Amy Farley tagged me a few days ago so I thought I would keep it going....
7 Random and/or Weird Facts about Me:
1. OK since I have been giving the opportunity....I have to get something off my chest. A random fact about me is that I think there are just too many famous people in the world today! I can't keep up with all of them. There is always someone new on the cover of magazines and I am always asking Nick - who is that? Where did they come from? How are they famous? I am so tired of people being famous for just being rich, or pretty, or just because their parent's are famous. There are so many people who are famous today who simply aren't talented. They are just rich and pretty and wear really expensive clothes. I am tired of these "famous" people telling us the "common people" who to vote for, what to buy, how wonderful they look after having babies since you know we all can have personal chefs and trainers. I know we don't have to listen, but it is everywhere! A little is alright, but there are so many now that you can't get away! I am really frustrated about this. It seems that many of them aren't very educated either. I mean so many of them aren't even talented....can't really sing...or act. I guess it is because of all of the reality shows that are on today there are just oodles of famous people, but I am just tired of it. I am ready for our society to change and not focus so much on these people. I am ready for well educated women to be in the spotlight more and to be the ones who have more of an influence our young girls. I am ready for some good role models for young women to arise. I am tired of famous girls selling out - I wish more of them would stand up for what is right and stick to it. Whew....
2. Another random fact about me is that I read my Bible every night. I have been wanting to do this for some time and about two months ago I decided this was it...I am going to do it. I have tried very hard to stick to it. I am really wanting to read the entire Bible. I have read lots of the Bible over in the course of my life, but never really started in one spot and finished. So that is what I am trying to do. I have started in Psalms and we'll see how long it takes me! It has been a blessing to go to bed each night after reading my Bible and it is really the best time for me. In the morning it is just too early and too hard since I usually have to get three people ready. I am not a morning person so the night time is great for me.
3. I love being a mom and wife. I knew my whole life really that I wanted to have children. I babysat for as long as I can remember - even helping my sister babysit when I was really young. I have always loved kids - really at any age. Being a mom is a tough job and I really didn't understand fully until I had my first child. I have learned that it is much more physical than I ever imagined. It is also much more mentally demanding than I ever imagined. However, it is the most rewarding and amazing thing. I feel so privileged and honored to be the mom of Luke and Sophie and the wife of Nick. What an amazing blessing. I also love being a wife. I love that I have someone by my side to live life with. I love that God gave me someone who is so compatible with me and helps me be a better person and loves me even when I have smelly breath in the morning and also when I get mad. I love that he loves being a Dad and that we are trying to figure this whole "life" thing out together even though sometimes we make mistakes. I am glad we have each other to learn and struggle with. These two things are so rewarding and I feel so blessed that God has given me the opportunity to be a mom and a wife. I try not to ever take it for granted.
4. I love Trader Joe's! I love their chocolate pudding and their tapioca pudding! I love their cheese sandwich crackers (they are much better than Ritz cheese crackers!). I really like that my hubby can buy wine he likes for under $3 and I like the white Zinfandel on occasion too and it is equally as cheap. I love their breakfast bars! I love that they have little children's buggies that Sophie can push around when we shop. I love that the selection isn't so overwhelming and I don't leave exhausted. I love their tea/lemonade...so yummy! I just love Trader Joe's, but wish it was a little closer to us.
5. My favorite department store to shop in is Nordstrom. I love how nice the sales people are and they aren't stuffy or pushy. I love the selection. They seem to have a wide range of prices and I like that so I don't have to go and spend a ton of money when I shop there. I don't go to the mall very often, but when I do I love shopping at Nordstrom!
6. I really like my red hair! I have always loved it and think it makes me different. However, lately I have gotten a little worried. I have always had people ask me if it is real...and of course it is so I say yes. However, lately I am starting to get grey hairs. I keep finding more and more of them and I am not sure what I am going to do. I have loved that I don't have to dye my hair and spend a ton of money at the salon. I love that I can tell people that yes, it is real. However, I am definitely not ready to go grey....so what is a true redhead to do? I guess I'll have to get highlights and then say....no it isn't totally real....I have highlights. I am not really ready for that yet....this getting older thing is going to take some getting used to.
7. I love working with teenage girls. They are so full of energy and so eager to learn about life. I love ministering to them and praying with them and for them. I love hearing about their life stories and what is going on with them. I love laughing with them and seeing God move in and through their lives.
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

Where is Trader Joes? Which one do you go to? The only one I know of is in East Cobb...too far for me. Is there one near you?
