2. I love to sleep. My ideal amount would be 9-10 at night and a 1hr nap each afternoon. Obviously doesn’t happen that way at my house. But, I am not by any means sleep deprived…thank you Lord.
3. I played 3 sports for ten years until I went to college on a volleyball scholarship. Softball was one of those that I played and never did actually like it. I couldn’t hit a beach ball with a 2x4. I loved it when they let someone hit for me (jade)! I once hit 12 people in one game (I was the pitcher…oops).
4. I am (was) accident prone. I broke my pinky in half in 1998…had shoulder surgery in 1999…herniated 3 discs in my back in 2000…had ankle surgery in 2001…reinjured my back in 2002, ending my college volleyball career. Not much of a “career” considering I was always hurt!
5. I had the best roommates/friends in college. Three of them recently flew in on a surprise visit! Sweet. I have also had one friend for 23 years now! Met in Kindergarten ☺
6. I have been pregnant 21 of the 42 months I have been married. Pregnant for 3 mths….a two month break….pregnant for 9 mths…seven month break….pregnant for 9 months! Wow, good think I actually liked being pregnant. Hoping for a much longer “break” this time.
7. I love stinging hot showers and the smell of clean babies.
8. I adore my baby girl, Journey. I have enjoyed everything about her and I fear that I will forget how it feels to be “in the moment” with her. It is a priceless feeling….a swelling of the heart.
9. I hate scary movies…actually I’m pretty hard to please when it comes to entertainment. I do love a romantic comedy though.
10. My favorite shows are 24 and American Idol. Don’t really watch anything else.
11. Raw meat makes me gag. I don’t like to touch anything that remotely looks like a dead animal. Definitely don’t cook meat that has bones in it!
12. I wouldn’t mind if we NEVER had a pet. I don’t care for animals…at all.
13. My heart literally breaks when I think about war torn African countries and child soldiers. I am also broken for the mass number of children orphaned by AIDS.
14. I can be lazy…disguised a “laid back.”
15. I am afraid of frogs…thanks to my mother. I was actually a very fearful child and young adult. I have grown in that area…I am no longer the baby of the house!
16. The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt someone’s feelings.
17. I am a blog stalker and I get mad when people (who are obviously busy and have more important things to do) don’t update their blogs.
18. I think I have the cutest baby boy ever born (and so does every other mother who has a son, I know). But come on…have you ever seen such an amazing blonde afro? Didn’t think so.
19. I love the concept and act of adoption. It is amazing to be apart of it. It is a reminder of how we were adopted as sons and daughters of the Most High King.
20. I have the worst (best) sweet tooth ever. Some of the favs…chocolate chip cookies, coldstone ice cream, dark choc. brownies, oreos and milk and anything peanut butter.
21. I am a dreamer…I love to think about the future.
22. I have never been west of Texas and NEED to go. I want to see the Grand Canyon and the Rocky Mountains.
23. I can juggle.
24. I often wonder…is this my life? Are these my kids? Is this my story…
25. The answer is always yes and it is always a wonderful realization. I am in love with the man I married and I am so thankful for my babies.
