My dear friend, Brandy, picked me to carry on this Honest Scrap blogger award which means I have to post 10 things about myself and pass it on to other bloggers. Since I blog mostly about my boys, I can't imagine there being 10 things you would find interesting about me, but here goes...
1. I am a texture eater. I do not like anything with seeds (tomatoes), not big on crunchy (chips, carrots), and really dislike mushy (pies, beans, peas).
2. I married a man I never dated. Seriously. We went from single to engaged in 8 days and were married 2 months later. The Lord laid it on our hearts that we should be married, so we did. Best thing that's ever happened to me.
3. I have a ridiculously bad habit of biting my nails. It used to be all the time, but now, it's only when they've grown really long or I get nervous or overwhelmed over something. Gross, I know.
4. I am highly creative and terribly unorganized. I can throw a mean party, paint some amazing things, and come up with some extremely perfect gifts. However, when it comes to doing ANY of that, it just so happens that I cannot keep up with what I'm doing, what I've purchased, or how much it cost me.
5. I've been pregnant for 21 months in the last 3 years. I miscarried my first child, Ethan, was pregnant six months later with Daniel, and found out I was pregnant again with Samuel when Daniel was only 3 and a half months old. What does this mean? My husband is one very good man. OH, and for future reference, I should take stock out in Motherhood Maternity or the maternity racks at consignment sales.
6. I really love music. However, I'm not as "musical" or "well-versed" as I once was. I used to like every single genre of music and know the words to every song on the radio on every station. These days, I find myself annoyed with country, bored with pop, and absolutely appalled by rap and hip hop. I cannot stand the radio being up too loud, and I don't like songs with cussing in them. Turns out I am just like my mother, and as a M-O-M, I really do not want to listen to music that I wouldn't want my children to hear. You can usually depend on us listening to Contemporary Christian or Gospel.
7. I am nuts about grammar. I can spot a misspelled word from a mile away. I cannot stand it when people use run-on sentences without the slightest thought of a period, comma, conjunction, or semicolon. I hate it when punctuation marks are misused and quotation marks are misplaced... Oh, I could go on, but I digress only to say that English was my favorite subject in school. What the world really needs is a lesson in English grammar!
8. I am a preacher's wife. I struggle with this one often, simply because I don't feel qualified or equipped to fill this unique role. I don't study or read my Bible daily. I find it hard to pray without ceasing. I don't have mentors or feel as though I have that "accountability" partner I need.
9. I need to learn to cook and clean. I have been a stay-at-home mom for over two years now, and I've YET to get on a schedule. I don't cook every night; in fact, I'm somewhat disappointed if we don't go out! My house NEVER feels clean, and I hear about cleaning schedules all the time yet don't make one for myself!
