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 🙂
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 🙂
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 🙂
I love all of those musicians too! I just love Mercy Me…maybe because they’re from Texas!
Great list!
Thanks for making me hungry! All the food you like is sounding really good right about now.
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.
I love even numbers, too. I’ve never heard anyone else say that. Very interesting : )
you are MOVING again?? Girl, you are so busy – I don’t know how you do it. AND…..Why, oh why?? have you never been to Disney World (LOL!!!!) That’d be a trip – with your brood:)
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.
