Confessions.

I'm always a little behind, but I'm okay with that. I loved reading everyone's six confessions posts recently, and am finally getting around to make a list of my own. So here you go.

1. When getting into bed at night I have to run and leap in because I'm still afraid there may be something hiding under there, ready to grab me by the feet.

2. I hate pepper.

3. I don't really like food. I just like candy, and it's a problem.

4. I want to name my first daughter Dandelion more than anything, but I'm scared everyone will convince me to do otherwise.

5. Every time someone calls me "Ash", I automatically shout "LEY" inside my head. Don't ask why, I don't hate being called Ash, I'm just weird.

6. When I was a kid I thought "Queen of the world" was a real job, one that I was going to have someday.

Well, that's all for now. I could make a much longer list with all my quirkiness, but I need to go leap into bed already.

What I Know For Sure.

1. They are beautiful:



2. Diamond looks adorable in the bow I made her:



3. Shereen is an amazing artist:



4. Joshua likes to drink beer:



5. Jordan doesn't exactly follow directions:



Now, let me explain that last one. I sent him to the store to buy a patch for our air mattress because we had company this weekend. He came back with a machete. I'll give him some credit because he did buy the patch. But really, who buys a machete late at night from Wal-Mart? Apparently my husband.

Tag, You're It.

Uh oh, I got tagged by Iris. Now I'm supposed to post seven random facts about myself. This is gonna be pretty easy cause I'm so new to this whole blogging thing, and nobody knows much about me. Except that I love my dogs, husband, and making crafts. So here we go! (That was said in my best Mario accent)

1. I love Jesus. Nuff said.

2. I love school. So much, in fact, that it took me almost seven years to get my Bachelors degree in Liberal Studies. Now I'm in grad school, and am actually really enjoying it. I'm attempting to get both my special ed and multiple subject teaching credentials. I want to teach Special Ed, but I'm getting the other just to fall back on. In case I get burnt out, I'll teach 1st-3rd grade. See I really do love school, I plan on never leaving the classroom!

3. My sister is a fashion designer, and she's darn good. She made my wedding dress and I loved it so much. She also made the bridesmaids and flower girl's dresses. Oh, and the dress my mom wore. Yeah, she was stressed OUT the week before my big day. I, of course, was calm like always, HA HA HAA. This is also a really good excuse to show off a couple wedding pictures ;) Once I figure out the link to our slideshow, I'll share that with you as well.

4. I'm afraid of the dark, and of clowns. Seriously afraid. I can't even post a picture of a clown here because I don't want to look at it. But those are just two of my irrational fears. I don't really want to embarrass myself by listing them all here. Here is a happy picture to get your mind off of clowns, yikes.

5. I collect children's books. I especially LOVE LOVE LOVE picture books. I'm currently trying to collect all of the Dr. Seuss books, and I have quite a few already. I finally made a list so I could check them off because it started to get really confusing (Yes, I have 3 copies of Oh The Places You Will Go). I'm just worried that when I have kids they are going to ruin mommy's books. I think I'm a little over-protective of them?



6. My hips pop in and out of place so it makes Yoga really easy (sometimes). This is how I sit "Indian Style", and I don't feel a stretch at all.



7. I love moccasins. I have been wearing the same type since high school. Yes, since like 1999. I used to have to buy them in little Native American shops. Now they sell them at Nordstrom. I wear them with everything from dresses to jeans. I swear I have yet to find an outfit that doesn't go with them. You may disagree, but I'm not listening to you LALALALA.



K, now it's my turn to tag people. Problem is I'm new to this whole blog thing so I don't have enough names/blogs. Besides, Iris already tagged most of them, boohhoooo. Hopefully these lovely bloggers haven't been tagged yet: Shonna,Hannah,Chelsea, Emalie, Emily Anne
