Duck, Duck, GOOSE!!

Okay, I admit that this is not a game of Duck, Duck, Goose. It is tag. But if I would have titled my post that way then no one would have read it! I have been tagged by two different people with two different tags so I am just going to put them both in this post.

The first tag is from my friend Sarah. She sent this to me back in May and I promised her I would get on it as soon as I finished school—as we all know that took a few extra weeks and so here I am finally getting to it. The second is only from a few days ago (I’m trying to do better about keeping up) and is from my sis-in-law Amy.

Tag #1:
List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself.

3 Joys: This one is easy! 1)My sexy, hunky husband. 2)My cute and rambunctious children. 3)My home—I know that is soooo materialistic of me! But I love painting the walls and putting new furniture in it and hanging pictures on the wall and creating just the mood I want in it!

3 Fears: 1)Dave finding someone better than me—let’s face it, it wouldn’t be hard. 2)My children getting hurt. 3)Eternity! Don’t get me wrong. I love the fact that I am sealed for eternity to my hubby and kids, but when I actually sit down and contemplate how things will go on forever and ever and EVER and that there is no end to anything—It kind of freaks me out. My finite mind can’t quite grasp the concept.

3 Goals: 1)Lose weight 2)Be a better wife and mother. 3)Read my scriptures more often and with more fervor.

3 Current Obsessions: 1)The INTERNET—nasty thing eats up a day in the blink of an eye! 2)My husband—I’m trying to pay him more attention and make his life easier by being a better wife. 3)My Home—yes, there it is again. I am still trying to finish painting and decorating plus we still have to put up the molding in the basement. And don’t even get me started on the things that need to be done in the yard!!

3 Random Facts About Me: 1)I am an obsessive reader. So unless I have time to waste I can’t start a book because it will not be put down until I am finished. This includes missing meals and sleep in order to finish it. 2)I have lost all social skills. Once upon a time I was actually outgoing, but after marriage and children I have a hard time thinking about anyone other than my family. I know—jerky!! I need to work on that. 3)I have short, wide feet that my family all make fun of—they call them hobbit feet. At least they aren’t as hairy as Frodo’s!


Now on to tag #2:

4 random things I like about my husband:

I like his impersonation of a Chinese man that thinks Americans are stupid. It is so funny it will make you cry!!

I love how when we are getting ready for bed and I say “It’s your turn to say prayers” he will ALWAYS answer by saying “Prayers!” and then giggles. You would think that it would get old but it makes me laugh every time and I miss it when he is gone!

I love that he is so tall that when he hugs me tight his chin rests on the top of my head.

I love that his spare time—if he has any—is spent studying WW2 history.


4 movies that I would watch more than once:

Pride and Prejudice (long A&E version)

The Notebook

All of the Harry Potter Movies

Shakespeare in Love (the edited, non-rated R version)


4 tv shows I watch:

American Idol

The Biggest Loser

What I Like About You (Yes, I do know that I am a dork—luckily they have the reruns on ABC Family, so someone other than me must like it too!!)

Dancing with the Stars


4 places that I have been:

Chile

Spain

France

Morocco


4 people who e-mail me regularly: I correspond with most people via blogs and facebook now a days so emails from individuals are lacking. Here are some “groups” that I get emails from frequently.

Charlottesville Second Ward Relief Society

Great Wall Adoption Agency

LDS Living

FaceBook


4 favorite foods:

most things chocolate

Ruth’s Chris Steak (ahhh-too bad it is so expensive I can only have it every decade or so)

fresh bread

avocados (I swear I lived off these on my mission—mmmm, I need to go buy one now!!)


4 places that I would like to visit:

New York

China

Cancun

Europe (again but with Dave this time)


4 things that I am looking forward to in the coming year:

Finishing our house

Reading the Twilight series

Seeing some progress in our adoption of Langli

Getting in shape


As for the people that I tag…. The first tag says to tag 5 people and the second says 4. So I am just going to tag 4 people and they can choose which tag they want to do (or they can do both!!). Leah G., Holly G. , Logan M. and Shelley D. And if you don't get to it--don't worry, I won't be offended!!
