1. Busy/Goal (and list) oriented
I always have a list or 2 around with things on it I need to get done. Preferably by a certain date/time. This means that I absoloutely cannot sit still. I have a hard time just sitting around doing nothing i.e. watching t.v. I am a definite busybody. (Maybe not so much when I'm in my last trimester, though. I'm finding it easier and easier these last few days to just sit with my feet up.)
2. Fit (at least before this whole "baby-making and feeding" body took over)
I love to work out. I have even learned to love running. Before I got pregnant this last time, I was working out 3 times a day and it's been really hard not to keep that up. I am addicted.
3. Low maintenance
It's hard being married to someone like Morgan (whom I love MADLY) and still be this way. But give me a diet coke and good book over a fancy dinner any day. Well, unless it's my birthday...
4. Balanced
I try to stay pretty well-rounded in my life because I think balance is key to keeping composed and sane. When I'm organized, I'm not frazzled, when I'm working out, I feel in control, when I do things for others, I feel charitable, etc etc.
5. Opinionated/Educated
Some would almost say too opinionated...I like to think of myself as just passionate. I added educated because I think that on the topics that I consider myself opinionated, I am also well informed.
6. Daughter, wife, sister, mother
I know that there are 4 words there, but it's my list. I love being married to Morgan, I love being Max's mom, I love being my mother's daughter, and I love being a sister. I have great people that surround me and influence who I am with the great characteristics they all posess and I love that they make me a better person. Max helps me every day with my patience but also shows me unconditional love. My mom is a great example of endurance and also of making opportunities out of your hardships. My sister Tracie is a great example of how I wish I could live the gospel. Jenn used the word generous in her list, and I would emphasize charitable. Liz is so smart and free spirited. Morgan is an example to me every day of devotion. He works so hard and I know he's doing it all for us. I love that he cares about our well-being and has chosen this career for the sole purpose of taking care of the needs of his family. He is so strong and I love him so much for his sacrifices.

Good choices. Very well done!!
Aww, I'm so glad you caved! It's fun once you get going, and you learn about yourself. Fun fun fun.
Aw, you caved! I'm so glad! See, it's fun to do and you learn about yourself when you do it too. Fun fun fun. And I don't know about the free spirited thing...
Ok, for some reason my comment didn't post. So, I'm going for try #2.
I like your list. But I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you aren't low maintenance. In fact, you're the highest of us all. Seriously, I'm glad you think you are, though!!!
Your list is sweet. The last word (or 4) was cute. Really sweet. To everyone you talk about. :)
I can't tell you how much i appreciated your words! i'm seriously crying here!!!
Your words fit you perfectly and i would have to add: PATIENT, TENDER-HEARTED, & FASHIONABLE. The life you lead with a husband you never see (because of school and studying) is a testiment of your patience and understanding. You have always been the tender-heart of our little gang because you are so sensitive to others feelings and of course our "fashion-guru" we all love your style and envious of your hairstyles (which look fabulous everytime you get it cut)
Great activity for us to do so thanks LIZ!!!
mine didn't post either!! weird! let me try this again.
