The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself...

That being said, I'm pretty sure I have more then 8 fears...but I'll list my biggest ones!

#8:

Heights. Oh yea. I know I'm a rock-climber. But have you seen me climb with just anyone?! No. You can chalk that one up to Jessica Voqui (I still love you) since she dropped me when we were climbing once! Yeah-talk about making your fear worse.

#7:

Going blind. It runs in my family and I'd rather die before I lost my sight. (I'm sure if it happens, I'll survive-but I'd rather not find out)

#6, #5, #4:

Failure. Disappointing people. Not being good enough. (They all go together-and they circle my brain constantly)

#3:

Losing my two remaining Grandparents. I know it's inevitable-but I'm hoping they can stick around til I get married and have a few kids and maybe even a few grandkids. I'm ridiculously close to my Papabear and my Gamma is my best friend. It was hard enough losing my Grandpa Ron and my Grandma June. I can't imagine going through that all over again.

#2:

Scary movies. I know its ironic. But I hate them and I'm afraid of them-to the point that I refuse to even read what they are about.

#1:

Hobo spiders. Not all spiders. Just those nasty Hobo spiders that sneak into your basement, climb up your bathroom walls, and chase you when you find one. (Uncle Mike-you are still on the crap list for letting one jump on me when you were trying to feed Petey. *SHIVER*)

9?! 9?! I hate multiples of 3!!!

Better get this one over quick!!!

"A heart full of love, A heart full of song."

#9:

Orin and Bryant told me that I have way to many of them. But I don't care! I can't get enough of books. And I don't want a kindle, because I love to touch my books, I like to smell them, and I write all over them. In short, I love books.

#8:

I love the temple. When I was younger, I thought that I loved only the Idaho Falls temple, but then I feel in love with the Washington DC temple, and now I love the San Antonio temple. So I've learned its not the location, but the actual temple.

#7:

I think its important to know that along with temples, I absolutely love the Gospel and being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (in sense, a mormon). With all the recent challenges and political comments recently, I just want it to be known that I am Christian, that I believe in Jesus Christ and that I know Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. My testimony is surrounded by love for the gospel and love surrounds me. =)

#6:

Oh yea. Me and sleep-BFF's for life. Seriously. Give me a soft blanket, some pillows, and a bed and I'll snuggle down. I nap like a champ. And when I say nap, I really mean I sleep for 2-3 hours at a time. I love sleep. And I don't get enough of it!

#5

I love my 3 best friends. I have been so lucky to find 3 very different people, who each make my life so much better. My life-time best friend, Heather Anne. My college best friend, Stephanie K. And my adult best friend, Jessica TB. There are many other important people in my life, great friends who have impacted me and I love them all-but these three girls I love more then words can describe. Their friendships have changed my life for the better and despite how things may change, they will always be a part of my life.

#4:

My family is also another love of mine. Although they drive me crazy, they also support me and their encouragement makes me work harder (especially when I feel like throwing in the towel). I'm grateful for such a large family-who will drive 28+ hours to come see me, who will spend an entire day cooking for me, or who will let me call and rant at all hours of the day. My family is far from perfect, but I would not trade them for the world. I love them fiercely and completely.

#3:

There is a special place in my heart for this particular family member. My PapaBear is my hero. I always struggled with feeling so different and then I realized, I'm not different. I take after my grandfather-a person who defeated all odds and became something amazing. Our relationship is something that is very important to me and something I love.

#2:

I love musicals. My favorites are Les Miserables, Wicked, and Rent. At times, I wish my life were an actual musical.

#1:

My number one love is my scriptures. My Gamma got me my scriptures for Christmas when I was 15. They were the first set I had ever had and they had my name on them. Now, they are old and full of my markings. They show the growth of my testimony and my knowledge of God. They also show the struggles I faced and how I overcame them and stayed close to my Father in Heaven. They are the most precious thing I own and I love them so very much.
