What is your favorite TV program? Why?
What is your least favorite TV program? Why?

The ONLY show I watch on regular basis {and that I loooove} is The Biggest Loser. Adam has become a fan as well which makes it more fun to watch. We also watch Modern Family when we get a second. Neither of us watch a lot of TV. In fact we hardly watch any television at all. We do all our watching on Hulu after the kiddies are in bed.

As far as LEAST favorite? Since we don't watch a lot of TV this one is hard. I don't like watching the news much anymore because it depresses me. Many of the stories will leave me sleepless some nights. I can be too sensitive some times...

What is YOUR favorite show?

What does one dozen eggs currently cost?
A loaf of bread?
A gallon of milk?
Of gas?

This is kind of a hard question because there are different varieties of products with varying prices. Therefore I shall give you the price of what I buy. Okay? Okay.

One dozen eggs large grade A= $1.20

A loaf of Granny Sycamore's whole wheat bread= $2.98
(I rarely pay full price because that's ridiculous but its GOOD bread.)

A gallon of Great Value 1% milk= $1.98

A gallon of regular unleaded from the Holiday on the corner= $2.99

There you have it. Stuff costs too much.

What is your favorite type of pie? Can you make it? Have you ever tried?

I think I would have to say Banana Cream Pie and yes, I have made it before AND after writing this post it time to try again. Practice makes perfect, right?

*What will you do after you graduate from high school? What do you want to do?*

It has been a solid 14 years since high school and a lot has happened. My plan was to get a nursing degree, get married and have some babies. Some things have worked out as planned. Some not.

Here is what did happen:

When I graduated from West Jordan High, I started at SLCC ( Salt Lake Community College) in Fall to start on generals for nursing. I messed around, dated a little, changed my mind about nursing, and went to a lot of dances with my older sister, Cyd.

As the age of 21 quickly approached and after a lot soul searching and pondering, I decided that on a mission was where I wanted to be. I spent 18 months teaching the people in the Southern most part of England (England London South). What an experience (We'll save that for another Monday).

When I got home I went back to SLCC, joined "Sounding Joy" (an Institute choir), had A LOT of fun and met a really sexy guy who, lucky for me, is now my husband. I finally got my associates in English a month before Kyle was born (phew!).

Sounding Joy before the "sexy guy" joined.

So yeah, I don't have nursing degree (still would like one) but I was married to the man of my dreams and have three beeee-utiful babies! Way to go me!

*What colors would you choose for your wedding reception?

What refreshments would you choose for your reception?*

{Since this photo was taken with my 7 beautiful nieces,

13 more grandkids have been added!}

Well, since I've been there, done that let's just take a walk down memory lane.

My colors were various shades of pink, white and some black. I can say that after almost 8 years {wow.}, I can still look back at my colors with satisfaction.

We did a kind of dessert buffet for refreshments that consisted of lemon bars and éclairs for Schmmidt's (where Adam used to work), and... I have no idea what else. I don't think I partook of any of it hence my brain cramp. I thought I had a picture of the buffet table but I can't find it. Darn. It was gorgeous...

just like my Honey.

UPDATE:

I found the picture!

Look at all the yumminess.

Not sure I'm liking this weeks question but I pulled it out so answer it I must.

*What is your shoe size? What size clothes do you wear?*

Everyone knows I have great big size 10 feet. And as for clothing, I wear a size 4...barely. I'm having to squeeze my rather plump post-pregnancy bum into those 4's... working on it. I guess I should be grateful my feet haven't gotten bigger too!

Journal Jar Monday's

Yesterday in YW's one of our wonderful teachers gave a, well, wonderful lesson on journals. She gave us a really cool handout that has me inspired. It's a little jar filled with little slips of paper that have different questions on it; questions about your hopes, aspirations, goals, thoughts etc.

I've decided to answer one of these questions at random every Monday. It will be fun to look back on these one day.

*What is something that always makes you feel sad? Why?*

I think I am an overly anxious person. All too often I think about something happening to one of my children or my husband. This inevitably makes me very anxious and sad for OBVIOUS reasons. It is my worst nightmare! When I have these thoughts it helps for me to remind myself that I have a testimony of eternal families and then I feel all better. :)

Gees, how's that for a sad start?
