I was tagged!

Leah you tagged me - and to be honest if I didn't love you like I do I wouldn't answer this tag.  But you made it to look so fun and I hope I can do the same!

These are the questions Leah asked me.  I am supposed to then think up of 11 more questions and tag 11 more people.  But I think the boat is going to stop here for me, and I am just going to answer the questions.  I hope this is okay with everyone.

QUESTIONS:

1) Why do you blog?

I blog as a way to keeping evens, happenings, and memories written down and documented.  I use it as a journal.  It is honestly very therapeutic for me, and even though I don't think many people read my blog, I am hoping that one day my children will and enjoy the memories I have created for them.

 

2) What is one thing that comes easy to you, that doesn't come easy to others?

I love to exercise!  I could and would all day.  People think I am crazy, but I truly enjoy it.  I love to sweat.  I think I get this from my parents.  They were huge advocates of being fit my whole life.  

 

This is the RUST family - My Mom, Me, my Brother, and Dad.

 

3) What is your biggest regret?

I regret not being more open to my parents about the LDS church.  I regret not giving them more details about what was going to happen in the temple when I got sealed to William. 

4) What is your one guilty purchase? Something you splurge on and justify splurging on?

PEOPLE magazine.  I buy it every week and have for almost 20 years.  

I am a people Magazine junkie.

5) Where would you live, if you could live anywhere?

If money was not an issue, I would love to live in San Diego.  

6) How do you feel about cats?

HATE!

7) What is your favorite place in the whole world? Post pictures.

Washington Crossing New Jersey.  

I have spent MANY hours running the trails in this historic park.  My Mom's memorial bench is there, and I feel the closest to Heaven when I walking the trails.  It is so peaceful.

 This is Washington Crossing Park - and the sign that is in the entrance.  Pretty neat!

 Some of the trail and bridges that go through the park.  The park is huge - I was able to do a 20 mile run in the park once without repeating any trail.  It was magic!

 This is Max and I on the trail by the river, and then below is my Mom's memorial bench.

 

8) What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem our society faces?

Not educating children properly.  We are to concerned with test scores.  If we want to have a future with adults who are well rounded, we need to start by educating the WHOLE child.

(Soap Box - I am a teacher)

9) What is one of your pet peeves?

WHINING!  I hate when people whine.  It drives me bonkers!

10) What is one demographic that truly pisses you off, and why.

Adults who don't help themselves.  (That is a demographic right?)

11) What's the first thing you think when you wake up in the morning?

Why do I wake up at 5:30 every morning.

Thanks Leah!  That was fun and you asked great questions.  Made me think.
