Mandy's Tag

I was tagged MONTHS ago by my friend Mandy, and I'm finally doing it! I'm home from Church with sick kids so I have a little time. This will be fun!

Answer these 15 questions about yourself on your blog. List 3 Joys, 3 Fears, 3 Goals, 3 Current Obsessions/Collections and 3 Random/Surprising facts. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys:

1. The Savior. Without him and His gospel, I wouldn't have any joys at all!
2. Family. I'm blessed to be part of a family and home where we love, respect and like each other!
3. When I get it? Sleep. This is an elusive thing for me. I never seem to get enough. What I wouldn't do for one night of uninterrupted sleep!

3 Fears:

1. My kids or husband getting a major illness or dying prematurely.
2. People seeing my house a mess. (Which it frequently is).
3. That my kids will never grow out of their picky-eating habits.

3 Goals:

1. To raise educated, wise, faithful children.
2. To be one of those "genealogy" old ladies and work in the temple.
3. To visit some places I love even though I've never been there: England, Ireland, Italy.

3 Current Obsessions:

1. My daily routine: Pray, eat, read scriptures, work-out, teach kids math, eat lunch, etc. etc.
2. My husband. I don't get to see him often enough.
3. Trying to be the best Mom ever!

3 Current Collections:

1. Teacups. I grew up going to my Great-Grandmother Steven's house and seeing her teacup collection. I've always loved going to tea and I adore the formality of it.
2. Books, books, books. I probably spend half of my budget on books! Classics and children's books are my favorites right now.
3. Pottery-barn kids plates. We have them for every holiday they sell. We're hoping for St. Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo!

3 Random/Surprising Facts:

1. I get the Sunday paper and read it every week. It's one of my little indulgences I allow myself.
2. I'm really good at remembering birthdays. (With the help of my calendar.)
3. I love ALL movies set in England. Especially period pieces.

Okay so this is more than 5, I tag my sister-in-laws (who I think might do it): Melissa, Betsy, Katie, Marjorie and Mary Ellen and my old college roommates: Kirsten, Sharese, Amy and Tyra
