Aubrey, my one-time mission companion, tagged me for this Sevens meme.
Seven things to do before I die:
1. Learn to keep my temper and hold my tongue.
2. Take my husband and kids to Palmyra, NY and Nauvoo, IL (they've never been.)
3. Take my mom to Israel. She sent Alli and me years ago and we pledged we'd take her there someday.
4. Get out of debt!
5. Spend some quality time in Europe.
6. Serve another mission or four with my husband.
7. Find a fudge recipe that likes me as much as I like it.
Seven things I cannot do:
1. Go to bed with a messy kitchen. (Okay, it happens on rare occasions, but it really pains me.)
2. Cartwheel.
3. Dive head first. (Now you really know what a clutz I am.)
4. Go hours at home without checking my email.
5. Give up sugar.
6. Run a mile. Maybe someday.
7. Travel as much as I'd like to.

Seven things I say most often:
1. "Don't wipe your nose on your shirt."
2. "Don't tip your chair."
3. "I love you."
4. "Not until you've cleaned up this mess."
5. "Just a minute."
6. "This is the last blog I'm reading and I'll stop."
7. "I'm sorry I said that."
(Oh well, at least I say "I love you" a lot.)

I can't believe how many things we have in common! I really want to take my kids to visit the church history sites. They would totally love it. We have very similar tastes in books and movies. Have you ever read Just David
by Eleanor H. Porter? She also wrote Pollyanna. I think you'd really enjoy it. It's my all-time favorite book.
I started keeping track of all the different ones where I thought I was going to comment and say "me too" or share some common quip, but then there were too many and I lost track.
Loved it.
This is a rather sweet meme among memes! I love your list of 7 things to do before your die...
Your first two lists of seven? Wow, we are similar :) !! Why can't blogging buddies also live close to each other in real life?
Although I do have to say I can do a cartwheel :) !! I took gymnastics for 5 years, and then I grew too tall and started playing volleyball instead.
We do have a lot in common! Loved reading them!
It was fun learning more about you! I love some of those books and movies too, and want to read and see the rest.
I knew I liked you, your book list is the same as mine!
Also, my husband has a superb fudge recipe that turns out perfect every time. He got it from a girl who use to work at See's. Email me if you're interested!
