25 Random things About Me

1. I have been skydiving 3 times.

2. I really love snow. To the point that I really want to live somewhere else where it snows more.

3. I don't like raw onions - except on my gyros - but I really like onion rings and sauteed onions in fajitas and such. So when I go to Burger King I order my buger no onion and onion rings instead of fries.

4. My feet are shaped like Barbie doll feet. I have a very high arch and my toes naturally point up. I am proof that Barbie feet are NOT normal because finding shoes to fit my high arch, wide toe box, and abnormally high instep is nearly impossible!

5. On that note, I love shoes! But I usually end up buying a pair and wearing them once, and they hurt my feet so I rarely wear them. When I find comfy shoes I wear them out.

6. I am fiercely independent and a free thinking knowledge seeker. If it is happening to me, I want to know about it myself. I don't need you to tell me.

7. I expect a LOT from other people - probably too much.

8. I expect even more from myself.

9. I never thought I would find a guy good enough to marry and I was OK with that. Fortunately, God had higher expectations than even I did. I also never expected to marry before the age of 30. I am 27 now and have been married for 7 years to the most amazing man I know.

10. I have discovered the only differences between me and any doctor is a medical degree, whatever experience they have, and my ability to know that I don't know everything but can find it on the Internet. Perhaps someday I will just go get the degree.

11. I still sometimes doubt that I am REALLY pregnant and there is in fact a little human inside me floating around. Crazy I know, but this whole pregnancy thing is bizarre!

12. I really hate talking on the phone. I only call people if I have something specific to talk to them about. I am awkward on the phone and do not know what to say. I attribute this to never developing social phone skills since we were only allowed to talk to our friends once per night for 15 minutes at a time while sitting in the living room where my dad was watching TV blaring at 100 decibels.

13. I am the youngest of three girls. I have no brothers, but always wanted one.

14. I have MANY interests! I love to cook and experiment with recipes, bake and decorate cakes and desserts, photography, crafty stuff, fishing, racquetball, tennis, outdoor activities, etc.

15. My dream job would be to travel the world taking pictures and selling them to magazines like National Geographic.

16. If I weren't married, I might be an FBI or CIA agent or foreign service officer or something like that.

17. I am still considering a doctorate degree, but haven't selected an area of study. I think in 10 years or so I may go back to school.

18. I really love my church! Church of the Harvest rocks!

19. Terry likes to watch movies more than I do. It drives him crazy that I want the light on so I can read during the movie. I like to multitask.

20. I don't really care for cats, but we have three outdoor cats that I like a lot. they are cool cats and eat lots of creepy crawly stuff. They are also super friendly and come when I whistle.

21. We decided when my cousin Cory passed away last May that we wanted to name our daughter after him. Not that we were pregnant or were even trying at the time, but we both knew we were going to have a daughter and that is how we wanted to honor such a great man. I made up the name Koribella before I was pregnant. Before he died, her name was going to be Rosalynn just because we liked it.

22. I am kind of a wanna be environmentalist, I buy reusable grocery sacks and never use them again for groceries. I will get there.

23. My sister Jennifer once whacked me in the head with a softball bat and I had to get stitches in my eyebrow. I still have the scar.

24. We used to live in a condo and we remodeled it and painted and decorated it so pretty. Then we sold it and bought a fixer upper house. I miss my finished condo sometimes, but I like the quiet and privacy of our 5 acres.

25. FINALLY! I love you for reading all of this!

First Post

I have established a blog on blogspot. Not sure why. Kind of on a whim I suppose. Hopefully there will be much more to say and I can be of some entertainment for you. As the title of the blog implies you will find nothing but a little bit of anything and everything on this blog. I have many interests not to be limited to God, family, cooking, photography, nature, sewing, sports (to some degree), and probably just about anything else. Come back often, you just never know what you might find.
