Me summed up in a list of 25

25 random things about me.......

1. My kids are the biggest blessing in my life and the biggest challenge/responsibility. I had no idea all that parents do. Somedays I don't sit down till 8pm at night. Being a mom is great and exhausting all at the same time. Somedays I wish for a break, but then once I have about 1 hour alone, I miss them and look forward to their return.
2. I like to eat. Hate Fast Food. 90% vegetarian. Love healthy sweets!
3. I like to work-out! Running, Cycling, Weight lifting, pilates, kick-boxing, I'll try anything!
4. I like to read to my kids. And my kids love books as well.
5. I like to cook healthy, tasty, inexpensive meals for my family.
6. I like chocolate
7. I juice vegtables (carrots, kale, celery, cucumbers, red beets etc.) almost every day. I want to have a big garden someday!
8. I love the Bible. Love good Bible teaching. I listen to good teaching CD's in the van or in the kitchen.
9. I love getting older. I would never go back to my teens or twentys. Every year we learn so much, I thought I knew a lot back then, but realize now how stupid I was!
10. I have lived in Indiana for 5 years. I love it. I can not think of anywhere else I would rather live. I tell people often that I love our house/location/neighbors. It is perfect in so many ways for our family. I dream of it being bigger and having 3 acres of land around it, but otherwise I love it!!!
11. I have a dream job. I teach fitness classes 4 days a week at a health club that is 1/2 mile from our home. My classes are 1 hour long, and I can take my kids with me to work. How awesome! (When my kids are older, I plan to get into personal training)
12. I love Dave Ramsey. We believe what he says and do our best to follow it.
13. I love books! The library is my hobby. I check out about 30 books for my kids and 5-10 books for me every-other week. I love researching things and reading good fiction sometimes too.
14. I love family time. We schedule things on purpose to do as a family of 5. It builds memorys and gives us all something to look forward to.
15. I have a positive person inside, trying to get past my negative tendencies. Some weeks my negative side takes over, but I'm working on it.
16. I have the coolest husband ever. He's a great dad. He understands how to put people before things. He is committed, consistent, extremely hard working, stable, and just a huge blessing to me.
17. I am terrible at home decorating. Justin and I know what we like, it's just not what we have.
18. I am frugale. (Maybe that is why I am bad a home decorating)
19. I have been married 13 years and have never had cable television, or any tv, other than with bunny ears kind.
20. I like to make foods from scratch. I don't like processed, boxed, canned, microwaved foods.
21. I seldom ever wear make-up. If you see me in make-up, it is a very, very special day!
22. I love organizing/helping with 'special BIG events". (as long as there not at my home)
23. I love inspirational, romantic, heart warming, and thought provoking movies.
24. I love the sunshine. I like to be tan. I like to lay in the hot sun and read a book or listen to great music. (I love fun, upbeat, christian music)
25. I drive a mini-van and love it!!
