4. the beach/summer
5. chocolate

8 Things I say often
1. "NO!" (to all things Louie...)
2. "Sorry" (I'm one of those people that says sorry even when it's not my fault)
3. "Are you serious?!" (I say this to other cars when I'm driving... as if they can hear me)
4. "I'm tired" (I am. I am always tired... I loved naps and going to bed early - neither of these ever happen.
5. "Can you help me?" (I've been at my job for 18 months and I still always have questions)
6. "Are you guys hungry, when should we go to lunch??" (Everyday at 11am I am ready for lunch.)
7. "3 knee repeater!" (A classic move in any step aerobics class - I like to throw this one in there and see the variety of 3 knee repeaters... you'd be amazed!)
8. "Whose turn is it?" (I can never remember whose turn it is to pray, and there's only two of us)

4. Move out of Utah for a year or so
5. Figure out what my "niche" is in this world
6. Be in some sort of Fitness Competition

8 Things I learned from my past

4. Just do it - go on a mission, move for a few years, go away to school
5. Hard work really does pay off

7. My family really is cool
8. Don't be afraid to let your guard down

8 Things I want or need

2. Money (a really big savings account)
3. A beach house in Akumal

5. A shower with a bench in it... that would be awesome
6. A walk-in closet - or at least a reasonably sized closet
7. Personal Trainer (I need a good, hard workout)
8. More time to spend with Jake (cheesy, I know) but I like hanging out with my husband.
