3 Joys:
My children - their laughter, their successes, their personalities, almost everything about them (aside from their naughtiness)
Good food - which is harder to come by now that I am pregnant.
The changing of seasons - I think I am happiest when summer turns to fall. It makes me want to bake and decorate and gather my family together.
3 Fears:
Losing one of my children in some way - being kidnapped, killed, contracting a life threatening illness.
Dying - I am not so afraid of death, but the thought of how I will die freaks me out a bit.
Deep water. The ocean freaks me right out. Who know what kinds of things are lurking underneath there?
3 Goals :
To be a better mom - enjoy the little things and not get so worked up about the things that in the end don't matter. And to appreciate my children more.
To become a "Sister Scriptorian". As cheesy as that may sound, I went to a young women's open house and was amazed at the General Young Women's Presidency and their testimonies. They talked a lot about having a greater knowledge of the scriptures and how that can help with any aspect our our lives. Understanding scripture is sometimes a major challenge for me and I would love for it to come more naturally.
To be more thoughtful. I want to be the person that is always thinking of others and doing things for them without them having to ask. I want to be the answer to other peoples prayers - heaven knows how many of mine have been answered that way.
3 Current obsessions
Garden fresh tomatoes with basil, mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I haven't had cravings with my other pregnancies, but I am ready to beg, borrow and steal any tomatoes I can get my hands on.
Scrapbooking - I just never get to do it anymore.
Reading recipes. Any free moment I have, I like to sit down and pour through my Taste of Home magazines (past and present issues) and my recipe books. I know, more than a little weird.
3 Surprising/random facts
I don't like any sort of powdered drink and very few fruit juices.
I can't survive on small amounts of sleep - I am meaner than mean when I get woken up at night.
I have some very realistic hallucinations at night, it usually scares the ever loving out of Drew.
Now I am going to tag Jen Hanson, Amy Wight and Sarah Barrus. Enjoy!
