10 Things You Might Not Know About Me


This is my first official entry into the world of blogging. I was tagged by "Chambo", a member of our Bishopric, so I figure I better do what he says. I hope he knows that fulfilling a tag removes my name from the "to-speak-in-church" list for the next few years!! So here goes...

1. Only girl I have kissed is my wife. Oh, and Heather's Grandma Norma.

2. I was stupid enough to ask Heather's dad permission to marry her on a hunting trip, with nothing in between us but his gun...I didn't think that one through.

3. I am a graduate of Brigham Young University. Take that Miss. Greaves.


4. I hate to watch the news, but love to read US Weekly! I find it is a great way to stay informed on the most important current events.


5. Since February of this year I have logged enough miles on my Trek 2200 to have biked from American Fork to Washington D.C.

6. In 1994 I made it to the 5A State Finals in the 100 meter, 200 meter, medley relay, and 4x100 meter relay for the Orem High track team. Go Tigers!! Now look at me...

7. I enjoy crying through a movie more than the popcorn. I have to usually beg Heather to go to a chick flick with me. Hopefully this is enough information to get an invite to the next neighborhood "girls night out".

8. During my senior year of high school, I had an unfortunate incident at Lavell Edwards Stadium. My 30 friends and I were in the middle of a "tribute to the BYU Cougars" using fireworks when the BYU police department showed up and started hand cuffing our pyro-technicians who (I thought...) were doing a fantastic job. Fortunately, they didn't see me running out the south end of the stadium. All of those hours of track training did come in handy. Uumm...that was a close call...

9. I played arena football for about one month. That wasn't a good idea either.

10. My hobbies include (and I have the gear to prove it): climbing, showshoeing, hiking, camping, roller blading, skiing, golfing, basketball, triathalon, swimming, running, 4 wheeling, shotgun shooting, hunting, pistol shooting, crafting ;), fishing, football, boxing, volleyball, weight lifting, singing with my family, harmonizing songs, and my favorite... drum roll please... CYCLING!! And, of course, spending time with my girls!


Now, so I can feel like a real blogger...I tag Chris S., Greg G., Tom P., Mike T. and Erik, Kirk, Cam and Shane. Now, let's see if any of you will do it.

Nice job Ky!!! I didn't know about number 8, that is kind of fun!!!! Hey well I am in Hawaii and having lots of fun. I am in the hotel with dad right now, just sitting on the bed relaxing a bit. I miss you guys already, but it still feels like a dream. I know that once dad leaves that I will have it all feel real. I will realize that I really am in Hawaii and on my own. I love you lots. Talk to you later.

You are a real blogger now! This was so funny. We are so lucky that you and all your hobbies are in our family. We freakin' love you! I can't wait to show this to Mikey-hopefully he will step up. He is pretty competitive!

Dani said...

What a great read Kyle! Thanks for sharing. I don't know about Kirk joining in, but I'll try!

Atta kid Kyle. Way to represent the male world in the world of blogging and may I also say, nice work on getting out of the south endzone at cougar stadium. I wish I would have had the same luck back in the day.

Is number 1 really true? I'm so impressed!!! Way to go!!! I enjoyed reading your list - and the pictures are priceless (all of them!). I just broke the news to Chris that he's been tagged, but he's denying it. I'll be working on him...

Nessie said...

Oh my goodness... You are one amazing dude!! I can see that you abound with pretty sweet talents, but you might need to include me on the 4 wheeling one.... You have baffled me, and I found everything so interesting! Good job, and keep up the good work!! oh, and let your wife know that I tagged her, apparently she is avoiding it. :D

Classic! I've got to hand it to you - very impressive indeed! I heard some buzz about the new male member of the "girls-night-out club" and couldn't figure out who it was until now! BTW - calling out a bunch of dudes on the tag, you've got backbone!!!

Melissa said...

What a fun read! Good for you to do this. Your kids will enjoy reading this in years to come. Now if I could only get Greg to fulfill his blogging duties! :)

I love all this about you Kyle. I will never forget the ride home from the MTC... #7 is soooo true!!! I'm so glad I get to be in the Adams family, I'm really so blessed. I'll try to get Shane to do it, but no promises!!!
