For a year, I have found myself going back and reading old posts on certain blogs, just to get to know more about the blogger. I am either addicted or I just have an inquiring mind!
But what I find more than anything else is that we all have many of the same likes, many of the same problems, and many of the same fears.
So this is not a tag, just some random facts, in no particular order. Hopefully you will know me a little better.
1. I have been married to the greatest husband in the world for 37 years.
2. I have a son 35, and a daughter 28 and I am so thankful that they love and honor their parents, but am equally proud that they adore each other.
3. The best job I have ever had is "Grammy"! Hands down...I love it! I am Grammy to Parker, Austin, Jack and new little man arriving in June.
4. My husband was the high school football coach when I was a cheerleader. I am 10 years younger than him. My kids love to hear that story. Hey, its lasted 37 years. Another post for another day.
5. Disney World is my favorite place on earth, especially with the grandkids. Nothing compares!
6. Parker is 9 and we have taken him to Disney World and Disneyland 7 times. Grandparents will travel. Those trips are some of the sweetest days of my life.
7. I have decorated homes for Christmas for the past 17 years. I just did a quick calculation and I have probably decorated at least 1200 Christmas trees in my life.
8. Dancing With The Stars is my very favorite TV show! With American Idol a close second.
9. I am a HUGE BRETT FARVE fan! I love football and actually feel depressed each year, as the season comes to an end. I cannot imagine football without Brett.
10. I think massages are about as close to heaven as we get on this earth. I try to have one every week. And tomorrow I have an all day spa day from my husband...my favorite Valentine gift!
11. I love cold weather and am miserable in the summer.
12. My appendix ruptured on vacation, when I was 5 months pregnant with Amanda. That was 28 years ago, but one of those vivid MEMORIES.
13. I love to read blogs. I love people's stories.
14. My parents died 2 years ago, 3 months to the day of each other. They had been married 59 years and were very healthy until their last six months of life.
15. I love Diet Coke and I love coffee....so I think caffeine is my friend.
16. I love my son-in-law and my daughter-in-law. They are both wonderful parents. They are a perfect fit for our family.
17. My daughter had a baby at 18 and and senior in high school. She has been the most awesome Mom to Parker. No little guy loves his Mom anymore than Parker loves her. This will be a future post...a beautiful story of God's grace.
18. My favorite way to travel is with my entire family. Our kids and their kids. We have a blast.
19. I am very much a night person. My normal bedtime is between 1 and 2 AM and many nights I look up and its 3. Fortunately my shop is at my house, so I can make my own work hours. What a blessing. I am not a morning person AT ALL!
20. I hate going to the doctor, hate medical tests, and am rarely sick!
21. I love going to the movies. We try to see at least one movie a week.
22. I love Le Madeline's Potato Soup! It is one of my most favorite places to eat.
23. I love Faith Hill and Tim McGraw...maybe Tim McGraw a tad more!
24. I am a news junky...Fox News is almost always on at least one of our TV's!
25. I like to get a new laptop at least once a year.
26. I was raised in a Southern Baptist Church, but all my adult life have attended an nondenominational church.
7. I love to send notes and cards the old fashioned way...not email, but with a postage stamp.
28. I love to read the newspaper, especially USA TODAY.
29. I cannot resist buying books and magazines... I may not read them, just want them.....near me...I never leave home without a book or magazine. I have a fear of having to sit somewhere with nothing to read.
30. I do not cook! At all!
31. I love to play cards and have played with the same girls for 15 years. Hand and Foot is our game.
32. I wish I had more confidence in the stock market rebounding. The reports each day bring fear.
33. My husband treats me like a queen and my friends remind me of that constantly.
34. I LOVE BETH MOORE BIBLE STUDIES
35. I love reconnecting with old friends....Thank you God for FACEBOOK!
That's plenty to start with with. Probably each of those will lead to a post in the future. Thank you to all the new friends that have stopped by my blog.
