More About Me...

I thought this looked like fun:

10 years ago….I was 16 and a junior in high school.  That was my best year of high school.

5 years ago…. I had been married for just 23 days!  We were temporarily living with my in-laws and about to start our final semesters of undergrad.

1 year ago….We were living in a coastal town in the tropical South Atlantic region.  My husband was interning as a student pastor and I was working part-time at the church’s preschool as an assistant teacher.

Yesterday…I worked at school all day, came home, and did some baking while hubby was doing a home visit.

Today…is Friday and I have a snow day due to six inches of snow overnight and negative wind chills!  I’ve spent it cleaning and shoveling.

5 snacks I enjoy:
Pineapple

Cheesy white corn chips and salsa

Archer Farms’ Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Bites (my latest favorite!)

Tortilla with melted cheese and sour cream

Homemade peanut butter snack bars

5 things I’d do with $100,000,000:
-Adopt between two and six children, internationally, over the space of several years

-Take a nice vacation with my husband to a warm place in January or February

-Give 15% to the work of our church body

-Buy some things we’d like to have for our home: a snowblower, a fireplace, a dishwasher, finish the upstairs bedroom to make it usable

-Put the rest in our retirement plan(s)

5 places I’d like to visit for awhile:
-Anywhere to adopt!

-St. Croix (in the Virgin Islands)

-Vero Beach, FL

-Boise, ID

-Somewhere I haven’t been…maybe Colorado or Montana.

5 bad habits I have:
–Being too hard on myself
-Thinking that our situation is the worst while it actually never is

-Expecting too much, too soon

-Longing for what I don’t have rather than being thankful for my blessings

-Getting mad at God for not giving us any children – this is the worst one.

5 things I like doing:
-Going somewhere a couple hours away to window-shop and walk at a good mall

-Playing board games with my husband

-Singing

-Playing piano

-Reading a good book

5 biggest joys at the moment:
My Lord and my God
My husband
Living in the Midwest

Being able to save for an adoption
