Honest Scrap Tag

I have been tagged with the Honest Scrap from MarjAnn. Rules are: post 10 honest things about yourself. 2. Pass along to 7 bloggers... 3. Have fun. Well I don't think I even have 7 bloggers to pass this on to, so if you are reading this, consider yourself tagged.

1.Honestly, my husband is my best friend. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful husband who takes amazing care of his family. He is the hardest working person ever and fulfills all of his roles so well. He is a great example to me. Thanks hun, I love you.

2. Honestly, I love my children with all my heart. They are wonderful children and they teach me so much. How perfect Heavenly Father's plan is to include being a mother and wife and raising children. What else could you love so completely and strive so hard to be better for? I love to hear the funny things they say and watch the funny things they do. And to hear randomly from your 3 year-old, "Mom, you're great" just fills me with joy!

3.Honestly, I love to exercise. Sounds crazy, but I really do love to exercise. It helps me be better in every aspect in my life. I even love to involve my kids. It's pretty funny to have Madelyn doing aerobics with me or catch Drew pretending to be a ballerina!!

4.Honestly, I do not like to spend money on myself. If I have to buy Jed, or the kids clothes...fine. But to buy them for myself? Much harder. Some of my shirts are starting to look like limp lettuce, so I decided I wanted cash for Christmas to buy some new clothes. I still haven't spent it! I keep thinking I should buy something else with it. Confession: I actually do like to buy exercisy things though.

5.Honestly, I could eat a whole tub of ice cream....in fact I have. Not recently, but I probably still could! That's probably why you all are thinking...."Jeannette likes to exercise?!" Yes, then I botch it all up when I succumb to the whisperings from the freezer!

6.Honestly, Kung Fu Panda is probably one of my favorite shows. I am a kid at heart.

7.Honestly, I enjoy learning how to be more domestic. I love learning about food storage, how to cook new foods, learning you can make your own laundry detergent..that intrigues me. I want to learn how.

8.Honestly, the food I am craving most lately is Bajio or Cafe Rio. To me they are the same. I just got the recipe for their meat and special ranch. I can't wait to make it!! By the way, I'm not expecting.

9.Honestly, I love to read. I haven't found much time as of late to do it, but I love it. Mostly I read self-help books because if you know me, I need a lot of help!!

10.Honestly, the gospel is the most important thing of all. I'm so grateful for the Plan of Salvation. Life is so unpredictable. I love the prophets counsel to live for today. You never know what tomorrow will bring. I'm so grateful for the joy that the gospel brings--no matter what hardships you suffer the gospel still brings joy. It truly is the Good News!!
