Honest Scrap



1-I have always wanted to have a beautiful singing voice (you know, the solo type), my first year of college I even took class voice. Unfortunately I was just not blessed with this, so I live my dream through Eric, who sang like three solo's in his Singles ward road show way back when...

2-One of my biggest fears is losing a family member unexpectedly, I used to have nightmares about it when I first left home. I bring myself to tears sometimes thinking about losing Eric.

3-I am horrible at accounting, for a long time Eric had to go over the checkbook register for me to help me figure out where my mistakes were. I now use an awesome program called kmymoney (you can download it for free!!)

4-About five years ago I couldn't tell you what my natural hair color was! I was a redhead (varying shades) I colored it every couple of months for about 3 years.

5- After years of denial I am admitting that I am a country girl! It's taken me years to realize that the grass really isn't greener on the other side. If you don't have a good attitude where you are it won't change when you go somewhere else. Everywhere you go will have a different set of challenges.

6-I am extremely opinionated, and it has gotten me into trouble plenty of times. I've learned that some things just don't matter and you need to let it go if it's just going to hurt the feelings of another person.

7-I want to learn to ski, but I'm so afraid of riding the lift I have never dared.

8- I can't wait until I have a house that actually sits on land, it will include a fenced in yard for my children to run around, a pond with plenty of ducks, and a parking spot I can back in and out of without risk of putting some sort of scratch on the bumper. Oh..and it must be at least a mile out of town!

9- I love 80's rock.

10- I pride myself on always having a clean kitchen. The rest of the house can be a war zone, but as long as the kitchen is clean I am happy!

I am now passing it on to:
Five of my awesome blogger friends/family!

You know, I use to worry about losing Todd too. He has come so close to dieing so many times, that I have come to learn that our days are numbered--as it says in D&C and they won't be numbered less. My mom says that Todd shouldn't go white water rafting with the scouts due to his last accident, but I say--If it's his time to go and I keep him home, he'll be hit by car. He is only here now due to gaurdian angles. He has more to do.
But Todd has such a belief in heaven. I once was worried about Karla. He told me, if she dies--she'll be in a better place and won't have to put up with the crap of this life. And besides we're sealed. It's all true and real isn't it? His faith gives me strength. I don't worry anymore. I wish that peace for you.
