I've Been Tagged

So my friend Heather tagged me a week ago, so here it goes.

How To Play This Game of Tag: Post these rules on your blog... List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog!

JOYS

1. My sweet husband. He takes such good care of me and has made me laugh every single day that I've known him. He works so very hard every day. I love him so much.

2. My family. I am definitely a family person. I love hanging out with my family and TG's family. The best memories I have are with family. I hate it when visiting family have to go back home. I wish that all our family lived in Utah, so I could be with them more.

3. The gospel. I can't imagine how different my life would be without the gospel. I know that without the gospel I would not be where I am today. The gospel constantly brings joy into my life and I am truly grateful for it. I would be lost without it.


FEARS

1. Something bad happening to someone that I love.

2. Drowning. I've always had a fear of drowning, so that's why I freak out when people try to dunk me in a pool. People think they are doing something playful until they see my reaction. TG knows he is not allowed to even pretend that he is going to dunk me and he's never tried.

3. Not being well-prepared for a disaster. I need to be better at getting my food storage together and then maybe this wouldn't be one of my fears.


GOALS

1. Learn how to sew. I first need to get a sewing machine. I've always admired people who could sew and I really think I would enjoy it.

2. Recycle. I want to be better at recycling. I feel that I throw away so many things that could be recycled. Plus, I am the queen of throwing things away because I HATE junk, so I know that if I start recycling it would definitely benefit our earth.

3. Getting a Master's degree and eventually a Ph.D. This has always been a goal of mine that I hope to accomplish one day.


CURRENT OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS

1. Making sure that the lights are off in the rooms that TG and I are not in. I've just been more aware of how much energy TG and I use. My little brother was living with us and it drove me crazy that he would leave his room with his light and tv on. He got a lot better after I pestered him about it.

2. I have an obsession of collecting children's books. I could probably fill a small library with my books. Not really, but I do have quite a few. I keep them all in my classroom. I am obsessed with keeping them well kept, which I know will change once I have children who want to read them. I use them as read alouds, but my students know that they aren't aloud to read the books that I own. I learned after the first year of teaching that it only takes a couple of 6 year old children reading a book to ruin it. I know you're probably thinking I'm heartless, but I have hundreds and hundreds of books around my classroom that are specifically for my students to read. They have quite the variety of books to choose from.

3. Trying to be more echo friendly.
