I've Been Tagged!

Here are the rules: A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asks them to read your blog.

1. I just got finished reading Jill and Beki's tag. They both said they are shy or lacking in confidence... or just like to talk to people one on one, or just to very good friends. I'm afraid they take after me in this, and I take after my mother in this. She would much rather be on the service end of things. If I end up like my Mom, it will not make me sad at all. She is a good woman.
2. I arm wrestled Bo when he was 12 or 13, and beat him. If he had held on just 5 more seconds he would have had me! As it was he wouldn't arm wrestle me again for a very long time. He had no idea how close he was to beating me.
3. I have a very few really close friends, (like Bethly and Juanita who are now considered part of my family) but my dearest friends ARE the members of my own family. My Mom, my sisters and brothers and their families, my children, and my grandchildren. I love you all with every fiber of my being. You are what makes life enjoyable and wonderful. Thank you for that.
4. My priorities in my life change with each year. Evolve if you will. I see that I didn't always show my children how important the Savior is to me in my life. I now see how incredibly important it is that you know how much I want us to be together not only in this life, but in the next one as well. The next one is the one that is all important, and will be forever. This one will not be for long. Do you know that I love the Savior? That I know He lives? That He wants us to be happy? I'm so sorry I didn't share more!
5. I still love being a teacher. I love to help children learn, and I find I still learn so much every day. I too enjoy being with children, and I'm so glad I can be a part of one of the most important years of their academic learning experience.
6. I want my children to know how proud I am of them, of your growth, of your parenting skills, of the love you have for others. How you serve. Of the many talents you have, and please don't say this isn't about me. You are very much a part of me. I do adventurous things vicariously through Bo, I am tolerant and loving through Beki, I am strong and genuine through Jill, and I am fun and supportive through Leisa. These are just a few of the qualities I see in you, there are so many more. Please do not be offended in what I say, I certainly don't mean to ever offend. I love you all more than you will ever know!

This is just my response... but I guess we still just need to hear from Leisa and Bo.
