3 Joys:
1. My husband. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary in March, which makes me feel really old. Anyway, everything good that has happened in my life since then is a result of the decision that I made as a stupid headstrong teenager. Dave is working so hard right now at FedEx, shooting weddings on Saturdays, graduate school, and finding time for our family in between. Love ya, babe.
2. My kids. They are also my greatest challenge. They teach me something every day. They make me laugh, cry, and occasionally want to pull my hair out. I can't imagine life without them.
3. The Gospel of Jesus Christ. It brings me peace that I can find nowhere else. One of my favorite scriptures:
"I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things." Alma 26:11-12
3 Fears:
1. I think I have already posted that I am terrified of sharks. Even in the swimming pool. Yes, I know it's illogical.
2. Speaking in Public. Teaching a lesson in Relief Society causes near panic attacks.
3. Scary movies. No thanks.
3 Goals
1. Keeping my priorities in check. Spending time on the things that matter most. Elder Scott: "Are we filling our life so full of "good" things, that there is no time for the essential ones?"
2. Someday I would like to go back to school.
3. Exercise and eat better. I joined "Curves" and try to get there when I can. I am hoping to have more time for it when school starts again.
3 Current Obsessions/Collections
1. I currently obsess over keeping the house clean. (Ha, ha, that was a good one.)
2. The Twilight Series! I too was one of the cynics. A friend recommended I choose it for Book Club. I was like, "A teenage vampire book?? Really?" I chose not to. A few weeks later another friend loaned me the first book in the series. Five days later, I was finished with all three (around 1200 pages) and had preordered the fourth. I am thinking about dressing up and going to the midnight release party. I am counting down till the movie release in December. I heart Edward.
3. I am in the process of "collecting" all of the Enchanted Nursery Disney Princesses for Callie's birthday next month. I racked up at Target today.
3 Random/Surprising Facts
1. I have had 10 sinus surgeries. The last one was about 18 months ago. I once had a doctor look in my nose and tell me it looked like someone had run a lawnmower up there. Don't be J.
2. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a writer when I grew up.
3. I will not eat seafood. I detest it, including the smell. It used to be that Dave couldn't order it in a restaurant and expect to sit at my table. I have learned to deal with it. I just breathe through my mouth for the remainder of the meal.

You are now a writer on your blog, so that dream sort of came true. It was fun to read about you. Thanks for playing.
Yay for Dave!
You're truly scared of public speaking? I would never know.
You cannot get me to read Twilight. (although my mom thinks I will eventually give in like Harry Potter...but in my defense, I didn't surrender for about 8 years)
I'm not J.
You know you miss my tilapia.
