Court tagged me, so have fun reading this:

3 Joys:
1. I love being married. We are past the point now where we don't want to strangle each other any more, which is quite nice.
2. Talking about our future family. Tim and I have been talking a lot lately about when we will try for our first baby. I'm pretty excited to be a mom.
3. Fall and Winter. I LOVE cold weather! And I love all of the holidays associated with the months between September to February, including both of our birthdays and anniversary.
4. I'm going to add an extra joy because I just found out 5 minutes ago that the psychotic lady that I work with is quitting next week. This almost tops the other 3, almost.

3 Fears:
1. Spiders! I leave mugs and cups all over the house with spiders underneath them. I appreciate that Tim always knows that it means that a spider, or any type of bug really, needs to be annihilated.
2. Car accidents. I'm always afraid that myself or one of my loved one's will get in a terrible car crash. This was made slightly worse when our friend Courtney was flattened by a semi that left her car totaled and her leg broken.
3. Speaking in public. I hate giving talks and such in front of a bunch of strangers. We have avoided speaking in our whacked out ward so far, knock on wood.

3 Goals:
1. Keeping in touch. I am terrible at calling and keeping in touch with friends and family, as most of you can probably attest to. I really need to be better about that.
2. Canine Companions for Independence. Tim recently found out about a program that involves raising a puppy in your own home until it can go to another family that will then train it to be a therapy or seeing-eye dog. While it is in your home you have to teach it basic commands, social skills, and obedience. So now it is my goal to be able to qualify for this program so that I can raise a puppy or two.
3. Getting my Associates. It will happen someday people. This is mainly on here for the family members that nag me about it.

3 Current Obsessions:
1. Lucky. I'm always weirdly obsessed with my dog, that isn't just a current thing.
2. Reading. I LOVE to read. Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Julie Garwood, Mary Higgins Clark, and John Grisham are just some of my favorites. Terra and I found a new author that is similar to Nora Roberts, so we are pretty excited about that.
3. Shopping. That has slowed down a little bit lately since I've found shopping for clothes to be slightly depressing what with me being chubby and all. But I love shopping in general, not just for clothes, so it all works out.

3 Random Facts:
1. I didn't learn how to use a tampon correctly until I was 20. That's 6 long years of excruciating pain people. Consider yourself very lucky if you have heard that story.
2. At one time I could name every sandwich on the Gandolfos menu, along with the ingredients of each. What a pity that I have since forgotten that useless information.
3. I have had ten jobs since I was 16 years old, and I have only strongly disliked two of them. One of them being the plumbing company in Pleasant Grove where I was paid a pathetic $7.00 an hour to do all of the Quick Books, among several other things. The other being the financial company in Murray where I was ridiculed for my "poor and illegible" handwriting skills. That was also not worth $8.00 an hour.
