This was a kinda fun thing that went through Facebook a while back. I learned some kooky nd unexpected things about some of my closest friends. Thought it would be interesting here... You are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. I will go first and I guess if no one responds, you will all know more about me than I care to admit!!
1. I hate the phone.
2. I am clumsy. Always have been. I fell out of bed this morning.
3. I rarely read the newspaper or watch the news- its too depressing to watch how cruel we humans can be to each other.
4. My favorite place in the world is our acreage first thing in the morning. I especially love my acreage when I am surrounded by my dogs and horses. Other than that, I really don't like mornings...
5. The first thing Jer and I ever did together was dirtbiking. He kept smashing my helmet with his. Turns out he was trying to kiss me... I loved him then and I love him more now.
6. My favorite thing about my husband is the way he giggles when he is genuinely amused. It is a sound that makes my heart smile.
7. I used to think that when you are 32 (like me) you know who you are and what you are doing. If this is true, then I'm only 16!
8. I love the Food Channel. Jer hates it.
9. I am a good cook but I never know what to make. Its a curse.
10. My children are my whole world: they make me want to be better and do better. They think they need me, but the truth is that I can't live without them.
11. I think people who deliberately hurt children should be shot. Period.
12. I am a shy person- meeting new people terrifies me. This is something I have worked a long time to overcome, and it is my personal Mt. Everest.
13. I was once suspended from school for drinking at the Provincial Debating Championships. My parents didnt quite know how to punish the straight-A, captain, and coach of the Debating Team... I had a lovely 3 days off.
14. I am terrible at saying I am sorry.
15. I have a love-hate relationship with Photography. I hate taking photos because I get so nervous I could literally puke. I love looking at the photos later because I am always pleasantly surprised that I didnt tank the job...
16. Aside from my family, the greatest thing I ever did was going to Romania on a Medical Mission. I will go back over and over and over.
17. If I never married and had a family I would be a doctor and a missionary. Instead, I am a stay-at-home doctor whose missions involve laundry, groceries, appointments, gymnastics, pony club and so much more. My kisses are my medicine. Its a good life.
18. If I had a genie-in-a-lamp I would wish for: a housekeeper, a nanny, and more time in the day.
19. Both of my parents live with rare and debilitating diseases. From them, I have learned about courage and integrity. I have also learned to appreciate the gift of health and to celebrate the miracle that occurs each time my body moves for me and with me.
20. My favorite clothes are jeans and hoodies. I don't own pajamas.
21. I am a Daddy's girl. My father is an amazing man who has taught me what it is to be simple and humble and kind and accepting. My heart melts every time I witness my husband and daughters in this same tender relationship. I hope they will always love him just a tiny bit more than me.
22. As a parent, the greatest thing I can give my girls is wings. I pray continually that I will be a model to them of what a woman should be. I hope that from me they will learn to be independant and brave and adventurous and compassionate. I don't want them to see me as perfect, but I do want them to see me struggle and perservere and know that its okay to fall down and get back up again.
23. I have the disease to please- I am terrible at saying "NO". I am working on it.
24. I am addicted to excercise. And Lululemon clothing.
25. The best day I ever had with my husband was out quadding in the mud and muck. There is something about watching him at play that I find inexplicably sexy. He is my best friend.
