I got tagged by texasblu so I am going to respond to them. I may not get both done tonight but will at least get one done.
The first one Eight random things
Here are the rules
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts
2. Players start with 8 random facts/ habits about themselves
3. People who are tagged need to write there own blog and need to post their 8 things and these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to chose 8 people to get tagged and list their names don't forget to leave them a comment telling them to read your blog.
Now on rule four we will have to see if I can come up with eight people I have maybe two blogging friends that texasblu doesn't have so I guess email friends will have to do.
Eight random things about me...
1. I am addicted to food network shows all of them but most especially iron chef America, good eats, glutton for punishment, and ace of cakes.
2. My favorite books are all of the Work and the Glory series by Gerald Lund. I literally have some of them almost completely memorized from reading them so many times.
3. I have always wanted to be a Mom, I am not yet but it is still my greatest desire in life.
4. I love to drive, good thing since I live in Texas :)
5. I love to sweat. How unlady-like of me! But I do! But only when it is during something like working out or being outside for a hike, a walk or something like that. I do NOT like to sweat just to sweat or during an event of non-sporting nature.
6. Next to being a Mom I have always wanted to speak in public for a living. I love to speak to groups of people but one on one scares the daylights out of me.
7. I want to go on another mission. Would prefer it to be with my husband but I am going to go the next time I get the opportunity to do so.
8. I cried when I heard Andy Gibb died and then when I heard Steve Irwin died and those are the only celebrity deaths I have ever cried over.
As for my eight hmm...
next tag...
1. What is your favorite Bible verse?
Tough one but I really like Galatians but my current favorite is in Proverbs 3:5-8
" 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the lord and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."
2. What season of the year is your favorite? Why? Baseball season! :) Azure blue skies, perfect temps ( OK maybe only for spring training and post season if you don't like to sweat but see tag above) and it is baseball season really need I explain that!?!
3. Do you think homeschooling will continue to grow?
since I have considered doing so if I ever have children...yes I think it will.

Just four?
The Savior, of course
the remaining three are tough to pin down but...
my best friends in high school because they were/are true friends
strangely...Parley P Pratt, i have never met him never will in this life as he died long before I was even here but man his testimony and life have greatly impacted and influenced my life.
there are about a million others who have influenced my life greatly... my adopted Texas family, various Bishops, the wonderful people at the temple on Tuesday nights
5. What is your favorite non Biblical Quote? tough one but I guess...hmm..nope can't pin that one down too many but one I like to say is 6 of one half dozen of the other!

cool! I cried when Steve Irwin died too... who's Andy Gibb?
Who is Andy Gibb?!?!??? I am not that much older than you! He is the youngest brother of the gibb family, you know the BeeGees... Robin, maurice and Barry? He was a hottie about the same era as Shaun and David Cassidy Late 70's early 80's was engaged to Victoria Principal for a time and when she dumped him he spiralled down till he died of complications due to drug abuse can't remember think it was a heart attack...
lol - they are just the BeeGees to me - I never knew their names. I know who David Cassidy is and heard of Shaun Cassidy, and I know who Victoria Principal is... but missed out on Andy Gibb. Now I must check this person out...
so did he kill himself because she dumped him? Or was he already a drug user and was already down that path?
He didn't kill himself he died of myocarditis ( spelling?) which is inflamation of the heart muscle caused by a viral infection. His drug and alcohol use was not responsible but I am sure it did weaken his body.
He sang Shadow dancing (for one, he has others but I am pretty sure you know that one), was a co-host on Solid Gold for a time, and did broadway as well.
