Here's how to play: List 3 joys, 3 of your fears, 3 of your goals, 3 current obsessions/collections and 3 random, surprising facts about yourself. At the end of your post, tag 5 more people.
3 Joys:
1. Lazy Sunday afternoons after Church. They're always so relaxing and we have a great time just being together, maybe taking a walk by the river, or baking something yummy, where there are no school or work pressures. I love Sundays.
2. Taking a nice hike through the mountains or camping. The mountains are so peaceful and beautiful that it's hard not to see God's hand when you spend some time in the great outdoors. I also love to eat outside.
3. Feeling the baby move inside me. There is something so magical and reassuring about knowing that there's a little life inside you, and they're moving and well.
3 Fears:
1. I have an irrational and random fear of contracting cancer - specifically breast cancer. Although skin cancer is a definite possibility in my family (my maternal grandpa is constantly having little things removed), no one (immediate anyway), that I know of, on either side of my family has ever had breast cancer, and yet it hovers in my subconscious as a distinct possibility.
2. Going hand in hand with that, dying before I get to see my children grow up. Although, I know there are worse things, and I'm not scared of death itself, I wish to be part of their growing up lives.
3. Losing my musical talent because I haven't kept up with it, or haven't found an opportunity to use it, especially my trumpet playing. I will be the mom that "used to play the trumpet"

3 Goals:
1. To graduate college! it's not really something that is driving my crazy, and I feel there are other things more important right now, but until I actually have a degree it will always be hovering in the back of my mind as something left unfinished that needs to be done.
2. To eventually be in a place financially that we can serve a church mission when we're older, and also to be able to loan money to friends and family members that are in need. To be able to take care of our families. In other words, to be able to be as generous in deed as we are in thought right now.
3. To raise happy, healthy, spiritually knowledgeable children who desire to serve the Lord.
3 Current obsessions/collections:
1. Reading all I can about pregnancy, and VBACs. I hate feeling ignorant about things that are happening or are going to happen to me. I also know that VBACs aren't all that popular with doctors, and I don't want to be pushed because of ignorance on my part. I will not be uninformed!
2. The Jonas Brothers. I know, funny right. And yet, I can't help but be in awe of their talent and ability to put on a show. I admire their well-roundedness (from what I see) and any family with that amount of talent is fun to watch. They write their own songs and seem to be really down-to- earth about all their fame.
3. Taking better care of myself than I did with my last pregnancy. So far, since I've been making a serious effort, it's gone well, but I know it needs my full attention and perseverance for the duration of the pregnancy. I've been trying to exercise every day and eat better. I've even lost a little weight! I want to be in good shape!
3 Random/surprising things about yourself:
1. I LOVE to bake. I don't much because I hate to have the food in my house, especially with just the 3 of us. So when things like a potluck or a donation to an item are needed it's the perfect opportunity for me to make something and give away. I find it relaxing and enjoyable. I can go at my own pace, and I like that food makes people happy.
2. Walking in the cold. I hate being cold, but I love being all bundled up in nice warm pants, and a warm coat and possibly gloves, all the way up to my neck and feeling the cold air on my face. And then the feeling of my cheeks warming up when I go inside to someplace nice and toasty.
3. The older I get the more issues I have with germs. I hate touching raw meat and will get Paul to do it whenever possible. I don't know that I'll ever be a germ-a-phobe per say, and I certainly don't have issues with eating something that fell on the grass outside while we're having a picnic or something, but things that never used to bug me make my cringe now.
Well, that was long and much more difficult than I expected to be, and I don't have anyone to tag since everyone I know on blogger was tagged by Becky, and that's not even 5 people total! So, I guess that's it.
