Tags - Thanks A Lot Laura! :)

Honesty Tag
*8 honest random things about myself
*pass it on to 5 fellow bloggers
1. I am in love with photography. I haven't taken any classes so I know I'm not amazing, but it is my dream to make it into my own business that I can do to help support my family and to just have some fun!
2. I am a total dork. I may seem super shy until I get a little bit of a chance to get to know somebody, which consequently means that I might miss out on some friendships (like yours Laura - I'm still kicking myself for not getting to know you sooner), but when I feel comfortable around someone they will have the pleasure of seeing my retarded personality come out. :)
3. I am always on the lookout for a good friend. In more recent years I have grown apart from a lot of the friends I had...and true friends seem harder to come by. This is probably the hardest part of being a stay at home mom for me because my only really good girlfriends live 8+ hours away.
4. Like Laura I am also a in the closet singer. Whether its in the car, at home while I'm cleaning or rocking the baby to sleep, or even in the shower (everything sounds better in there) I LOVE to sing anything and everything. My husband always tells me I have an amazing voice, but I know that if anywhere it belongs in a choir where it can blend in. In other words, you won't be seeing me on American Idol anytime soon! Lol.
5. I am terrified of being in front of groups of people. Since I was just a little kid there has been very few things that scare me more than having to make any kind of presentation, speech, or basically do anything where I'm in the lime light and being forced to be face to face with people.
6. I don't like sweets. I don't like chocolate, ice cream, or most kinds of candies or sodas. Of course there are a few exceptions, but not many.
7. Not many people know this because its not something I'm particularly proud of...but I'm scared of the dark. Don't really know why...I guess maybe I just associate the dark with dark things. I could be happy living in almost perpetual daylight.
8. I love Love LOVE to dance! I haven't really been to any clubs or anything, but me and my little sis sure know how to bust a move when we hang out!!! We're a couple of crumpin fools!
