Tag-a-thon

So my sister Jennifer tagged me. I actually like the tag things because it gives me some ideas of things to blog about that I probably normally would not. So here we go!

joys:

1. I am going to have to echo my cousin Cortney on this one. Sitting in the bathtub with a good book. In fact, here is a secret for you. Last week, we went to mow the lawn at Che's and while Devin was hard at work, I was sitting in the bathtub the whole time. Ha ha ha.

2. Spending time with my husband. It doesn't matter what we are doing, I just love being with him.

3. Working. I love putting in a good day's work. There is just something so satisfying about it. Especially when I feel like I am making a difference in someone's life (which isn't that often, but still...)

fears:

1. After the hard year that our family has had, I am going to have to go with losing family members as well.

2. I fear that I will be a horrible parent or that something terrible will go wrong with my children.

3. I also fear rodents of all sorts. Nasty, icky. Oh yeah, and I will add worms and snakes to the list too.

Goals:

1. Become a good parent. See above. I want to love my children, yet teach them the value of hard work and the joy of earning what they have.

2. Continually work on my marriage and proudly say that I have succeeded when all is said and done.

3. Serve a mission some day. Some of you may not know this, but I was fairly certain I was going to go on a mission before Devin came home, but apparently my bishop knew otherwise. I went in to see him to get mission papers about six months before Devin came home and he told me that I needed to go pray about it some more. Well, good thing I did, because I came to the answer that then was not the right time. I wonder why... :)

Current Obsessions:

1. SNO CONES, SNO CONES, SNO CONES. I am currently on the lookout for the best sno cones in Provo. Sad to say, they just don't make them like they do in Idaho. Good old Idaho.

2. The show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" On TLC. Don't ask me why, I just can't get enough. In case you don't know, its a show about a family who have a set of twins and then a set of sextuplets. The sextuplets (thats six) are almost 4 and the twins are 7. It is very entertaining.

3. Free Cell. What a gem of a game. In my down time, I find myself playing Free Cell like crazy.

4. I am going to add grocery shopping to this list, simply because I cannot get enough of it.

Random, Surprising Facts:

1. I out-eat Devin. (that's for when I am not pregnant too). It's sickening.

2. I know more about baseball than most guys, particularly the Atlanta Braves. I was at work one day and two male staff found out that I knew a little something about the Braves, so they challenged me to a contest to see who could name more Braves players from any time. I beat them both.

3. When we were little, my siblings and I, along with the neighbors, were quite creative. Some of things we played/invented were the human board game, jump rope concerts, mud pits in the dirt with a hose for a slide, selling the neighbors painted rocks that we had gotten out of their own yard, dances to the Beach Boys, making our own plays complete with sets made out of cardboard, and imitating the Folk Dancers who came to Rexburg every year, costumes and all. Where have those creative genes gone?

Here is a pregnancy picture for good measure, since posts are often times boring without pictures. This is 19 weeks.

I tag uhhh...Nataley I., Haylee, and Emily! Have at it.
