8. I love you so much or I love you more than...Drew and I play a game he loves me more than the whole universe.

8 Things I Want To Do Before I Die (in no particular order)
This is more difficult for me. There are many things I would enjoy doing but none I feel I have to do before I die. With that in mind I would like to live long enough to

4. Most people are more insecure than they let on
5. Happiness is in your own hands
6. I am becoming more anxious as I get older
7. I can't diet successfully-I lose weight when I watch what I eat but don't "diet"-restrict myself.
8. I really, really want to have a girl.

8 places I want to see
1. France
2. Italy
3. London
4. Veracruz Mexico (Where Kjell served his mission)
5. Denmark
6. Russia
7. Hong Kong
8. Belize

8 things I miss
1. The freedom to take off when I want -not having to find a babysitter
2. Living in Provo-I never thought I would but going back makes me miss it
3. Sleeping alone in a bed for as long as I want uninterrupted.
4. Not having to worry about where I go because gas wasn't $4.50 a gal.
5. Having nice things that don't get broken or ruined by my very busy boys.
6. My brain- I used to have a really good memory but now forget where I put things, can't remember what I was doing-it drives me crazy!
7. Swimming laps
8. Spending time with Kjell's family- we don't see them enough we used to see them a lot more when we lived in Utah.

8 things I currently want/need
1. A House
2. A King Size Bed
3. A vacation with just my husband
4. A new Digital Camera
5. A new Laptop
6. Ice cream-I can't get enough and my current craving is Cotton Candy at Cold Stone-soo creamy
7. To get pregnant again
8. To find my wedding rings that I put somewhere last week and don't remember where.

So fun to read. I hope you find your wedding ring. We leave for Oceanside on the 10th so we are totally going to hang out! Can't wait!

I found my rings- they were where I out them but it was above my head so when I felt for them I couldn't find them. Then I got on a chair and they were there. Now if I could just not take them off!!

This was so fun to read. We are so alike in so many ways...our list could have been identical if I was doing some of the categories too. I had to laugh about the "4 piece chicken nugget" thing...isn't it the truth...it is just so much EASIER that way sometimes!! I too can't wait to own a home, have more kids (not anytime soon though!), be out of debt, etc. This was a neat tag!

I agree, that was really fun to read. You are one of my idols Sarah. You are so "together" or at least put on the illusion quite well. :) We totally missed you last week but I know how it goes with the whole brain thing. I thought mine would return once I was un-pregnant but it seems to be a more permanent condition than I was expecting. :)
