Lena and I bought this sweater for Stephanie back in April because we knew she was trying and I put it on and put an apple in my shirt to see what I would look like when I was pregnant some day. Come to think of it... I've never seen her wear it...

I was tagged twice with this one. By Wendyburd and Kayleigh.

I've already done 7 weird facts about me.

This is 6 random things about me.

1.) I've never broken a bone. But I cracked my nose when I was in first grade and talked my doc out of stitches because I didn't want the huge scar(I was 6). I can still feel where it cracked.

2.) I married a farmer but I come from a farming family. My dad, uncle and grandpa own a dairy farm and I drove tractor, truck, welded, helped with construction and did lots of really annoying manual labor that I'm pretty sure my dad made me do to "build character", whatever that means.

3.) I've always wanted to be super super good at dancing like the people on So You Think You Can Dance. The closest dance studio that could have taught me like that was an hour away and we couldn't afford it growing up. I took dance classes a few times and then was on my high school's dance team. I choreographed routines and LOVED preforming. It's something I miss a lot.

4.) I'm really good at keeping secrets. Except from my husband.

5.) I am driven crazy by people who think they are better than others. When eyes are rolled at me or I'm being glared at.. I get uncharacteristically angry. Mostly because these people know nothing about me or anything about the people they are judging.

6.) I'm very sad about the fact that someday soon I won't have any of my family in or around Rexburg. I've been spoiled with my brother, Nathan around since I came here and he's moving next spring after we graduate. I'm pretty sure I'll cry. My brother Kevin and his wife, Lena lived here for just over a year and that was so nice to have two of my four siblings here. We had a lot of family dinners. I still have my little sister, Lindsey who.. I guess isn't very little anymore since she just turned 20 Sunday, that is here and hopefully will be for a few years. I am hoping that a local boy will snatch her up and keep her here forever with me. I'm grateful that I have at least one friend (from college) that married locally and will be here forever and loves it. I know as soon as I'm finished with school I'll be around her quite a bit. I hate being alone! Jaren is very aware that I will be visiting family very often throughout our lives.

I have been tagged with this one twice. I think it may be time.

Thanks Wendyburd and thanks Jillene!

1.) I talk too much. When I graduated from High School I got all of my past grade reports and every single teacher, EVERY SINGLE ONE said I talked too much. I knew that. But I've noticed it more lately. I'll be sitting in a class and I HAVE to comment on everything. I HAVE to be in every conversation. I HAVE to speak or I feel forgotten. I'm horrible at keeping things in. Sometimes I talk Jaren's ear off when he would rather I not talk at all. :) I'm learning the times to be quiet and I'm getting better at it. (But I don't think I am an annoying talker)

2.) I have to have one foot out of the bed. (I asked Jaren what my quirks were and this is what he said) I have to have pounds of blankets around me and pillows to sleep comfortably. But sometimes that get's hot. So if I put a foot out it cools me off. Jaren thinks it's funny. I think it's great

3.) I am a thrill seeker. I LOVE riding roller coasters and when Jaren and I were dating we went to Vegas and I convinced (he's terrified of heights) him to ride the big shot (the ride at the top of the stratosphere) with me. He wouldn't do it now that we are married - he only did it because I told him I loved him for the first time the night before. I STILL and will always regret not buying that picture. The funniest thing ever.

4.) I hate being behind traffic. I pass at least one to two people a day on my way into town. I'm not patient enough to just wait until we get to town - no, I pass the second I get a chance.

5.) If I have one or two questions for someone I would rather text than call. Drives my husband crazy. I don't really like small talk. Texting is so easy! And totally invented for the convenience of people like me.

6.) I'm a people person. I want to have parties at my house. Whenever there is an event - I want it here. If there is a get together - I want to be there. My husband is the opposite :) He is very patient with me and I've promised him when we build a home our bedroom and office can be his hiding place. Sometimes I have a hard time being so far out of town. No one wants to drive all the way out here to visit lil ol me. I NEED friends and social contact or I go nuts.

7.) I used to not be as emotional. But I started on Birth Control 3 months before I was married and for some reason I would cry if Jaren said, "Are you hungry?" It was a horrible year and a half. Not only did I basically have morning sickness (for the whole year and a half); the entire time I would cry at the drop of a hat! I'm not kidding. All Jaren would have to do is say, "Oh, dirty dishes." and it was like I heard, "Whitney! What kind of wife are you?! I work and work so you don't have to and you can't even get the DISHES done?!" So I would start crying and he would feel horrible and I would sit there knowing I was being silly and I couldn't even help it. He learned how to deal with my emotional issues and it was a world of difference when I could finally stop taking them. I was finally free! But there are some effects. I still am a teeny bit more emotional than before I was married.

Wait. Does marriage have something to do with it?

Now I'm supposed to tag 7 people... I wont hold you accountable if you don't do it and if you have already done it, don't worry about it.
1.) Amber (that's what she said)
2.) Misti (Ramblings from CA)
3.) Wendy (Going Incognito)
4.) Alexis Treese
5.) Chelsi (again... but she never does my tags, I wont stop tagging!)
6.) Lindsey - come on sis! Start a blog!!
7.) Ariana - only when you have time!

Tag, More About Me!

I could care less that I have a dbl. chin in this picture. This is my niece, Claire. I want one just like her, wonder if I can pre order one now. (read the rest of the blog to find out why I chose this picture)

Post these rules on your blog. List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 regrets, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 facts about yourself.
Tag 3 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog!

I've been tagged by Jacque, thanks!

JOYS...
1. When Jaren comes home, especially when he comes home early (like 6 or 7)

2. Just completing my star(idea from amy) I didn't think I could make pretty, and I think it's pretty.

3. Having a home. I love being here and any break I get in school where there is enough time to run home in between classes (because I live 20 min out of town) I will.

FEARS...
1. Something bad happening to Jaren. If I watch a scary movie (or am just in a sad mood) where a husband was taken or something, I'll cry and cry and then Jaren comes home to find me in pieces and I tell him, very sternly, "Don't die. You are NOT allowed to die until I die."

2. Any of my family getting into severe car accidents and leaving this world before I say so(cause I'm boss).

3. Someone breaking into our home when Jaren isn't home. I live in the boonies, and who is going to hear me scream? Jaren thinks I'm crazy... but I don't.

GOALS...
1. To start exercising regularly again and try a diet (why not?)

2. To do well in School and not let myself get overly stressed out (because I do that a lot).

3. To have a baby sometime next year, preferably before December. Brrr, it is SO cold here.

REGRETS...
1. Not taking more credits when I was single so I could be done with school by now and wouldn't have to wait to get pregnant (I'm super baby hungry, can you tell?)

2. That I stopped running when I moved back to Rexburg from Utah.. it's never been the same since.

3. That I went to that dentist that took my one cavity and found 9. Maybe someday I'll tell that horrific story.

OBSESSIONS...
1. Blogging. It's a disease. (I can't get enough!)

2. Babies and pregnant women. Really... I envy them. Some of you may roll your eyes, but I want to be a mommy really bad and I know that I have to wait just a bit longer till it's the best time for both Jaren and I. But that wont stop me from wanting(and crying daily over how badly I want to be done with school and be a mom. It's true... now everyone knows me a little better).

3. Clothes. I look and look online all the time. I'm saving for my trip to Utah in a few weeks where I can buy a few much wanted things. Oh and shoes, I'm very very obsessed with those as well.

Facts about me...
1. I love to cook and bake. I just wont do it unless I have time (and there's not a lot of that with school) and unless Jaren comes home before 7(which doesn't happen until after about mid October).

2. I am a people person. I love to be around people, I love to meet new people. I want some friends that are close that don't mind that I live out here in the sand that like to hang out. Since I've lived out here I have felt quite lonely for friends. It' s something Jaren tries to understand because he grew up here, he has his friends he likes to hang out with. I lost all of mine throughout the years and moving out here. So... if your from Rexburg (and will be here forever, I'd like to make forever friends, here)(and almost basically friendless like me) and want to do something, please let me know.

3. I eat brownie batter. I love it(better than actual brownies). It happens about once every 3 months around the time I start my new 28 day cycle. It's just so good. I'll make it, and just sit with the bowl on the couch in front of the TV and eat and eat. Then when it's gross and makes me feel sick I cook it and eat the brownie's the next day. In fact, all day today I have been wanting brownie batter rather badly. Last time I did this was.... probably April or May and I couldn't find any brownie mix!! I about had a conniption until I realized I had a jar with all the dry brownie ingredients all pretty in waves sitting on my counter. Thank you Vicki for taking me to your Relief Society enrichment dealy where we made these. Because in about an hour I'm going to make it and add my own chocolate chips and eat it. Oh, after I borrow the egg (because it needs 3 and I only have 2) from my MIL down the road.

I tag:
1. MARY! (Because I know she LIKES it!)
2. Jillene (Because I'd like to know more about her and I think she's the only other blogarific BFF that doesn't mind being tagged... or am I wrong?)
3. Chelsi (my BFF from high school)

P.S. I got my hair cut yesterday and I let her try more higher layers because for those of you who don't know, I recently recieved a DRAMATIC hair cut and Ive been getting used to it. Trying to decide if I want to grow it out again or keep it short. Well.... I hate this. I'm going to have them cut another inch off because I think I look like a wet dog. Then I think I might have decided to grow it long again.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I know it was a touchy subject for some, but I value everyone's opinion and I hope to post some more blogs that will bring some pretty good discussion later
