006 — my wife and I are expecting #2!
  4. Lived 2 years in Uruguay: Served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was 2 of the most amazing years of my life. I love the people and miss them dearly.
  5. Never Seen The Wizard of Oz: To me, that’s not really that big of deal; but to everyone else, it has been shocking. I never saw the movie and never really had the desire. I suppose that I will see it one day with my children, but if don’t, oh well.
