"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Honest Scrap

Katie tagged me at least a week ago and I've had struggles finding time to post. (obviously, since my lack of posting anything before now.)

So, here goes. I've done similar-ish things before so I'll try to come with something new.


It is called the honest scrap award and these are the rules...

A) First list 10 honest things about yourself--and make it interesting even if you have to dig deep.

B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of Honest Scrap...


(1) I really like ice cream. I could eat it all day everyday, but I don't because once when I ate too much, bad things happened. Things related to the bathroom and further details will not be released.


(2) I laugh hysterically sometimes at the faces Nathan pulls and at some of the things he does. But then when I try to tell people about it because it was so INCREDIBLY funny, they just smile and give a little courtesy chuckle. Why is that? Don't they know that my baby is the cutest thing on the planet? ;)


(3) My
first kiss was when I was 14. Not super proud of that age. But now kissing is going on way younger than that. What has happened to the world?


(4)
I sometimes wonder where I would be and what I would be doing if I hadn't gotten (surprise!) pregnant. But, honestly, those moments don't last very long.


(5) The thing that
hurts my feelings the absolute most is when somebody is mad at me or doesn't like me and I don't know or understand why. And when people don't forgive me after I've apologized several times. And when people I really care about don't support me and the things I'm involved in.


(6) I really like knowing
secrets about people. I know gossiping is bad. But if I find out for myself, and don't spread it to others, is that still bad?


(7) I want to be
crafty and make things to put around my house, but I struggle when it comes to ideas, designing the specifics, and wanting to spend money on things like that.


(8) I actually don't mind
sleeping by myself when Corey is gone. When he was gone for basic training, it was hard to get used to at first. Now, it's not as bad. Actually making myself get in bed alone is a different story. But I tend to sleep better when he's gone because I don't wake up every time he moves and I get to spread out right in the middle of the bed.


(9) Speaking of beds, I love my pillow.
It's perfect.


(10) I
love getting massages... full body, shoulder/back, foot... You name, I love it. But, not usually giving them. I know. Selfish.

Boring. I know. I tag...
