My super cool friend, Wendy, tagged me the other day with a very thought provoking tag.  It has taken me a bit of time to complete 'cause I had to think about it a little more but, alas, I have finished.  Thanks Wendy!!  It was an enjoyable tag and got me thinking about who I am!!!
You're a ROCKSTAR!!


  • I am. . .happy, outgoing and confident. 
  • I think. . .logically and practical.  I claim I have street smarts and Paul has book smarts, therefore, we’re a great team.  
  • I know. . . the gospel in its fullness is found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  (a little testimonial but it’s really the only thing that I absolutely KNOW - it’s what the rest of my knowledge is based on)
  • I want. . .to have a cleaner and more organized home.
  • I have. . . a perfect husband for me.
  • I wish. . .I didn’t love sweets so much.
  • I hate. . .birds flapping their wings next to me - eeby geebies!!!
  • I miss. . .when it was just Gib and me; when it was just Gib, Ruby and me; when Charlie was just born; when Eli was a baby; yesterday.  
  • I fear. . .I’m not going to  make the most of my time with my kids while they’re young, that I’m not going to teach them everything they need to know before they take on the world on their own.  
  • I feel. . . like I did when I was 18 and then an 18 year old calls me Sister Kroff and I realize I don’t look 18 - I’m getting older.  
  • I hear. . .  too much silence.  The kids started school today (8/11/09) and it’s too quiet!!!
  • I smell. . . too well!!  I believe it’s a curse as the nasty smells far outweigh the good smells.  Though it’s a total blessing during the Spring in AZ - the blossoms are to die for, divine!!!
  • I search. . . for answers to my never ending question of why bad things have to happen.  How much does God intervene and how much does he leave it up to us and our free agency?  And why does it seem He intervenes in some situations and not in others or is that just us trying to make sense of it all?
  • I wonder. . . (see above)
  • I regret. . . losing my cool with my husband and my kids, trying to get people to laugh at other’s expense
  • I love. . .  Paul, hearing my kids truly laughCharlie’s shy, nervous, excited smile; when my house is clean; when Paul laughs at my jokes; being completely relaxed; having my extended family over at my house; Red Vines and Milk Duds; an amazing photograph of my kids together; and the list goes on and on.
  • I care. . .about keeping the rules.  If a sign on the grass says, “Don’t walk on the grass” then I don’t walk on the grass.
  • I always. . . wear an original Angela Henrie around my neck - only the best jewelry for me.
  • I am not. . .into fashion, though sometimes I wish I was (except my jewelry is ALWAYS in fashion).
  • I believe. . . I can accomplish anything if I want it bad enough.
  • I dance. . .only in the comfort of my own home and only for my children and husband - I’ve got some mean moves but I keep them to myself.
  • I sing. . . at the top of my lungs only if I think nobody is listening.  Gib thinks that I could win American Idol if I tried out - do with that what you will.
  • I don't always. . . go to bed happy with my husband.  It’s my own pride and something I need to work on.  (A shocker for those of you that think I’m perfect).
  • I write. . . to-do lists almost everyday and only get half of it done.
  • I win. . .every bet Paul and I make (I do tend to change the rules as circumstances change).
  • I lose. . .my credit card and debit card too many times.  (I’m sure they’re in my pant pocket somewhere - this stresses Paul out so I don’t tell him until I absolutely have to)
  • I never. . . keep secrets from my husband (unless it’s regarding a lost debit or credit card).
  • I listen. . . to my kids tell me about their dreams from the night before.
  • I can usually be found. . . in my kitchen as it seems I’m either cleaning it or dirtying it by making dinner.  
  • I'm scared of. . . losing my husband or my children to death.  
  • I read. . . the scriptures and church books.  I love mindless reading but I’ve learned it takes me away from all my responsibilities so it has to be a super duper amazing mindless read.  I wish I could say I get lost in the scriptures and church books the same way I do with the other books but I haven’t reached that point yet - someday.
  • I am happy about. . .choices I’ve made and the future I have ahead of me.

IIknoI now tag my three beautiful sisters!!  Good luck ladies!!

Fun read -- so sad the kids are already back to school. I have three weeks left! I wish I could see your crazy dance moves. : )

A-M-Y, you're the greatest! Thanks for playing! I love that I can practically hear you answering each of those questions and that as much as you GROW and MATURE (heh, heh, heh) you're still the Amy we all love. (So mushy, what's wrong with me?)
AND, I've seen your dance moves - some are on tape somewhere I think...hmm, where is it?
