3 About Me

I saw this on another blog and loved the idea....list 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions, and 3 random facts about yourself. Feel free to "tag" yourself if you like the idea, too!

JOYS

• The sweet grunt/pant sound that Chandler makes the second she sees me when I get home from work. It makes my day! She gets so excited and smiles but then cries if I don't hold her immediately.
• My mom's cooking! I told her that it was the reason that I decided to move home. She is the best cook EVER. If I can one day cook half as good as she does, I will consider myself a success in the kitchen.
• Really, every minute that I get to spend with Chandler. She's what I live for. Now that I'm at work a lot of the day, she is glued to me every minute that we are together. She turns away from anyone that trys to take her from me. I love her so much!

FEARS

• I worry that I'm going to miss all of Chandler's "firsts" while I'm at work. I know that even if I do miss them, Amy won't tell me, but I don't know if that makes it better of worse. It breaks my heart!
• The dark. I know....I'm too old for that! But to this day, when I go past our basement family room at night, I run, and I have to think about happy things to distract myself from the thought that there could be a boogey man in there.
• I sometimes worry that I'm not going to find someone to marry that's going to be ok with the fact that I'm divorced and have a baby. It's a lot of baggage for someone as young as I am, so I'm scared that I'll never find someone willing to love me and everything that I am and have been through. I really hope he's out there though!

GOALS

• To go to the temple as soon as I can. I wanted to be there way before now, but better late than never!
• Taking pictures of Chandler. I have done really well lately, but I'm sad that I don't have more from when she was tiny. She's already grown so much and I just want to document it all!
• I want to be my kids' best friend. I want them to feel like they can come to me with their problems, rather than hiding them from me. I want to be as close with them as I can. And hopefully one day I will be able to be a stay-at-home mom, too.

OBSESSIONS

• EVERYTHING baby! I swear if I see something cute, I have to buy it! Headbands, clothes, accessories, decorations, anything. If it's on sale, it's pretty much guaranteed that I'm going to buy it. And I'm always on the lookout.
• Being a good mom. I'm constatly critiquing myself and setting little goals for things I can do better. I forgot to bring Chandler's milk to Amy the other day when I dropped her off and I was mad at myself for the rest of the day. Who forgets something as essential as MILK?!
• Celebrity gossip. When I wasn't working, I wasn't online everyday updating myself and I was so mad at all the stuff I missed! I was so upset when I found out about Jessica Alba having her baby like 2 weeks later! I know, I'm lame, but it's my guilty pleasure.

RANDOM FACTS

• I LOVE to organize. I can't tell you how many times I have reorganized my stuff just since I have moved back home. I also love to file at work. I don't know why, but something about knowing where everything is and having it in order makes me happy.
• If I could pick any job in the world, I would be a wedding planner. I would love color coordinating everything, decorating, picking flowers, choosing dresses, etc. I've always wished I could do a wedding like once a year, just so that I could plan it again. It was so fun! I'm so excited that I get to plan another one for myself, but planning other people's would be awesome, especially if I was getting paid!
• Animal prints are my favorite! Zebra, leopard, giraffe, crocodile, snake....you name it, I love it. I currently have 3 pairs of animal print shoes and am carrying an animal print purse. I also really want an ivory and brown zebra striped rug (when I have a home of my own). I just love it!
