Thanks for tagging me Katie Jane. I loved the comments on my nieces' blogs. Very few people have access to this blog so it could be totally pointless. Then again, if I enjoy the journey (the typing) it's not pointless after all.
Oh, I think 8 is a weird number so I'm rounding up and making it an even 10! And these are not in order of importance.
10 Things I'm Passionate about:
1. Being meticulously organized (am I? NO, but want to be very badly)
2. My family (I have the most amazing husband a.k.a. McGiver, and a daughter who makes me laugh daily)
3. Manners (oh to be raised in the south and taught to say "yes sir, no sir", "yes ma'am, no ma'am").
4. Quilting (however, I'm lazy about getting the darn things done.)
5. Old fashioned hard work
6. The smell of freshly cut wood
7. Traveling to cool places with my family
8. New England in the fall, it's so beautiful right after rain
9. My brothers and sisters and parents (I miss you Dad and David)
10. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
10 words or phrases I say often:
1. "you're such a dork"
2. "Continental Airlines, this is Tauna . . ." (waaaahhh, I'm going to miss that amazing job)
3. "Camille, wake up, it's almost noon!" (she'll wake up on time in Hawaii!)
4. "Be quiet, it's my turn to talk" (those precious 6 yr-olds in our primary class)
5. "Let's watch Ghost Hunters!"
6. "I don't know, what do you want for dinner?"
7. "Camille empty the dishwasher!"
8. "Camille scoop the cat box!"
9. "Where's my glasses?"
10. "Love you too!"
10 Things I want to do before I die:
1. Lose those extra pounds that are stuck on with super glue!
2. Be meticulously organized.
3. Travel as much as possible.
4. Learn spanish fluently.
5. Yoga every day. (I better get started)
6. See my whole family active in church, and endure to the end.
7. Get over my fear of the ocean so I can scuba dive. (here I come Hawaii)
8. Complete my 'cathedral window' quilt
9. Teach my daughter the importance of hard work and a strong testimony.
10. See a ghost!
10 Things I have learned:
1. How to push back an airplane (you know, when you just board the plane and they close the door and then you start to roll back? That's not done by the pilot, it's a person like myself, in a tug pushing you back!)
2. That people from Asia have the heaviest and most obnoxious luggage in the world.
3. It's great to be 40!
4. Utah has the rudest drivers in the world.
5. America has the best hotels.
6. Obedience is the key to all freedom.
7. Vinager cleans hard water spots in the shower (thanks Kim and Aggie from How Clean is Your House.)
8. You can accomplish amazing amounts of things if you stop watching television and do something.
9. Don't judge people too quickly, they may surprise you and be your next best friend.
10. You're never too old to learn something new.

1. Central and South America to the "Book of Mormon" ruins
2. Jelly Fish Lake (in the Pacific Island of Palau - they don't sting! Check it out on Google)

ya eww I went and goggles jelly fish lake. Scary that looked so groes!
So I am planning on meeting you in Hawaii. Jason finishes his bachelors in November and we need a place to celebrate! I just need to convince Jason that Hawaii is the place we need to go, so go check out all the cool places for us and tell us what we need to hit. I am not sure if I should bring the boys or not. But Carter would love the beach! He didn't want to leave San Diego. I would feel so bad if they were missing out. But then again I haven't been alone with Jason since we got married...oh the dilemma! If we don't have to pay closing costs on our house we might be able to swing it. Thanks for the cold sore advice, Carter is starting antibiotics today because we don't know what the heck is going on.
yeah, spelling isn't my strong point. Thats why I sniff hairspray all day. I "trades and sales" all of my stuff before I moved, and then I just started throwing everything else into the dumpster. I think I was so fed up with building and moving I went a little crazy with the dumpster thing. I have been trying to help grandma get rid of things, but I think we are going to have to do a little at a time. I think I'll pretty much have to get her started on "trades and sales" coming up real quick. She has no room for all her kitchen "stuff." It was crazy how many things got unpacked yesterday, especially in the kitchen department. Me and mom knocked out her front sitting room so thats done. Poor lady... she has to deal with Glen's aftermath. I don't think she has eaten decent in months. Everything in her cupboards and fridge was expired by at least 6 months. But I think she is doing pretty well considering what moving does to the brain. Well I am glad to see I have dedicated readers to my documentation of the madness blog.
