7 Random Things About Me

Marcie tagged me in an email, if that's allowed. So I'll do this.... if I can think of 7 things.

1. I don't eat or drink the ends of things. I never have been able to. It is so gross to me. Like a banana for example-I will take both ends off before I eat it. And anything I drink- it seems to be so gross at the end. The drink is all warm and probably has backwash in it.

2. I have prayed for my husband, Amos, way before I met him. When I was an immature teenager dreaming of my prince charming, I made a very detailed, very shallow, very silly list of things I wanted in a husband. Some of them being taller than me, beautiful eyes, lots of siblings, etc. Then when I was older and a bit more mature, I made a top 5 list that I would be praying for more specifically. Some of them being his Godly character, good personality, etc. Amos honestly hit everything on my shallow list and my more mature list. It was so evident he was the one I had prayed for for so many years. I love that man!

3. I have hair-o-phobia. It's not really a diagnosis, but I really hate hair not on the head. It makes me sick! All my friends know how it upsets me (jokingly of course) to throw their hair on my floor. I've gotten used to it from them, but it still grosses me out.

4. I was a nanny in New Mexico for a year-and-a-half. It was a very difficult time for me, but I am thankful the Lord worked it all out for His good! I am so thankful I had the chance to learn to take care of a home and be a single parent. I would never do it again, but am thankful for the chance to learn.

5. I am planning on making a cookbook, someday. I had a period of time when I was able to print off a ton of recipes and organize them in books. Now I am putting them on my laptop in different categories with a few pictures. I rate the recipes after I make them so I will know what to do with them next time. It might take several years to do this, but it's a fun hobby I have. I also wouldn't mind going to culinary school, someday. :)

6. I am an extremely organized person. Sadly, with us fixing up a house that will take several years, things won't be organized for a while. I am usually very organized in all areas. I would love to have a job of organizing people's homes. Nothing can get that much gratification that quickly. I would just need help teaching the people the organizing habits after I leave the job.

7. I am really into natural births. When I was a nanny in New Mexico, they were very natural people and their daughter was born at home. The Mom really taught me some things about babies and the whole natural delivery. She's not the only reason I so strongly desire natural births, but the first to open my eyes. I would never put anyone down for their own choices for their deliveries, but my desire is to do what is best for my baby and me. We'll see though- I can't say I have ever been in that position before! :)

I will tag Liz Monroe, Katy Strohm, Dani, Ruthann, Kari, Jenica, Ashley, Kaci, Sarah- Is that too much? I guess you don't have to do it if you don't want to! :)
