A bit about me

Tammy tagged me at Our Three Daughters so here goes πŸ™‚

Four jobs I have had in my life
* Waitress (I was the WORST!)
* Worked at Sound Warehouse while I was in college
* Ran a horse farm (my favorite job other than being a mommy ;))
* uhhh… does being a mom count?

Four movies I could watch over and over
* Man From Snowy River
* Gladiator
* Pretty Woman
* Pride and Prejudice

Four places I have lived
* Delaware
* Dallas
* Oklahoma
* St. Louis

Four shows that I watch
* I don’t really watch anything besides Noggin and Nick Jr. πŸ™‚

Four places I have been
* France
* Germany
* Jamaica
* China ~ my favorite!

Four people who email me regularly
* Kris
* Nicole
* Hayley
* Rebecca

Four of my favorite foods
* french fries
* really good chocolate chip cookies
* anything at Macaroni Grill
* basically anything that ISN’T good for you

Four places I would rather be right now
* In China, holding Shepherd
* On a beach in Florida
* Riding my old horse, Harley
* DISNEYWORLD! I’ve never been!

Four folks I think will respond
* I have no idea, I’ve never done one of these before

Four things I’m looking forward to in the next 12 months
* Shepherd coming home
* Getting situated in our new home
* Getting Shepherd’s feet fixed in Iowa
* Did I say Shepherd coming home?

Four goals for the New year?
* More time set aside for bible study, prayer
* Fundraising, baby!
* Giving to other adoptive families in need
* Being a better wife. The mommy thing comes easy, hubs sometimes gets the short end of the stick.

Four gifts I got for Christmas
* A necklace with my sweet Shepherd’s face as a charm
* Bath and Bodyworks gift card
* Old Navy gift card
* A beautiful picture frame for pictures of my babies!

Four places I want to visit
* Wherever God wants to send me πŸ™‚

Four things you did not know about me
* I used to be teased in school for my freckles. They nicknamed me “Strawberry”.
* I grew up in a family just like the Brady Bunch, 6 kids. I was Cindy… youngest girl.
* I love even numbers, 4 is my favorite. At the grocery I almost always buy in 2’s.
* I am a total softie, especially for animals. I’ve tried to help any animal I’ve come across needing help. Once I pulled a mother possum out of our Jack Russell’s mouth. She lived and so did her babies πŸ™‚

Four things I wish I could be better at
* Dressing. I’m pretty simple and don’t really like to step out of my comfort zone.
* Corresponding. I spread myself too thin and don’t get to stay up with all my friends like I’d like to. Must be all these kids.
* Photography. I’d love to take some classes. Someday, someday.
* Reaching out. I’m sort of shy and have a hard time making friends when we move to a new town.

Four things I can cook without a recipe
* Chicken Chili
* Chicken Burritos
* Chocolate Chip Cookies
* Mexican Dip πŸ™‚

Four musicians that I really like
* Nichole Nordeman
* Natalie Grant
* Third Day
* Mercy Me

Oh and one more thing about me. I am a procrastinator. I sit here with a list of chores that I need to do, dinner unstarted, kids happily playing on the swingset safely in our backyard on a beautiful day. And I’m at the computer. Best get goin’ before baby Jude wakes up!
I tag everyone who I listed under “People who email me regularly”… but I’ll still love you guys even if you don’t want to participate πŸ™‚

    I love all of those musicians too! I just love Mercy Me…maybe because they’re from Texas!

    Great list!

    Did you just type, “does mom count?”… dear Lord woman, YES. And I’d have to say you take the gold medal on that job with number 8 on the way!!

    Love the meme, funny to know someone and then learn something new :O)

    Promise I’ll try to do this… I’m a huge slacker at tags.

    Thanks for playing along Stefanie! I think being a Mom is the hardest job I have ever had! So yes, it does count!

    1.Mom TOTALLY counts…

    2. we have the same taste in music.. man that Natalie Grant song.. “Held”..chokes me up every time.. especially when I was in the “waiting” phases of the adoption.. reminds me of my girls and their birth moms.. sorry.tangent

    3. and I would have to disagree with you on the simple dresser comment.. I think you are pretty snazzy in all the pics I have seen you in… You rock it girl!

    If we were closer, I think we’d be friends:) I was blog-free for a week, just because time did not permit and I missed you! Nice to be back.
