Tagged??

So in the 2 weeks it has been since I started looking at blogs and trying to figure it out, I noticed this game that is played amoungst bloggers called "tag." It is the same as when you get a chain letter in your e-mail, ya know, answer these questions, then send it to a certain amount of friends and then they send it back to you. This works in much the same way. My cute friend in Washington, Jamie, tagged me today. So, I am supposed to list 7 different facts about myself: random, silly, funny, whatever. Then I choose 7 new people to tag. It's fun to learn new things about your friends. If you are tagged, please list the rules when you post.

So here they are....

1. I love laundry. Everything about it. I love that I start out with a big pile of dirty stuff and it comes out clean stuff. I love to fold it and put it into organized little piles. I love love love to smell it. I love that when it is done, I don't have to deal with it for another week. I love that it is something that I can finish. But mostly I love to smell it.

2. I have OCD. Ask Camille, who also has OCD. Once on our way to St. George to a baseball tournament, I was following her, and I made her pull over in Nephi because I got it in my head that I had forgotten Ty's uniform and even though I could remember putting it in, I HAD to check. I have also been known to spend an entire day and tons of gas driving all over the valley looking for the exact item I needed for a Young Women's lesson or activity, or a Sharing Time. My OCD does not extend to having a perfectly groomed house. :)

3. I love to read. I especially love children's picture books. I like to "splurge" on hardbacks of my favorite ones.

4. I don't swim because I don't want my hair to get wet. Or my face.

5. I am a Young and the Restless junkie. I just can't stop. It doesn't matter how predictable or ridiculous it gets, I...gotta...have...it.

6. This year is my 2oth High School Reunion. When my mom had hers, I thought she was so old. I'm not going. 7. I love to listen to Depeche Mode, Yaz and Alphaville. "Forever Young" is my favorite song of all time. Berlin is another big favorite. I, like Jamie, am a 80's music fan. The difference is I was a teenager in the 80's, with the hair and the clothes. :)

Time for me to tag. I only have 3 legitimate blog friends (ones who actually have working blogs.) But I will tag some of you that are starting one, because this will be a good first post! So, Heidi, Teresa, Camille, Stephanie, Nancy, and Jessica, you are it. That is only 6, but Kristi, if you are reading this, you can be it too!!

-Audrey Hepburn


Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
