Stupid Tags

Okay, I'm mad at my sister Karen for tagging me. Not the best idea but I thought that it would give a little insight into my life with Josh. Here it goes....

Three Joys:
1. My husband Josh: I don't think that I could find a better companion. He is awesome and I'm surprised that he still wants to be with me. (Sometimes I can go crazy on him.)

2. My sisters: They are the coolest! Although I am nine years younger than my oldest sister we are still really close. I couldn't imagine not having my sisters.

3. Scrapbooking: Scrapbooking just makes me happy. It lets me be really creative and I can just let everything else go in my live when I scrapbook. I mostly do it at my sister Wendi's because it is boring alone but it still helps to relax me.

Three Fears:
1. Snakes: I would have to agree with Karen on this one. They are just creepy.

2. Heights: Classic... I know but very true. I am freaked out about heights. That is probably one reason why Josh and I didn't go on his mothers rooftop on the fourth of July. I freak out every time.

3. Spiders: Although I think that spiders are creepy... Josh hates them even more. That is why I decided to place them under fears. Josh hates them and I find the bad one scary. I guess that works.

Three Goals:
1. To teach a junior high math class: Yeah I'm pathetic but it is so much fun! Math makes my brain work and I want my students to realize the same thing. I wouldn't mind an elementary class but junior high math... it is AMAZING! Rand.... I am so jealous of you!

2. To become an amazing mom: I am sure everyone is biased about their mom but mine is totally awesome! I want to be just like her (and my sisters) because they are great mom's and are so great with their kids. Sometimes I wonder if I will have enough patience... we will see in about 5 years.

3. To buy a house: Pathetic, I know but I really want one. I want to be able to decorate it all nice without having to worry about holes in the walls. I want something more permanent. If it helps, Josh and I are looking but we have not made that decision.

Three Current Obsession:
1. Webkins: Yes, I play webkins. It is so addicting! Not only that but I have nothing else better to do!

2. Worrying about Christmas: Yes, I have started on Christmas presents! I'm crazy but we only have 5 months left people. I start school soon and I won't have much time once I start school. I could just buy them but that is so boring and NOT CREATIVE!

3. Grocery Shopping: I go grocery shopping at least once a week. I have to get all the good deals. It is food we will need in the long run but I probably spend $100- $150 a month on food just for the two of us. We get a lot of it but I love going to the grocery store (without Josh). Not only that but by going to the grocery store I get my fill of shopping for the week. I figure that we need food more that junk...right?

Three Surprising Facts
1. I love school... and Josh hates it. I'm one of those students who freaks out if they don't get an "A" in the class. Pathetic, I know. Josh dropped out of high school and got his GED. I'm pretty much forcing him to take a couple of classes at MCC this semester. WHAT!?!?! He needs a degree to go into what he wants to do so he'll have to get over it and take classes.

2. Lingerie is one of my pet peeves: I don't understand it! I has never made sense to me and it never will. One of my friends from high school is getting married in November. I have to go shopping with another one of my friends to pick out some lingerie for her. Think about it... why "slip into something more comfortable" when you just have to take it off anyway! Again... what is the point?

3. Josh and I read to each other every night. We find books at the store that look interesting (ones that we have never heard of) and read them to each other. Sometimes we fight on who gets to read the book. We got to the point to where we switch off every night. We started it while we were dating (he would read to me over the phone) and we kept that tradition. I like it because we try new books that we have never heard of.


Our favorite books to read: The Fablehaven series. I highly recommend them to anyone because they are so awesome. The next one comes out in April of next year (book #4).


I decided not to tag anyone because I find it interesting but weird and I don't have many friends that have blogs.

Camping

My niece ready for her camping experience.

Me, attempting to put up Wendi and Doug's tent. Wendi and I were so proud of ourselves because we were able to put up her tent and mine without our husbands. It took awhile for hers but they both stayed up the whole time. What an accomplishment!

My nephew Kaiden playing at the park in Eagar, AZ.

The past week I went camping with my family. I traveled up with my sister Wendi on Wednesday (and parents of course) and stayed until Sunday morning. We both had a great time camping with my dad's side of the family (yeah, it was a family reunion). Both Doug and Josh were unable to come up on Wednesday with us so they came up Friday after work. We were both glad to see them. Sunday we all went to Eagar to spend some time there. The boys had to leave Sunday afternoon so they could be home for work on Monday and Wendi and I stayed to hang out with Karen and her family. We went to the park, went on some walks, and eventually started to go crazy because of the kids. Tuesday morning around 9:30 we left for home. We didn't make it home unit 3:00. Yes, it was a 5 1/2 hour drive (it should have been 4) because we hit construction, had to stop and get gas, McDonald's forgot our happy meal toys, and we had to pull over on the side of the road to let someone go to the bathroom( they were to scared to actually go). The trip was fun but it felt good to come home and spend some QUIET time with Josh. I never knew how much I could miss him.

Fourth of July

Six months ago (on the fourth) Josh and I got married. It is weird to think about but true. To celebrate we went and saw Wall-E and went to Chick-fil-a (I've never been there). Wall-E was a great movie and we both recommend it to anyone. We'll probably own it when it comes out on DVD. I cried and Josh thought that I was weird for doing so in a kids movie. It was sad at one part (I don't feel like spoiling it for anyone). We also went over to Josh's mom's house (grandmama for some of you) and did dinner there. It wasn't as exciting as I hoped for because there was only six of us but it had been a long time since we did something with his mom. Fireworks are overrated so we didn't watch them this year. They all look the same and it was really hot outside. I don't like the heat... ask Josh.

I've Caved

Everyone has a blog. I admit that it sounded appealing a long time ago. I guess that I just had to admit that it sounded like fun and not everyones life is boring. Yes, that is why I never had one. I figured that it would be good for those that I never really talk to because they can see what Josh and I do with our boring lives. Well, it isn't that bad but as you read more you can decide for yourself.
