I’m going off topic today because sometimes it’s fun just to have random posts! (And I’m having problems finishing the post I was working on…ha ha!) Most of you who read my blog know me personally but for those of you who don’t, here is a little background on me!
- I love having a big family. It’s loud and crazy but it’s our loud and crazy.
- I only have one lung. I had one removed when I was 12 years old. You’d never know it by looking at me and I love to play sports.
- I have a perfectionism problem AND a procrastination problem! This blog is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I waited 4 years to start this blog because I didn’t think I’d do it “good enough”.
- My dream home would be an old Victorian home that I could turn into a bed and breakfast.
- I am the oldest child in my family. I have one younger brother who is 4 years younger than I am.
- In my extended family we have multiple sets of twins and a set of triplets. Even as a little girl playing house, I thought someday I would have twins.
- I have lived in 5 different homes since I moved out to go to college. Hopefully by this time next year, I will be in my “forever home” as Jason and I are in the beginning stages of building our home.
- I wanted to be a respiratory therapist until my high school science teacher told me I wasn’t smart enough (which was not true, but it ruined my self-confidence in pursuing that dream).
- I always swore as a child I would never marry a farmer when I had to help my dad with farm work. I’m sure he secretly laughs about this still.
- I love antiques and am just starting to love repurposing furniture. I’m currently repurposing an old dresser into a dress up closet for the 2 youngest girls. I will post pictures when it’s complete.
- In the next few weeks I will be canning spaghetti sauce to hopefully last all year. It’s not my favorite job to do but my family loves it.
- I see bits of myself in each of my children. My oldest and I are almost opposites. She’s laid back, I’m not. She has a much better sense of humor than I do. I’m competitive, she’s not. Thank God, each of us are different. It makes life fun and interesting.
- I recently cut 6 inches off my hair and have bangs again for the first time since I was in elementary school!
- I love traveling and would love to spend a vacation at the beach with my entire family. Each winter, Jason and I try to get away and have been blessed to go to Cancun, Puerto Rico, and St. Kitts. (I hate cold weather so going somewhere warm is always on my wish list!)
- I’m still not sure what I’d like to do when I grow up.
- I can read for hours at a time. I am most relaxed reading a book overlooking the ocean.
- I’m a much better planner than I am a doer!
- We have 4 outside cats that are our pets.
- I hated sea food as a child but love lobster and crab legs. When we traveled to St. Kitts a few years ago, I had my first fresh lobster. Delicious.
- I rarely watch television. I love the internet and I love to read. My husband loves to watch Fox news and sports so it works well for us!
