6- The May Ensign (not really a book but the conference talks are so good)
7- Readers Digest (does that count?)
8- The tweet tweet book to Chloee (Thanks DeAnn)


8 Songs I could listen to over and over:
1- I know that my Redeemer Lives by anyone with a good voice
2- A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief by anyone with a good voice
3- Face down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
4- Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park
5- Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie
6- Cupid's Choke Hold by Gym Class Heroes
7- 1234 by Feist
8- Animal I've Become by 3 Days Grace


8 Things that attract me to my friends:
1- Know all my faults and still love me
2- Are a great sounding board for venting
3- Don't care what I look like
4- Can eat a freaking sweet and not complain about it all day!
5- Don't judge me by the things I tell them
6- Listen and actually care about what I'm saying
7- Always know what to say to make me feel better (usually making me laugh, oh Amy dancing to Cupid's Choke hold was almost too much for me to bare)
8- Supportive in my decisions


8 Things I've learned this past year:
1- Your time and The Lord's time are NOT the same thing.
2- Patience is something that I have!!! (not a lot but more than I thought)
3- Forgiving and forgetting is truly one of the hardest things to do!!!
4- I am married to the best man in the world (I already knew that but after pregnancy and having a baby, I see how much he put/puts up with and I love him for that)
5- Selling a house is NOT fun!
6- That being a mom is the hardest and yet most rewarding thing I have ever done.
7- I weighed the same when my daughter was 15 months as I did when she was 6 weeks old. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is that all about?
8- Love can grow!

OK, I can't really tag 8 people, seeing as how all the people Amy tagged are the only one's I know that have a blog and some of them don't even know who I am. Oh well....
