Picture Tag

Ok, Mark here. Chandra tagged Stacy for this, but I am doing it. I have to confess though, that I cannot exactly follow the rules. The fourth picture in fourth folder is a picture that Bryanna took with the camera of Stacy, and let's just say it is not for ANYONE's eyes...except mine :-) So, I am doubling it. I am taking the eighth picture in the eighth folder.



This is a picture of the best cookies in the whole world. The sad thing about this picture, though, is that she made them for the choir that day, and DIDNT LEAVE ANY AT HOME FOR ME!!!

I tag Kaerlig and Annie...

You have the choice, either take the fourth photo in the fourth folder in your my pictures folder, or the eighth and eighth...depending on appropriateness

Tagged...

The rules:
1. List three items in each category
2. Tag three other people from whom you would like to hear
3. Get to know your friends and family

THREE FEARS:
I seem to be a very predictable person, especially to Mark so this may not surprise anyone!
1. Horror movies SCARE me to death...I actually think its part of my imagination, so that doesn't help when I hear noises in the middle of the night! Mark doesn't appreciate it when it does get the better of me and I wake him from his peaceful sleeping state! So I stay away from those movies.
2. Black Widow spiders...since moving to our new house, it was vacant for 6 months, and now I'm dealing with killing all the insects that invaded it. I have killed AT LEAST 7 Black Widow spiders...and I have lived to tell about it, a miracle!!
3. And of course, the most predictable, losing anyone in my family...Mark, my kids, my parents, sisters, grandparents...it would be unimaginably hard.

THREE JOYS:
1. Eating chocolate Hagan Daas ice cream with peanut butter chunks swirled into it...I know I shouldn't put this as the #1 joy, but it is so joyfully delicious!
2. Sleeping in after staying up late, sometimes Mark stays up with me too, and he doesn't always get to sleep in as late as I do (poor Mark!), but when I do get to sleep in, it fills my well almost to the tippy top!
3. Uninterrupted family time...i.e. VACATIONS! I love it when I have Mark all to myself for a period of time!

THREE OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS:
1. I have a rooster theme going in my kitchen, although it is not a very big collection, it IS a collection of which I need to expand upon!
2. Reality TV has become sort of an obsession...I watch episodes of these shows: American Idol, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, The Mole, I survived a Japanese Game Show, Dancing with the Stars, So you think you can dance, Wipe Out, America's Funniest Home Videos, Just for Laughs...there are probably more, but I just can't think of them right now. And don't worry, I don't watch them ALL, EVERY week...there are seasons ya know:). What really makes this obsession work is my handy dandy DVR...recording these shows and fast forwarding through commercials is the best way to watch tv these days!
3. I have to agree with Angie about her Dan obsession, although I'm not obsessed with Dan, it's MY husband, Mark, of whom I am rather obsessed with...in all good ways! Isn't that what helps make a good marriage? You have to be somewhat obsessed with each other to live together...forever is eternity!

THREE RANDOM FACTS:
1. Our backyard is coming along...and right at this moment, Mark is preparing to set our trampoline in the ground TODAY...pictures to come, I promise!
2. While I was at Utah State Univ. I took a Japanese class my freshman year. We had to take oral tests at my Sensei's office. So I arrived for a test and as I started to walk down the stairs, which were probably only 6 inches in width, my foot is NOT 6inches long, so you can guess the rest!! But for those of you who don't have quite the imagination, I slid down the stairs on my rump...and yes, I was wearing a SKIRT that day...just my luck, and to be even LUCKIER, there was a couple of fellow students at the bottom watching the WHOLE thing...Lucky me:) or should I say, lucky them...they might have gotten a peek of my unmentionables!!
3. Mark was sleep walking last night...it creeped me out because he JUMPED out of bed, around 1am last night, throwing the covers on me and then walked into the closet. I said, "Mark, what are you doing? Mark, where are you?" Then we walks back over the bed, climbs in and said, "I was dreaming of making a movie." Huh? Ok honey, just go back to bed!! Random, I know!

THREE GOALS:
1. Don't make a fool of myself while leading the Priesthood Choir in Sacrament this Sunday, I feel silly waving my arms around as I "direct" them in song! For those of you who have never directed a Choir, but like to sing in them...they are TWO VERY different things!
2. Now that I'm in the Music department of my ward, so to speak, it makes me think about talents, and which ones I would like to pursue more. One is playing the piano more often. I thought about trying to keep up my japanese somehow, but I don't have a plan yet. The piano seems a little more realistic, since I have a piano and don't have any japanese friends nearby...I guess I could make a goal on figuring out a plan for my Nihongo...(japanese for japanese)
3. Doing FHE every monday night...Mark and Bryanna (you could count Maddox too) LOVE it when I plan something...small or big, it is fun to do for EVERYONE.

I tag Heidi, Chandra and Kaerlig.

Then on the last one, he gave me a "friendship ring" and I asked him what finger I should wear it on, and he told me what ever one I wanted. I said thanks, gave him a hug, and thought there has to be more than just this tin ring in his bag of tricks! Then pulled out the engagement ring, got on his knee and proposed!! We danced in the street for a while as I cried and we kissed...then came back to my house and woke my parents up to show the ring:)

24. His best features? I'll keep this G rated hee hee...His smile, hugs, blue eyes, and his sense of humor!

I've been tagged!

10 years ago...

I was finishing up my freshman year in college (USU), running 5 miles everyday, and having lots of fun living in the dorms. I was the Ward Prayer Leader and we gathered as a ward every Sunday night and did lots of fun thing to get to know each other better. We did spotlights on our roommates and had musical numbers and had treats and flirted with the boys who were preparing to leave on their missions...Oh the life of a college student!!!

Snacks I enjoy

1) Cookies from Sam's Club (don't buy them, cause they are addicting!)
2) Fresh Peach pie from Marie Calendar's
3) Costco Vanilla Ice Cream with hot Peach Cobbler
4) perfectly ripe fruit (strawberries, mangoes, oranges, pineapple, papaya, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums and the list goes on!)

5 things on my TO DO list:

1) Get a yummy dinner in the oven b/c missionaries are coming over tonight
2) Tidy up the house
3) Go shopping
4) Read the Book of Mormon (Mark and I made a bet, if he catches up to me in two weeks, I owe him a massage! So I've gotta read!!!)
5) Get ready for the day (yes, I'm still in my robe and its 10am)

What I would do if I became a Billionaire

Invest half of it in Dubai. Retire ourselves, and then retire my parents and Mark's dad! Give some to the church and other charities that need help. Travel the world. Build our dream house, then hire help for around the house. Go shopping without a budget! Buy a brand new car off the lot, one for me, one for Mark! This might be too much money...the possibilities are endless!

3 Bad Habits

1) Groom Mark more than he likes!
2) Procrastinate...I take my time when I shouldn't
3) Blog WAY TOO MUCH!

5 Places I have lived

1) Las Vegas, NV
2) Sapporo, Japan
3) Logan, UT
4) MTC, Provo (for 10 weeks!)
5)

5 Jobs I have had

1) Runner for a communications firm
2) Victoria's Secret Sales Associate, I worked in their Makeup Department
3) Lifeguard
4) Swim Instructor
5) Chiropractic Assistant

Things people don't know about me

I'm a really deep thinker...I analyze everything! I'm a native Las Vegan. I got certified in Scuba Diving, though I haven't done any cool dives. I get stressed a little too easily, esp when my kids are misbehaving. I actually like doing the laundry and love cleaning the house.

I tag Amanda, Kara, Chandra and Stacie Hawley!
