It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! And I've missed it! This week's topic is to define ourselves. Thanks, Rachelle....for giving me something I can really ramble on about!
So, in no particular order:
A Mama: Yes, I prefer this term over "mom," "mother," "mommy," or any other term out there for people like us. Cam is the person I do EVERYTHING for. Without him I honestly don't know what I'd be doing or where I'd be in my life. (Probably going crazy somewhere!)
A Wife/Best Friend: Steve is the FIRST person that I do everything for. We've definitely had our ups and downs, but right now, I can't imagine my life with him any happier.
A Loyal Friend: Throughout my life I've had many friends. Yes, we've fought (some of the fights were even too stupid to remember, really), but we're still as good as we were then. If someone bad mouths my friend I'm there backing them up.
A WEIRD Person: Okay, so if you haven't realized by now, I'm extremely weird. I admit it! I feel that if you're too serious about something, you'll get too bogged down. My philosophy is to live it up, if people call you strange, poo on them!
A Goody-goody: If I do something bad, I will not like who I am. I've ALWAYS been known to be in with the really good kids. (My high school group of friends was SO good, that there were times hanging out that we would end up having a major testimony meeting or deep philosophical discussion!) We were even known to leave a movie if we didn't feel comfortable with what was being shown. Honestly, I haven't really changed that much!
An Infertile Woman: It's not my WHOLE life, but lately it sure seems to take up a major portion of my alone thinking time. When I finally got the diagnosis for PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) I felt relief. I thought for sure that within a few months of taking the medication I would be pregnant, now I know that infertility is a process, a hard one, but something that is with you forever!
A Bubble: This can be many different ways: I've got a bubbly personality...drawing others to me, and I'm shaped a lot like a bubble! There was a General Conference not too long ago where a General Authority talked about accepting the shape you are, whether you're skinny, tall, short, or round. Once he said "round" I stuck my hand up in the air and claimed that shape! I am round! (You could call it fat, but I like "round!")
A Fighter: When I was younger this would have had a totally different meaning. I was the bully in my family. My younger brother and I would CONSTANTLY get into fist fights. Eventually, he got stronger than me...so I stopped! But now I feel that I'm a fighter when it comes to Cam. He's got a lot going on in his life, and I'm the only person who is truly looking out for his needs. I won't accept ANYTHING the school says he needs without letting them know what I think!
Bossy: Okay, so I'm extremely bossy!! It must come from being an oldest child. Sadly, my husband and son are also oldest children....imagine the fun we have in OUR house!
A Chatter-box: Sometimes this label is not such a good thing. I know that there are times when I'll say something without REALLY thinking about what I'm saying. But I've slowly learned over the years to slow down a bit and think before I speak. This is something that I'm working on!
A Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: This is the thing that I hold most precious in my life. All that I have I owe to being a member of my church. It defines what I do with my life on a daily basis. I am who I am because of the morals and beliefs that I've grown up with.
A Sarcastic Person: I wish you could use tones of voice when you type...I am SO sarcastic that sometimes when I type something, people will take me seriously...please NEVER do that...I'm mostly being highly sarcastic! I used to be TOO sarcastic, but as I get older I'm learning when to be serious and when to be sarcastic.
There really is SO much more to me, but if you know these few things, you have a general idea of who I am, what I stand for and why I say what I do.
If you want to play along, go ahead...but I'm warning you....it's very hard!

"I wish you could use tones of voice when you type..."
Isn't that what emoticons are for? ;)
That was a good read, thanks.
I wish we could have sarcastic tones for blogs too. I'm also very sarcastic and thats hard to put on a blog!
I keep forgetting about my life monday!
HAHAHA! I totally remember when we would get into fights. For some reason, they were always on the walk to or from school. I guess the arguments were bound to happen since we lived next to each other and spent so much time together. It was fun. I can pretty much vouch for all of the things you listed about yourself. It was fun to read!
How fun! You did great!
hahaha...this is a fun list. I am not sure that those who don't know you in person would ever guess just how "bubbly, weird, goody-goody, and sarcastic" you really are...but those terms are how I remember you the best! We sure had a lot of fun...but we sure were "GOOD" teenagers! I can only hope for teenagers as good as we were!
This was fun to read. I was a goody/goody, but I think I am becoming more jaded the older I get. I am still a good girl, but I have differing opinions now. I am sure you know that already.;)
This was a fun read!
