3 joys:
1. My family,There is nothing more precious to me than my sweetheart and my babies.I look forward to seeing my kids in the morning. They wake up with such happiness that it can only be contagious and put a smile on your face. Mike is so fun to be around, he is funny, though most may not see that side of him,he is silly with the kids and will sing goofy songs. I must brag for a minute too, because he is a clean man. He does the dishes and picks up after himself. It makes my life easier.
2. my mom and my sisters. If you don't know them , you are truly missing out.We are fun,we love sitting around and talking, laughing, and just being with eachother. We got to spend some time with eachother this past wek and itwas so fun to not have an agenda and just be around and watch movies ar 11:00 in the afternoon. We missed Alli but she was to close to her due to travel. I love them so much and they are all my best friend, my mom is a shinning example to me of how to pursavere and how to be a good woman, because that is what she is. My sisters are so beautiful and talented and I truly envy them and hope one day their goodness will rub off on me.
3.A clean house, I am not a clean freak, but I definately like a clean home. Life gets crazy, and when your house is at least picked up, then it helps make things more managable. Someone can come over and you don't have to worry about what your house looks like.

3 fears:
1.Often times I have really scary thoughts about how my kids might get hurt. We were standing on the pier on the beach and I thought to myself, if I were to drop Presley and she rolled under the rail and fell into the ocean, what would my plan be and how will I save her. It pains me to think of them getting hurt or dying,I don't want to go there.
2.Me dying and leaving Mike to have to figure out how to handle everything. This would be so difficult for him to try to work and find out what to do with the kids. It churns my stomach to think of some other woman replacing me and taking care of my babies. I would want him to get remarried, but it would be so hard. I will haunt the house to make sure she does everything right.
3.Loosing my husband,going through it first hand, I know how hard it would be and I don't want to feel that kind of pain. We have tried to prepare that in the event it did happen, I would be taken care of ,which gives me comfort, but I don't want to have to need it, ever.

3 goals
1. Loose weight, I want so badly to put on some jeans and feel good about myself.I want to know I look good and feel it.I did it once ,I know I can do it again, but with kids it all seems harder
2. I would one day love to run a marathon. I ran a 10k once and the feeling of accomplishment that I got was so incredible, I can only imagine what you would feel like after a marathon
3.I have had ideas of writing a childrens book. It seems fun and I have never done anything about it,but the idea of it sounds so exciting to me. I would love to make something special for my kids to have.

3 current obssesions/collections
1.I loveto watch HGTV, I love to get ideas from it and be inspired to try and do stuff in my house.
2.I am not obssesed, but Ihave found I really enjoy running, maybe I should become obsessed
3.This may sound strange, but I like to write with a good pen, my handwriitng looks so much better with a good pen, again not an obsession, but something I like

3 random facts
1. I am slightly OCD when it comes to certain things, I cannot have dishes in the sink, it drives me crazy and it makes me feel like my kitchen is a mess. I t dosen't bother me at other peoples house, just at my own. I can't get one hand wet and not the other. One wet hand seems weird.
2. I was born with some missing teeth,like 5 i think, So when I got braces the ortho had to pull all my teeth forward,leaving me with a space that I need to get implants in,but they are so expensive, Ive had my braces off for 10 years and still no implants, but I always wear my retainer so my teeth don't shift
3.My sister turned me on to yougurt and cottage cheese mixed together. It is so tastey and I think about it often. I am sure there are more facts that I can't think of right now. I love to talk so I am sure you have all heard my weirdness.

I tag,Lindsay, Niki, Alli, Shannon,and Tara
