3 joys:
1. family hugs - dan or i hold madison and say, "family hug!" madison stretches her arms as far as she can reach around both of us, pats our backs, and sighs. it's so much fun; i love my little family!
2. rocky point, mexico - beach, foriegn country, kayaking, tide pools, sunsets, gorgeous. it's definatly my fav place to vacation.
3. food - i love to eat it, think about it, and cook it. i could look through cook books for hours!

3 fears:
1. epidurals - but there is NO WAY i could give birth without them, so thank goodness I overcame that one!
2. raising a family - i feel so much responsibility in being a mom and sometimes i feel intimidated and overwhelmed with everything i need to teach my kids
3. MIA husband - this isn't dan's fault, but he will be gone this fall, from August through mid-December doing rotations at other medical schools. i am afraid of being super prego and having a toddler and being husbandless. thankfully he will get to come home for 3 weeks when we have the baby!

3 goals:
1. half marathon - i want to run a half marathon within a year of having this next baby. i'd like to eventually do a full marathon but a half will have to do for now.
2. not gain more than 25 lbs! - i pretty much gained double that with madison's pregnancy and it wasn't very much fun afterwards, so i am being MUCH more careful this time
3. grocery budget - i love to grocery shop and spend way too much money doing it, therefore, following a grocery budget is a goal of mine. we'll see if i can do it.

3 obsessions:
1. blogging - not really my own blog, although i am doing better at posting more often, but i spend WAY too much time reading other peoples. i check multiple times a day to see if anyone has adding anything new and i am even starting to go to random blogs. obviously i do not have enough other things to keep me busy!
2. reality TV - i am a reality tv junkie from american idol and amazing race to survivor and the bachelor. right now i am devoted to the bachelorette - i love the drama, romantic dates, and corny professions of love when they hardly even know each other. i am secretly rooting for jason to win deanna's heart this season.
3. color coded closet - i mentioned this in a previous tag, but here it is again. i have all the clothes in my closet color coded and it drives me crazy when they get out or order. it doesn't matter if they are inside out or not, just that the hangers all face the same direction, and the colors are in order. dan thinks i have some OCD tendencies :)

3 random surprising facts:
1. clean sheets - i have to sleep in clean sheets! i wash our sheets AT LEAST once a week and i am always nervous to go on trips because it grosses me out to use sheets that have been slept in by other people. sometimes i pack a blanket or sheet just in case, and use it to sleep on top of the bed. i can't even share pillows with dan, i have to have my own, and he's my husband! ocd, i know.
2. called to serve - you might not believe i am going to say this, but i actually ENJOY teaching Relief Society. before i got called i had only ever taught in primary, and mostly sunbeams. so of coarse i was shocked when asked to teach in our ward in mesa. but i like it! i still get stressed, and every month it's a challenge, but one that i have grown to love. who would have thought?
3. i am not creative in the slightest bit. i can't scrapbook, do crafts, anything. its stresses me out to try and be creative. give me a pattern and i will follow it, other then that forget it.
