This is the eve of my 28th birthday, so I thought I would share 28 facts about myself. Ready? Ok!
- I'm freaked out about getting older. 30 terrrifies me.
- I'm getting wrinkles around my mouth. Briefly considered collagen shots, then remembered I'm a 28(almost) year old stay-at-home mom on a very tight budget. That money would be completely wasted. Instead I'll embrace the phrase "Women are like fine wine...better with age."
- I love to shop. Mostly for my kids. I feel like I've lost my shopping mojo when it comes to picking out things for myself. My husband, on the other hand, does a fab job picking clothes out for me.
- I love reading. Right now I'm reading books on homeschooling.
- I played softball for 15 years. I was a pitcher, and I turned down a full scholarship to play in college and all I have now are the student loan bills to show for my softball "career".
- I love having babies, but hate being pregnant.
- When I was pregnant with Chloe I had morning sickness for 8 months, 6 months with Ava and 4 months with Silas.
- When I was in high school I said I wanted 9 children.
- This coming January is my 14 year anniversary since I gave my life to Jesus.
- I love to cook, but hate cleaning up after dinner.
- I love to bake, but always eat all of whatever I baked.
- Cheesecakes are my specialty.
- I don't like eating hot food. Room temp is fine with me.
- I went to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday with my best friend and we had an amazing time! Such fond memories!
- I'm a terrible driver. I don't even try to deny it.
- I've seen the musical "Wicked" twice and both times the music brought me to tears. It's my (and my childrens') favorite thing to listen to on my ipod.
- I'm desperate to get away on a vacation with my husband. But having a small, nursing babe isn't really conducive to a mommy/daddy getaway. At least not for the next year or so.
- My babies have never taken bottles, hence #17. (This is supposed to be about me, not my kids....I know.)
- I went to a tiny Christian college and a tiny Christian high school. Loved them both.
- I dated my husband for 14 months, then we were engaged for 14 months, and now we've been married for 6 years.
- I've had three kids in four and a half years. I'm open to having more, I've left it up to my husband. The thought of having a large family makes me very very happy.
- I have way too many hobbies...they include: taking pics and the subsequent photoshopping,doing photo cards/invitations etc for friends, sewing, reading, scrapbooking, and making hair lovelies.
- I'm terrible at finishing projects.
- I cannot follow a sewing pattern for the life of me. I make up all my own patterns just by measuring the girls (I usually make dresses for them).
- Once I start reading a good book I will negelect my family until I finish it, thankfully I'm a speedy reader.
- I don't remember the last time I went to the movies.
- I love reality television shows, my faves are all the "Real Housewives" shows. I also love all the shows about people breaking out of prison, don't ask me why....
- I love my friends, real or bloggy. I don't have a large family, so I've always considered my close friends to be my family. I love it when people comment on my blog too :) *hint hint*
Well, happy birthday! A little early, just remember, getting older, is getting wiser!
