My friend Juli tagged me a while ago and I forgot until recently when Crystal tagged Tessa.
Here's how this "Tag" works. List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts about yourself. Then tag 5 people at the end of your post.
3 joys:
1. When my house is clean. (I try to be joyful in between those rare moments as well).
2. When our family is together doing something fun. The other day we were on this four-way see-saw at the park and I remember thinking at that moment that my joy was at its peak thus far in my life.
3. Feeling close to the Lord.
3 fears:
1. I'll just get this one out of the way, SPIDERS!!! I've been held hostage for quite a bit of time by quite a few in my life. If I see one and watch it go under something I have to find and kill it before I can even think of going on with my life. When I was little I had to shine a flashlight down under my blankets to check for spiders before I would get in bed. Now I'm so blessed to have Darrin around for the majority of the spider sightings.
2. Losing a child. I'm sorry to go from something so trivial to this. This really would be the hardest most unbelievably painful trial to go through in this life.
3. I really fear the thought of my parents getting old. Dementia is a frightening disease to me and one that I hope I never have to experience. But, the fear of #2 and #3 is so greatly aleviated by the knowledge of the resurrection. For that I am grateful.
3 goals:
1. Grow a tomato to its juciest, redest (is that a word?) state.
2. Go to Hawaii with Darrin someday...he really needs to experience this, and I need to experience it again, this time with a special boy to walk hand in hand down the beach. :)
3. To learn digital scrapbooking...anyone into this who wants to teach me??
3 current obsessions/collections:
1. The song Welcome Home by Radical Face.
2. I'm collecting lots of food and toothbrushes with the couponing I'm getting into. It's super fun.
3. I'm kind of obsessed with reading other people's blogs and admit to being a total blog slacker myself.
3 surprising facts about myself:
1. I lived in Russia once in 1998 and again in 1999 teaching English. I have some of the fondest memories of my life in those two semesters.
2. I like hospitals. I enjoy being a patient and would love to be a nurse someday...the human body amazes me to no end. You can find me many times not being able to sleep, watching Discovery Health. The human body is A-mazing.
3. I never went to the same Elementary for more than one year in a row. But, my mom promised I would go to the same junior high and high school and she kept her promise (although I still moved 3 times during that time---it was still within the boundaries). Thanks mom. :)
Kay, now I tag Crystal, Lisa, Christy, Laura, and Ashley if you guys want, I'd love to read em.

What a fun tag! You'll have to give me a couple days, though. I'm off to girls camp until Saturday! But I figure since I'm still waiting to see that tag for Tessa, I deserve at least a few days, right??? AND...I was totally planning on going to the treehouse museum with you, but when the whole thing came together with my parents...well, I thought it'd be weird or maybe even rude of me to invite someone else. We owe you, though! MY greatest fear was that I'd run into you guys at the museum and get caught in the act!!
Hi, I like reading tags. You get to know a lot about someone from just a few simple questions. Hey, the spider thing, you're not alone - I still check my sheets & actually found a beetle sleeping with me this morning. YUCK!
