Twice Tagged

I have now been tagged by Laura and Cassie. And since I am home for the Thanksgiving Holidays I am going to see if I can do this. So far, Dan has done it all. So, 6 things about me. I am sure you would find more interesting things if you were to ask my children...but here goes:

I love pink!! Just seeing pink makes me happy. I love to dress in pink, decorate in pink, sleep in pink. If there is someway to get pink into all aspects of my life...I will find it. And pink just goes so naturally with bows, lace, flowers, hearts, ribbons, lipsticks...anything!! To me, PINK is so neutral...it goes with everything!! This picture is of a Mimosa tree in my back yard and the flowers on it are pretty in pink! I also have pink hibiscus' and pink crepe myrtles!!


I pretty much hate ALL bugs. I don't like them in my house or by me. I will not post a picture of the ones I hate because there are too many of them!! I feel bad sometimes that I hate bugs because they were created by Jesus. But, they are just yucky and creepy and scary! I have far too many stories to share about my encounters with bugs as well. None of them are happy stories...I have had MANY bad experiences...I will leave it at that!

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been the reason for everything good in my life!! I know this because I see evidence of it everyday! The Gospel has provided the way for me to have an eternal family which just keep growing and growing. I found my husband in my Sunday School class....he was my teacher!! There is no end to my gratitude that Heavenly Father brought the Gospel into my life. I can get pretty preachy on this so I will stop. If you ever want to know the whole story, I will be happy to tell you!!




Two of my most favorite things are Sunrises and Sunsets. I take them very personally because I love and appreciate them so much. I thank my Father in Heaven for each and every one of them because I know that He knows how much I love them so I believe He creates special ones for me daily!! And you can never see them so awesomely as you can in Texas. With a 360 degrees sky it is so amazing! How can anyone not believe in God when He makes so many beautiful things for us every day of our lives??






One of my favorite things to do is go to a fun movie and eat popcorn for dinner! I am very easy to please when it comes to movies. I just do not like scary ones or inappropriate ones. I always enjoy the movie the second time around because there are no surprises and I am not nearly as worried about everyone in the movie. I feel I can say my favorite movies is: Pride and Prejudice (any and all versions). However....if it is a "chick flick"....bring it on!!!

I have many things which just make me happy other than the ones above:
Calls from my kids, time with my husband, breezy days, big blue skies, rainbows, babies, friends, chocolate...especially dark. Rain, especially at night so I can either go to sleep listening to it or curl up with a wonderful book and just read to my heart's content. The Scriptures make me happy because they are a witness to me that I am loved. I loves hugs and kisses, and smiles and laughter. I love sitting around with my family and just looking at their faces and seeing them happy. I am a MOM ... what more could I ever ask for?????? Oh, that is right....GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!!
So, now that I know how to do this, I believe I will do it more often and put lots of very fun pictures on our blog!!

Laura said...

Yay! You're post made me so happy! It's fun t read all those things about you. A month from today we'll see YOU!!!

Karen Nelson said...

No hints at all...just cold plain facts. But, no rush because it is y'alls decision. I will look forward to the day eagerly but completely understand some of the best things in life just take time!!

I am SO excited to see everyone at Christmas!! I have to be very careful not to overthink it...or I get nearly to a hyperventilating point...that is seriously how excited I am to see everyone again! Everyone remember....we are having a family picture...our colors are browns (pretty much any shade) and blue. Of course I wanted to say pink...but some of my people have spoken very unfavorably about another pink and blue picture. Hmmm...maybe they think I have overdone the pink thing...but NO WAY!!

Are we assigned a certain color based on our sex?

CORRECTION. Pink does not go with the background you chose on your blog cause I CAN'T READ IT!!! (Adam)
