Seven Random Facts about me

My friend Steph tagged me to post 7 random facts about myself. Here goes nothing...

1. I get really excited for General Conference every 6 months. I like to catch each and every session if I can. I have a hard time sitting and watching conference though. I almost always fall asleep no matter how hard I try. So I have come up with a plan for myself. I usually have some sort of project. This morning I deep cleaned the house while listening to conference on my MP3 player. This afternoon I cross stitched. I always feel so uplifted after listening:)

2. My biggest goal right now is to become a stay at home mom. I can't wait for the day when I can be home with my girls and take care of them. I have wonderful images of what it will be like. I see myself in a clean home with something baking in the oven giving the whole home a pleasant aroma. I can imagine walking my girls to and from school each and every day and imagine having another child. It probably sounds a little cheesy, but that is me.

3. I love a clean house. When the house is clean I am able to relax easier and am able to feel the spirit more. Working 40 hours a week (45 this last week) makes it hard to keep it that way. I have learned at times to just ignore the full sink of dishes and toys scattered though out the house. I would go crazy if I didn't. I think I may have picked up this trait from my mother.

4. I will rarely read grown up, modern books anymore unless they have been recommended to me by someone I trust. I usually stick to the classics or Juvenile Fiction (Harry Potter Series, Series of Unfortunate Events, etc.). Too many times I have picked up a modern novel and found that it is filled with swearing, sex scenes, or other things I don't care to immerse myself in.

5. I love to kiss and snuggle my girls. They get them when I leave every day and before bed every night. It has become a habit for all of us in the family. We like being close.

6. I enjoy cooking when I can take the time to experiment with the food and ingredients. Usually dinners are the best when I have followed a "craving" for something. My family has learned to trust these experiments. Sometimes they have been leery to try new things, but once they bite into it they generally love it.

7. I enjoy simplifying things in my life. I like the fact that there is little that we buy as a family. We have learned that there are few things that you need to buy or have. It is okay to have a small house, worn clothes and used cars. All that really matters to me is my family and the gospel. I love finding joy in the simple things.

Well I probably took this too seriously, but I enjoyed sharing. I also enjoyed reading Liz's and Steph's facts :)

Okay...so I tag Tiffany, Emma, Kandis, Michelle, Erica, Bonnie, and Bob and Ronda.
