Following up on the Tag

My friend Angie tagged me earlier this week so...here it is :)

1. What I'm passionate about: Life and finding the joy and meaning in it.
2. Things I want to do before I die: I want to have a happy family that loves each other and that loves the Lord. If I have that than nothing else really matters to me. But on the fun side of things I would like to go sky diving, heard cattle on an over night excursion, go surfing, perfect the art of baking the perfect chocolate cake and be a world traveler!
3. Things I have learned from my past: That it is not worth it not to forgive. That having good friends really is important and that they really do help mold the person that you become (I have been blessed with awesome friends whom I LOVE). Life is better when you study the scriptures, pray with purpose and serve others. Family really is the most important thing in life and serving others when you are feeling down is generally the recipe to a better day.
4. Places I'd love to see: Prague, Italy (especially the Almafi Coast and Rome), I would love to go back to Spain with Matt and lay on their perfect beaches, Really I would just like to travel all around Europe…Any where would be awesome. I would also like to travel the good ol’ US. I would love to go back to Boston with Matt since that is where he served his mission, I would love to see New York City and go lobster fishing in Main and I would really love to take a vacation to Barbados…just because it sounds exotic and wonderful!
5. Things I currently need or want: A house…but this is more a need than a want and I just need to be patient. I also need a hug right now. Is there anyone out there giving them out right now?
6. Favorite TV shows: The Office…I freakin’ love that show! American Idol, I am a junkie. And I am also embarrassed to admit that Friends and Seinfeld are still at the top of my list for my favorite TV shows…what can I say? I just can’t let go of the past 
7. Favorite restaurants: Paradise Bakery (basically this is just for their cookies), Pikes Place Chowder House (Best Chowder in the world!), Raw (a sushi place) and CafĂ© Rio…I miss that place like crazy.
8. Things that happened yesterday: Yesterday was a good day. I had an interview yesterday morning that went decently well. And then my friend Genny and I went hiking up to Beacon Rock and it was gorgeous! It has been raining pretty steadily for the past two weeks but yesterday it was sunny and beautiful. We had so much fun. While on our hike we made friends with some little old people that told us about this mineral springs resort just a little further down the road. So we went and checked it out and it was beautiful. While we were there we treated ourselves to a delicious Cobb salad. We felt like we were at an exotic location and it was a lot of fun. Then I came back to the reality of my life and went to work…that was the worst part 
9. Things I look forward to: I am super excited about going home to Utah for Christmas. I really miss my family and friends. I am looking forward to finding a job so that I can feel like a whole person again that actually does something to benefit society. I am excited for summer to come so that we can buy a house here in Washington and start our own little family…I think that I am starting to get baby hungry!
10. Things I love about fall: I love every thing about fall. It is the most beautiful time of the year to me. I love all of the colors and the cold crisp air. I love big sweaters and cute boots and the anticipation for Christmas to come. I have also discovered that I love Pumpkin Patches! They are so much fun 
11. Things on my wish list: That the stock markets will start to behave themselves so that my husband won’t have to work so much overtime and I can actually see him during the week. A house…is any one getting the impression that I really want a house??? I would also like a puppy…but I think I want a house first  I am such a brat.
12. Who I tag next: My wonderful sister-in-law Betsy…whom I love.

Misty . .I havn't seen you since high school . .I know that we wern't like best friends or anything but I was just going through some of the blogs on the Hurricane High Alumni blog that Steph put up and when checking out your blog realized that you live in Vancouver too. It's funny but my husband also works for Fisher Investments as an Investment counselor . .we moved up here in August . . we are actually in Washougal which is on the other side of Camas. The economy has been a little crazy huh. Anyways if you want to get together sometime then just let me know. I don't know if you are into the Twilight Books or not but I am going to the movie next Sat w/ a group of girls from Utah . .if you want to come your welcome to.
