Wants vs. Needs

So I got this idea from Kate's blog and I thought it was an interesting idea. What do we NEED and what do we WANT? So here are the things I NEED...

 Family

I don't know how many times my family has bailed me out in my life. I love my family and wouldn't change them for anything

 Brian

He has always told me that I should be able to live my life without him, because you never know what will happen. But I can honestly say that I need him in my life. He keeps me centered on what I should be centered on and continually is patient with my imperfections, which I have come to find that I have a lot of. I am grateful for him every day of my life and I love him more every day. 

Sports

It's simple, I could not live without them. 

Music

I love all of my 5 senses, but I think that I enjoy my ability to hear the most (with seeing a close second) I absolutely love music. There is nothing in the world that can calm me down better than music. It is one of my favorite things in the world

Water with Ice

A couple months ago I gave up Diet Coke. But since then, I have come to LOVE water! I carry my Nalgene with me everywhere I go. There is nothing better than cold water with crushed up ice. Yummy!!!

Being prepared

I HAVE to be prepared for everything. Whether its lesson plans at school, finishing an assignment for school, going to the store with a list, packing to go somewhere, I absolute obsess over having everything I need. I go through a mental check list everytime I leave my house and then once again getting out of the car. It might be border line OCD.

Faith and my knowledge of the Gospel

In times like these, I don't know how people can survive without faith and the knowledge of why we are living here on earth. We are living in scary times, but I am eternally grateful for my knowledge of what is going to come. 

Exercise

This is something that I really don't love doing. It hurts, I sweat, and for the first hour or so after I am done I never feel good. But recently I have come to the knowledge I have no choice but to do it. It is necessary for me to live a healthy life.  

And here is a quick list of my wants...

1. A trip anywhere! Preferably Disneyland, New York, or a tropical location.

2. A bodybugg. Its this way cool armband that tracks your calories in/calories out. 

3. To go to my cabin

4. My nephew!!! Down to a couple of weeks

5. Answers...its a little personal, but the best I can give on my blog. 

6. New running shoes

7. A bike

8. A house of my own

Everyone take some time to do this, it really makes you think.
