100 things about me.....

LOL....I know some of you are laughing to yourself thinking I don't look at this blog to read about her! Give me pictures of the kids and we are good! If you know me you will know than that I love to connect so to be true to me I am going to give it a whirl. 10 at a time....you can handle that, right? I will keep it light at moments and go straight to the heart in the next.

1. I am a country girl at heart. I love nothing more than open space, a slower pace, produce stands on the side of the road, county fairs, small country churches and old downtowns.

2. I have been a sahm for 19 years and it has been the sweetest, hardest, fullest and most rewarding job. I wouldn't trade it for anything! 3 hearts entrusted to me, 3 gifts that I love more than I knew was humanly possible and 3 boys that will someday be husbands, daddy's, providers and my hope is they are followers of Christ more than anything else.

3. I love to read but haven't read an adult fiction book since my senior year in high school. I read daily but just can't do fiction unless it is for my kids! If I ever do pick up a fiction book I have been told I must read, Redeeming Love or The Help. I will put those at the top of my list for whenever I get there!

4. I love blankets. I always have one nearby and on a trip. A good blanket is one of those little things in life that I love.

5. Clutter or owning to much stuff puts me over the edge. Visual beauty without clutter gives me internal calmness. It is a constant desire to rid of more and more.

6. I love potatoes. Baked sweet potato fries, baked potato with cheese, bacon and butter and red potatoes with fresh rosemary are my favorite carbs.

7. I would have loved to have been a singer that sits on a stool strumming a guitar and share my heart via a melody.

8. I collect Eloise Wilken and Richard Scarry children's books. They remind me hugely of my childhood and I have a sweet collection that I treasure.

9. I hate (yes, I know that is a strong word) overhead light. There is nothing more uncomfortable (well maybe ice chewing!) to me than being in a home with overhead lights.

10. Water is like air to me. It is the only thing I drink and I can't get enough of it. It has to be cold and filtered.

That wasn't that bad was it? :)
