Sounds like Fun!

Okay, so Cherri wants me to blog about ME. Her blog was fun to read so I thought I would do one too. Here are a few things about me:

1) I am afraid of really loud thunder. Not the soft rumbles, but the really loud CRACKS. Every time the lightning gets really close and loud I am afraid that our house will be hit. The only other thing I am really afraid of is climbing a ladder.



2) My favorite animal is a dolphin. Someday I would like to swim with the dolphins! They are so beautiful and cute and smart and fast.

3) I love water: waterfalls, streams, creeks, beaches, and lakes. They really help me to feel peaceful.



4) I love nature in general. Going somewhere that is really beautiful with mountains or lush greenery is really relaxing for me.


5) I enjoy learning. I have studied many things and have learned a little about a lot. The things I have learned something about so far (in no particular order) are: personal finance, cooking/baking, computers, physics, photography, decorating/design, sales, geology, human relations, parenting, dog training, the gospel/scriptures, drawing & painting, German, auto repair, real estate, nutrition & health, music, business, and most recently, emergency preparedness. Learning is FUN!



6) I am an absolute sucker for a thoughtful compliment. I even have a place where I have written down the nicest things people have said to me.

7) I went to MCC instead of my last 3 years of high school. I changed my major from secondary education physics to business (go figure!).



8) I like to write. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts and express myself. I have many journals and lists cluttering up my house. Right now I am writing for the homemaking cottage and it is so much fun!

9) I don't usually express my opinion if it might possibly offend someone. Because of that I often keep quiet when I am around others. If I do say something, I often berate myself for it afterwards. Strangely though, I am not easily offended by what others say. It must be from growing up around my dad :).

10) As a child my sisters and I loved to play a game we called "fairies and unicorns" we would fly to an imaginary place we called rainbow land. I also liked to pretend I was a flying white tiger. We had so much fun together on our 17 acres of property! We were best friends then and remain best friends now.
