Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I am learning to seriously hate Wyoming winters! I used to love them until I was confined to a house because of them! A tropical beach is sounding really good to me right now!

2. I never knew that having children would become such a learning experience!!! I used to think it was just supposed to be fun and games- boy was I naive! Now that I haven children I have come to understand that I could never be the person I wanted to be without them- they are the greatest blessing in my life!

3. Andy always says that he wishes everyone could know the 'real' me! Ha! I tell him he's the only lucky one who ever will :)

4. I have always been really shy, hence #3. My parents used to pay me a quarter every time I talked to someone. That didn't last too long :)

5. I always wish that I could be a better mom. I lay awake at night and think about everything I did wrong in parenting that day and it just eats at me! I know that no one can be a perfect parent, but at night time guilt just lays down on me like a 1000 pound elephant! I hate it!

6. I wish I was in better shape. I really miss my high school days when I was able to do any sport at any time without any hold-backs! Now I feel lucky if I can get a half hour of exercise in a day!


7. Family is the absolute best thing in my life. If you ask me what makes me happy, my answer is family. I love my family more than anything!! :)

8. I love to be outside!!!! I can't wait to start work on my yard again this summer and to start a garden. And go for hikes in the mountains, go fishing in the mountains and on lakes, go camping, jump on the trampoline with the girls, go for picnics.....I love it outside!

9. I love being married to Andy. I love to think of how much we have grown both in, and from our relationship.

10. I have so much scrapbooking stuff that I wish I had something to show for it!

11. I believe that if you put others first, that is how you will find true happiness.

12. I love to look at the stars!!! One of my most favorite things to do in the summer time is to go outside late at night when the starts are close and just gaze at the stars!

13. I love to look at house plan magazines/books. When I'm doing this I picture how each house would look on the inside and out, and I just love it!

14. Traveling has always been one of my favorite things to do! I don't care if its going to a place that I've been to a million times, I just like to go. I would love to see many different places in the world!

15. I want horses terribly! I used to love going for horse rides with my dad and I want to ride horses again with Andy, but he's allergic so we can't :(

16. Being a nurse in neonatal care has always been one of my biggest dreams. I will get there one day when the time is right.

17. I want to start running marathons in mounainous areas. And I will!

18. I am very cautious of others feelings. I hate to see others sad or upset so I do everything I can to not make them feel that way.

19. Thinking back to second grade.......my mom use to make me outfits to wear to school, and I'm sure they were cute, but there was this one she made that I thought looked like a clown costume. She made me wear it on picture day and I hated it! I think I was frowning in the picture.

20. I always wish I had more patience! Isn't that what kids are supposed to teach us?!

21. Arrogant and conceded people bother me more than anything. I don't think anyone is better than anyone else and it really ticks me off when people think they are!

22. I believe that everything that happens is supposed to happen, or happens for a reason. I just wish I knew the reasoning behind some of those things!

23. When I get mad I clean. I think my husband makes me mad on purpose sometimes! :)

24. I love to look at cookbooks but I hate to cook!

25. I love to sing. If you walk in my house without me knowing, then you would hear me singing. I wish I liked to sing in front of people, but I get too nervous. I wake up every morning with a random song in my head (thanks Mom!) and until I think of another one to sing I can't stop singing it!
