4. I love being a mommy, and I try to read lots of books to help me be a better one because at the end of the day, I tend to focus on all of the mistakes I've made.
5. I am afraid of the dark and terrified of frogs...don't know why, just am.
6. I just finished reading "The Mission of Motherhood" by Sally Clarkson and "Disciplines of a Godly Family" by Kent and Barbara Hughes.....highly recommend both of them!

10. I love to write and hope to somehow make money doing it someday.
11. The Girls Next Door is one of my favorite shows, but Mark doesn't want anyone to know that.
12. Baking chocolate chip cookies with Tyler is one of my favorite things to do.
13. Both of my babies were miracles since my body stopped feeding them during the last part of both pregnancies....we might adopt #3.
14. Sometimes when Tyler is overtly disobedient, I laugh....and I'm okay with that.
15. I love to scrapbook, but I can't seem to stay caught up with 2 little ones demanding my attention.
16. Hearing Tyler laugh is food for my soul. I wish I could bottle it up and carry it with me wherever I go.
17. I was supposed to stay at home and not work this school year, but I've been working about 15 hours a week teaching children who are too sick to go to school. Although I love being home with my babies, God obviously needs me somewhere else as well. I have students with terminal illnesses, and I come home everyday thanking God for my healthy children and pleading that He will keep them that way.
18. I used to lay down and play dead at the hint of an argument, but after 8 year of being married to Mark, I'm pretty dang good at it....bring it on!! Those of you that know Mark know what I'm talking about. ; -)

21. A messy house really stresses me out.
22. I've tried to convince Mark that I could really help the economy by supporting the local nail salon and get a mani-pedi once a month. So far, he's not convinced.

24. I love art, and I try to bring out my inner artist whenever I get the chance.
25. I cry every time we pass through Round Rock. Leaving the only home I ever knew as a junior in high school was devastating and almost killed me.
