MY OBSESSIONS!!

Ok, so about half a month ago Kristen Johnson tagged me on my 8 obsessions. I totally missed my name at the bottom of her list, so I am so sorry Kristen that this has taken me so long, but here I go. Better late than never I guess! :)

MY 8 OBSESSIONS:

1. Travel- Travel is my absolute #1 passion. I would honestly travel everyday the rest of my life if I could. There is something about different cultures and people, different lands, different languages, different foods, etc. that totally invigorates me. I have had the opportunity in my life to travel tons and have visited well over 20 countries. My longer experiences in travel include: spending 7 months in London, England in a study abroad program with BYU, 1 1/2 years total (4 times back and forth from Utah)teaching english to children ages 3-18 in and traveling around Russia, and my 8th grade school year in Askim, Norway. My dream is to visit Italy and Africa.. SOMEDAY :-)
















2. Soccer- Soccer is the #1 best sport in the world, hands down. There is nothing like running around up and down a field with a soccerball. I could do it everyday, all day!!! I really miss being in High School where I played soccer about 5 hours everyday!



3. Black Licorice- I would honestly travel to Scandinavia and back just to get a bag of Scandinavian black licorice. I will honestly suck on a piece of licorice for 10 minutes or more just to savor the taste. There is nothing more tastey out there. YUUUMMMYY!!!





4. Christmas- Christmas and the Christmas season is my favorite time of the year. I start counting down for Christmas in February! :-) It is just such a cozy holiday full of love, joy, giving and sharing. I love having a time each year to remember Christ and his birth and how it brings families together. It just seems like everyone is a lot more happy and thoughtful during the Christmas season. ONLY 2 MONTHS TO GO! :-)
5. Sleeping- If there is ever some free time in my day, you will almost always find me curled up in my bed fast asleep! I just LOVE sleep! I don't understand these people, like Paul, that can survive on like receiving 5 hours of sleep a night....give me 10 or more, and I'm happy!


6. Running- a lot of people call me crazy, but I LOVE running!! Whenever I am stressed out, I take off for a run, and I feel calm instantly. I especially love running in the rain! I have ran 1 half marathon(Provo River), and two full marathons (Salt Lake, and Ogden). I am planning on running the Top of Utah marathon next year.



7. Cooking- I absolutely love trying new recipes and new cooking ideas. I'm not that great of a cook, but I have a lot of fun!! It's also a lot of fun to taste what creations you have made afterwards.






8. Taking surveys- So ever since my friend Dave introduced me to the joys of taking surveys and getting paid for it, I have been very obsessed and always squeeze in time to take a couple of surveys daily. Hey.. why not.. it's easy and you get paid! :-)
WOOHOO.. I am done and I tag: Cerra Hawkins, Haylee Skaggs, and Cheryl Rasband
