I've been Tagged, so here it goes. . . . . . .

Ok, so I was "tagged" to do this. But, I must admit, I had no clue what being "tagged" really meant and I had to ask the person who did it, to explain it to me. It was a little embarrassing! (thanks Alli!)


Four Places I've Lived:
1. In Mesa, AZ
2. In Sedan, KS ( Go BLUE DEVILS) =)
3. In England. Still the most beautiful place to me.
4. In Holbrook.

Four Favorite Books: (This one is hard for me - I love to read)
1. Anything Jane Austen (Can I have the author and all her book count as one?) I guess its my blog, so I can do what I want.
2. The Goose Girl - Shannon Hale
3. John Adams - I've learned so much about our nation's history from that book!
4. Oh the Places You'll Go - Dr. Seuess

Four Favorite Movies:
1. Pride and Prejudice (All Versions - I think there are about 50)
2. North and South (BBC)
3. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. (The story of Rod and I)
4. Italian Job (Action, and the music)

Four Embarrassing Facts About Me:
1. Tripping on my way down from the pulpit after doing a musical number. (Oh, what grace I lack!)
2. Making one of my companions be a page turner for me as I played the violin. The thing was, at the time the page needed to be turned, it was a rest period for me playing. So, we looked pretty stupid up there with her standing by me with basically nothing to do! (maybe you had to be there but, every time I think of it, I have to laugh outloud!)
3. Walking down the isles at stores, and having Cooper blurt out all the things he notices about the other people in the store. Not very nice things. He doesn't understand being quiet. I feel lucky to have made it out of the store with my life.
4. There are soooo many others, I usually try to block them out of my memory so I don't make myself feel terrible about them.

Four Dreams of Mine:
1. Finish a degree in something!
2. Run without feeling old.
3. Serving a mission with Rod.
4. Being on a postage stamp.

Four Pet Peeves:
1. When I have an odd number of emails. ( I know, its silly, but it drives me crazy)
2. Biscuits smashed to a thousand little pieces and strategically thrown around the kitchen by my kids when I'm not looking of course!
3. Touching FEET!!! ( It grosses me out!!!)
4. When teenagers walk in the middle of the road because they're cool while you're driving right at them!

Four things that make me Really Happy:
1. Watching my kids sleep - they're beautiful.
2. A clean house
3. Going on dates with my hunky husband
4. Having "real" talks with friends and family

Dogs

Well, Rod and I have both told each other that we wouldn't have a dog in the house. Today, we have a dog in the house. He is asleep now so we're both fine with him right now. I wasn't so fine when he had a little accident a little while ago. But, we thought that maybe we should just put Preston in big boy pants at the same time- we'd have two messes (one human and one canine) to clean up but we'd be done with potty training the rest of our lives!!! The thought brings a smile to my face. Not having to buy diapers anymore brings a smile to my face. Then I think of the few weeks till completion and wonder if it'll be worth it. Maybe Preston wouldn't mind diapers till he is 15 and maybe the dog really will be happier outside. If we do go ahead with the plan, I give fair warning to anyone considering coming over to our home . . . . . . it won't be pretty!
