I was probably the last person on Facebook to write 25 random things about myself, but I finally got around to it today. I usually don't take the time to do things like this, but I actually enjoyed it! It forced me to reflect! Since I took the time to write it all I figured it may as well be a post on my blog as well...: )1.I got hit by a truck when I was 6. Thankfully I only had a concussion and a broken leg.
2. I could eat a whole jar of grape jam, but I won't allow myself to.
3.When I was little my white hair turned green every summer from swimming so much.
4. I have always wanted a
tattoo, and I finally got one on my 30
th birthday last July. I have 4 hearts (for my 4 kiddos) on my left foot.
5. I have seen firsthand the miracle of a baby being born...thanks
Chels!
6. I NEVER watch TV...can't find the time.
7. My first and second child are 6 years apart in age. My second child is only 16 months older than his twin sisters!
8. Some days I wish that I could be a stay-at-home mom, and other days I am glad that I work.
9.3 out of 4 of my children have blue eyes, and my husbands are dark brown! Recessive blue dominated!
10. I am named after my dad, but I have never been happy with my name. I never felt like it "fit" me.
11. If I could go back and redo school, I would try harder.
12. I am a true return freak! I will return anything and everything, just ask anyone who knows me well. I have been told that I give returners a bad name, and stores change their return policies because of people like me.
13. I NEVER pictured myself having twins, but I thank God that I did.
14.My favorite store is The Gap, and I think that it always will be. Their clothes are timeless, and I love that!
15. I am not a jewelry person. I think it costs too much, and I never have time to put it on in the morning.
16. I drive a minivan, and I swore I never would!
17. I have always been thankful that my husband is very smart with $. He has saved us lots of stress over the years, and some of his ideas are even starting to rub off on me.
18. I LOVE to run, and I have always regretted not trying track in
high school.
19. I used to be a "pet person" before I had kids, now pets are added work...maybe someday that will change.
20. I met my husband of almost 11 years at a club on lower
Greenville when I was 18, and I used to be
embarrassed to tell people how we met. However as I mature I know our meeting was fate even if we didn't meet at a more "appropriate" place.
21. I am the only person at my gym (and probably anywhere else) that still listens to a Sony Walkman. I tried the whole I Pod thing, I just like listening to the radio better.
22. I miss my great grandpa's wisdom, genuine smile, and unconditional love.
23. I pray that my kids don't give me half as much trouble as I gave my mom growing up.
24. I am a little obsessive about getting my
cardio and watching my fat intake...I have grown to be able to admit that.
25. We almost named our twins Cate and Claire...that would have been
Cade, Carson, Cate, and Claire...whew what a mouthful!
Today Quinn had her 3rd birthday party at Pump It Up! It's hard to believe that she is 3! She and the girls were born 3 weeks apart at the same hospital in 2006. Julie and I spent our whole pregnancies day by day together that school year. It was fun having someone to be pregnant with, and it is fun having girls exactly the same age!! The kids had a great time celebrating Miss Quinny's special day!
Quinn's princess cake...it was strawberry and VERY yummy!
The birthday girl herself!
The party goers
Julie and Brian (Quinn's mommy and daddy)
Ella Cate was taking her sissy for a spin!
