#2. Describe 3 legitamate fears and explain how they became fears
WEEEEEELLL
#1. Im am aboslutely terrified that I will fail as a wife and mom. I suppose this comes from watching others fail (not my own, thank you Lord). I will do everything I can to not let this happen. I want to make my kids (whenever they may come around...not for awhile though) and my husband proud and feel supported and nutured at all times. I think that there is so much destruction of families, with people who you'd never expect that it just terrifies me that the world can destroy it all.
#2. I am scared to death of snakes (and chickens and armadillos....but I have no rationality for those two so we're sticking to snakes). I remember being little and making my mom check my sheets at night for snakes. I was CONVINCED there was a pit of them at the foot of my bed in the tucked in sheets. I cant pinpoint the time the fear began, but Im sure I saw something terrifying in school or on tv. I do remember being forced to walk through a bus full of freakshow snakes that were all crazy colors, deformities, etc. Im sure that didnt help. I hate snakes. All kinds, sizes, colors, drawn, real, photos, ALL.
#3. Being trapped in small spaces ESPECIALLY in a car that is going underwater. I used to think it was just the car issue, but when I watched the World Trade Center movie, I learned its small spaces as well. My heart starts to pound and my breath gets real short. I cant watch the action movies when a car dives off the bridge into water....I close my eyes every time. I think I would panic so much if it happened, I wouldnt be able to get out and would quickly use all the air. I know it sounds crazy that this is a fear, since I live in Oklahoma and well, we dont exactly have lots of places to accidentally end up in your car in water haha. BUT its a fear and a big one.

May the Blogging Begin: 20 Facts
I am being a copy cat, haha, and going to steal my sisters list for blogging. Why? Because I love to blog but dont make the time...and it seems like a pretty fun thing to do! So here's the list and I will start with #1. I am not sure how often I will do it. I dont want to commit to weekly, daily, or anything like that. But the subjects excite me so we will see how this goes. And thanks Jana for having better resources and ideas than I do! xoxo
2. Fritos are my favorite chip. ESPECIALLY when served with French Onion dip. I could eat a whole bag in one day.
3. My mom is my hero. She's the strongest, most incredible woman I know and I hope to be just as strong and centered as she is.
4. One of my favorite memories is M&M brunches. I think that we should re institute them as MJ Square brunches. They're the most fun you can have before noon.
5. I avoid confrontation at all costs yet I love to debate. So much that it has gotten me in trouble a few times. There are a lot of things that I can overlook and let slide but if I feel my rights or someone else's are being crossed...I have to speak up.
6. I cannot wait for the day I am a soccer mom and homemaker ( complete with minivan). Its my hearts desire and always has been. And not for lack of desire to work, but because I desire to be the kind of mom who does it all and has it all together for her family. My heart is to serve my family.
7. There are days I feel like I will never overcome my battles with weight. And some of those days I am somewhat okay with that. And others it completely devours my thoughts and emotions making me think that Im a horrible person. I wish I could get past it but its absolutely the hardest thing Ive ever known.
8. I dont do well around or with older people. They make me uncomfortable and I dont know how to handle it. Its like I forget how to have conversation or behave. And that worries me....since we all get old.
9. I have irrational fears of chickens, armadillos, and cars submerged in water.
10. I knew I wanted to marry my husband 2 months into dating him. It took me 3 months to tell him I loved him...in an around the bush kind of way. haha He caught up to me 3 months later and it was the greatest moment of our dating life.
11. Laser Tag is possibly my favorite active activity. I get very competitive and extremely upset by the bratty children who dont follow the rules. (See, even now Im irritated writing about them haha)
12. In a perfect world, where money didnt matter, I would do some form of theatre involvement full time. I think it would the perfect thing. But in a world where I have to help pay bills which also means I have to work 8 hours...its just not feasible. However, if it were, I would quit my job tomorrow. Theatre is in my soul and there's no denying it.
13. I want another dog. But Im scared that Peanut will not adjust and it will just be complete chaos. Im also always worried that one dog will "snap" and hurt the other one. Ive seen it happen before and Peanut's even been a victim, but I hope one day I get over that.
14. When I think of dream homes, I dont think modern or grandeur. I think of a nice, warm tone, cookie cutter home in a good school system with a nice backyard. Thats the kind of place I want to live. Thats the kind of place I want to raise a family.
15. My deepest fear is that I will fail as a mother and wife. Nothing scares me more in the world.
16. I have learned that I am terrible at maintaining friendships. Not only am I terrible at it, I am jealous of those who arent. I havent always been this way but for some reason I cant remember how I did it before.
17. Musicals make my heart sing. I grew up on the classics. Summer Stock is my all time favorite.Annie makes me laugh. All of my own performances make me nostalgic. However, if I am cleaning house or crafting my choice would be Madea Goes to Jail (dont hate).
18. I miss singing in choir. I quit one choir/praise team for theatre which led me to a new choir. I quit the new choir to date my husband more or less. And now, I am in no choir and miss the feelings you get when you're singing with others (choir, theatre, or otherwise).
19. I want to take my husband to New York more than anything. To show him the things that flood my mind any time we watch ANYTHING that was filmed in NY. To let him feel the energy of the city. But Im not sure how to make that a reality without breaking the bank.
20. There are very few things that can brighten my day as instantly as hearing "Ant Mallowy" from my niece Kynlee. Shes the most precious 5 year old I know and I feel blessed to be her aunt. Its a joy to watch her grow up, though it sure does make me feel old!
