with my blog posts lately! Lots going on in the last month, and soon I'll post a re-cap, but until then, another meme. This one's full of random stuff about me...and I promise, the next post will be a little bit more interesting...at least I hope it will be!
25 random things about me…
25 random things about me…
- When I was in Junior High, I wanted to be one of the “fly girls” on In Living Color…I‘m showing my age now!
- Would love to dance again… for now Zumba classes at the YMCA will have to do!
- At Falls Creek youth camp, summer of my sophomore year, I sensed God’s call that one day I would be a minister‘s wife…put it out of my head over the years, read about it in my journal years later…God led Dan to pursue ordained ministry some time after we were married….confirmation.
- For some reason, I always thought I would have a brood of boys…and was SO surprised when we found out we would have a daughter.
- A rockin’ bootie jam will almost always resolve a headache or ease my tension…a little weird, isn’t it?
- I love to travel and can thank my parents for that one…I think we visited about 70% of the U.S. by car (Hawaii by plane) before I was 18 years old…
- It relaxes me to purge and organize our home…when our space is cluttered, my brain just will not function properly!
- My daughter is God’s best medicine for my need to have a clean, organized house…unfortunately I’m still not cured and sometimes get frustrated by my futile attempts to keep things tidy.
- I think that the Spartan Cheerleaders on old school Saturday Night Live are about the funniest thing ever!!!!
- We’re considering home school for Graham’s Kindergarten year.
- I’ve gone to physical therapy weekly for back and neck injury from a head-on collision with a drunk driver almost 5 years ago.
- After said accident…I had the opportunity to share our story with thousands of people at a local event…related to child advocacy/car seat safety…that was very therapeutic…I still hope that something good will come out of that very difficult time.
- I hope and pray that our children will know, REALLY know and live in light of God’s love for them.
- I’ve been a teacher of children with profound mental and physical handicaps (my favorite), also taught Kindergarten, and second grade…prior to becoming a mom.
- Teaching in Memphis City Schools was by far the hardest and most frustrating job I’ve ever had.
- I think I really should have gotten into risk management as a profession…because I’m neurotic about thinking of the dangers in most situations. I pray that I won’t scar my kids for life with this neurosis!
- Speaking of that! If I could change one thing about myself, I would be braver, more of a risk-taker…
- Among so many things that make him God’s best for me…Dan helps me to put my fears aside and go for it (whatever “it” may be) -so thankful for him.
- Last year, I trained and ran the Susan G. Komen 5K in honor of a dear friend. For me, this was a big accomplishment because I’ve never been a runner, and tend to be undisciplined when it comes to regular exercise.
- Haven’t run for exercise since the race…case in point!
- I’m so entertained and inspired by facebook and blogs…thinking I need to set a timer to limit my time so that I’ll be more productive!
- My tongue gets itchy when I’m nervous.
- As a child I could not eat fresh fruits and veggies, because I was allergic to a fungus that grows on them?? SO glad I’ve outgrown that!
- I love Oedy family dance party. It makes me very happy.
- Born and raised in Texas for my first 22 years…and still think it’s the greatest place to live….which is saying a lot since I only live 5 minutes from gorgeous gulf beaches!
