Graduation!

Today I applied for graduation. I can't fully express the joy that I feel knowing that I am D.O.N.E in December.


That is all.

Tagged!

Well I don't normally actually do these, but I thought since Katie tagged me I would try it because she did one and she just had a baby. I don't really have an excuse not to.

First one: Post these rules on your blog.
List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 facts about yourself.
Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys:
1. John
2. Music
3. Teaching

I can already tell that my answers are going to be the most boring ever.

3 Fears:
1. That John will die in a hunting accident and I will have no idea because I have no way of contacting him and vice versa while he is on his hunting trips. ya....that is definitely a big fear.
2. Random noises while I am alone. I always assume it is a murderer/rapist out to get me. When John is gone overnight, I literally lock myself in the house and then lock myself in the room and put stuff in front of the door so I can have a fighting chance of survival.
3. spiders and anything else that crawls or creeps or jumps. I can't stand the creepy crawly things.

3 Goals:
1. Get pregnant sometime soon. :)
2. Graduate in December.
3. Have a successful senior recital so that I can graduate.

Obsessions/Collections:
1. If you were to ask John he would tell you that I collect clothing. It is probably true.
2. Music.
3. Anything that is pink. If it is pink I just am drawn to it and have to have it. sad but true.

Facts about me:
1. I really like to go paintballing, but only in the winter so that I can wear a lot of padding. I hate pain.
2. I collected underwear before I started wearing the g's. I think I had over 100 pair. I really contemplated sewing them into a quilt. I couldn't stand to part with them. It was such a waste to throw them away. (I couldn't add them into my obsessions/collections list because I don't collect them anymore.)
3. I currently teach private lessons to 25 students and I have 45 students that I teach at the charter school. I feel accomplished for once.

Ten Years Ago.....
1. I was 13 years old.
2. My family had moved from American Fork to Highland.
3. I was accepted into the Symphonic Band at Mountain Ridge Jr. High. (It was a huge highlight)
4. I wore a neon orange hunting jacket to school because I thought it was cool.
5. I listened to the Celine Dion CDs at least 3 times a day. Each.

Five things on today’s “to do” list…
1. Go to school.
2. Talk to stupid financial aid dude.
3. Go to lunch with John.
4. Teach lessons.
5. Make dinner. (nothing exciting today.)

Five snacks I enjoy…
1. I love love love cinnamon bears.
2. My new snack I like is from Costco. Everyone should get them. They are garlic and chive pita crackers. They make you stink, but they are addicting.
3. I always like anything that is fruity.
4. Lately I am addicted to drinking all types of juice. I don't know what it is, but I love that fruity liquid.
5. One of my students mom's gave me a jar of homemade salsa last week. It is almost gone. I loved it! I could eat salsa all day.

Five things I would do if I was a millionaire...

(Just a side note....I asked John what he would do if he were a millionare and he said it isn't a matter of if, but when. Then he went on lecturing me as to why this is a stupid question because so many people have that money and then spend it all when they should invest it like he is going to do. This is why I love my husband:)

1. I of course need to say that I would invest it. I just think that John and I would have different opinions as to WHAT we should invest said money into......:)
2. I would feel a lot more financially secure and would actually feel a sense of freedom from not having to live paycheck to paycheck.
3. I would definitely buy a new flute and a huge old grand piano to go into our beautiful music room that would be more of a performance hall.

Five places I have lived:
1. American Fork, UT
2. Highland, UT
3. Logan, UT (go Aggies)
4. Augusta, Maine
5. Lehi, UT

I now tag Mandy Christensen, Sandra Manookin, Shae Conrad, Dorothy Rassmussen and Samantha Taylor. You don't have to if you don't want to, but I think it would be fun :)
