random~

because i could not sleep last night i decided to do this but then must have saved it instead of posting it. oh well it has been a while since i have done one of these and this one seemed interesting. enjoy!

(thanks E for having something fun on your blog for me to copy in the middle of the night=)

1. what is the bravest thing you have ever physically done?

i would have to say my back surgery. i was terrified at first. i heard all kinds of horror stories and almost everyone i talked to was concerned or had stories of someone they knew where something went wrong. however i was very lucky! counting my blessings =) it went great and i have not had any problems since.

2. what is one talent you wish you had but don't?

i wish i could sew or quilt well. i can do very basic things but i definitely know my limits. i guess we will see how it goes. i am trying something a little out of my comfort zone with the baby blanket i am working on.

3. if you had that talent, what would you do with it?

A LOT!!

i would love to make quilts, gifts for others, decorative things during the holidays. oh well maybe someday!

4. what is the bravest thing you have ever done emotionally?

stand up to my ex step mother and tell her how i really felt about our relationship.

(it was also right in the middle of planning my wedding. maybe that is why i ended up in the hospital a month before my wedding with stress related stomach issues =)

5. we all have our reasons for blogging, what would be your ultimate goal for your blog?

i would say honestly just to record our day to day life. i try and keep a journal about more personal things, but i have to admit that i love the idea of being able to look back at this over the years and see how much my kids have grown and changed. even just funny things they do on a daily basis. plus i hope this never happens but it is another record in case something ever happened to me, they would get to have an online journal of sorts from me!

6. what advice would you give a new blogger?

blog about whatever you want & however often. i blog frequently but others just blog a few times a month. i find it almost therapeutic to blog sometimes. also be honest about your life. its yours. you don't have to make things up because your worried about who is reading it.

7. what are your 3 favorite blogs to hit?

to many to count. usually it goes friends, photography, layout blogs. in that order

8. if you could trade lives with anyone for a month, who would it be and why?

i honestly don't think i would change. i know it sounds cheesy, but i am pretty happy with my life. i would miss garran and the kids too much if i left for a whole month =)

9. there is a fire. your family is safe and you have time to grab anything, what is it?

pictures!! with out a doubt and my kids baby blankets i made them. things that would be harder to replace i guess.

10. you have a chance to go back in time and change anything, what would it be?

i would have a different wedding photographer.

silly i know, but it is a serious regret i have!
