Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears

1. I am afraid of riding in a truck and falling off of a cliff.  I had a recurring dream when I was a child that I was riding in a truck with my dad and we fell off of a cliff.  It made me deathly afraid of this happening, I’m still afraid of it to this day.

2. My child/children being kidnapped scares the crap out of me.  The constant news of children being taken from their parents is why this became a fear of mine.

3. My house burning down because I’ve left the clothes dryer on when I’m not at home.  This fear originated from my mother as a child, she mentioned it once and I’ve been a little nervous about it since.  Not afraid enough to not let it happen, but it is always in the back of my mind.

Describe your relationship with your spouse.

My relationship with Tim is wonderful.  We communicate well, whether it be good or bad things.  We have fun together, and we help each other.  He makes me laugh.  We take care of each other.  We have our ups and downs, like any other relationship, but we have more ups than downs and it takes work, and its totally worth it.
