100 Facts

My cousin posted a 100 things about herself on her blog and I enjoyed reading all the funny, and interesting things about her (I mean interesting in a good way, Tiff, hehe) so I thought I would give it a shot and give people some funny info about myself. Also I told.....well promised my friend, Emily, I would do the 100 things since she did it herself. So........here it goes

21. I tend to be a perfectionist

36. I love to go on trips (About every couple months and I start feeling the need to go somewhere)
37. I enjoy driving, I was ready to drive from a very young age!
38. I bought a winter hat for my husband one Christmas and he made the comment not knowing I had bought it for him, "I would not be caught dead wearing this!" He quickly knew I had bought it for him by the look on my face (he felt awful and apologized) and to sum it up we took the hat back and exchanged it for something he would use!

55. I played piano for 6 years
56. I get on food/drink kicks like- Mike-N-Ikes, Taco salads, Moolattes, Bahama Bucks shaved ice (the best ever). They all seem to be strange kicks but they can last for a couple weeks to a couple months. With strange cravings you would think I was pregnant all the time!
57. I am not a morning person
58. I seem to get the most done in the evenings or night, maybe that's because Faith is asleep =)
59. I love kisses from Tates (Faith)
60. I have a problem not throwing away shampoo bottles and so we usually have at least 2 shampoo and 2 conditioner bottles at any given time. Not sure why I find it so hard to throw them out, I guess I just keep thinking there is still some more in there we can use!
61. I enjoy wearing inexpensive fun, big earings
62. I like spending time with my nieces and nephews (all 6 of them)

64. My life verse is- 2 Cor. 12:8-10, Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
65. I often wish I had the guts to change my hair or do something different with it but once again I have a hard time changing things. It was a big deal for me to finally get highlights several years ago. (Micahl, you’ve always amazed me with your bravery to change/ try new things with your hair and I have to say you have always looked great!)
66. I enjoy camping, except in New Braunfels, TX in July! When you end up sleeping in the car with the ac running all night (Jason says it was a miracle our car didn’t blow up) because you are so hot not even being naked cools you down, you think to your self, “I’m never doing this again!”
67. I enjoy family get togethers
68. I will never forget the miracle of Faith’s birth
69. I’ve always had a fascination with the story of Titanic. Anything I can learn or watch about it interest me.
70. I volunteered as a counselor at the Pregnancy Crisis Center for a couple of years. I loved doing this and hope to someday return to this wonderful ministry. I’ve learned much from the girls/woman who I have had the privilege of meeting and God has taught me much about what it means to be a servant.
71. I love Dr. Pepper (a bad habit I need to break!)
72. I enjoy swimming. I was on a swim team for several years through junior high & high school.

80. I tend to stay up too late
81. I wish I was a better cook or enjoyed cooking for that matter
82. I hate pink! (I don’t mind other people wearing pink I just don’t like the color for myself)

85. I would like to learn how to dance.
86. I met my husband at Chick-Fil-A (he was my boss, though we never dated when we worked together)
87. Every one says how young I look (maybe I’ll learn to appreciate this comment. Maybe it‘s all the meds I use that keep me looking young! I have found the fountain of youth! JK)
