1. I never dreamed I would be a mom to 5 kids. In fact, as a kid, I never dreamed of being a mom like most little girls. Although now, I couldn't imagine any better job.

2. I am not an emotional person and my husband and sister always make fun of me for it. I truly think I am quite an optimist, so when things are bad or seem sad, I try to find the good, rather than focusing on the bad.

3. I am a neat freak and don't mistake that for a clean freak. Things at least have to be picked up.

4. I love love love yardwork and could spend all day outside doing it.

5. I love cookie dough. Like, A LOT.

6. I am a reality TV junkie and really don't watch anything but (Biggest Loser, American Idol, Bachelor, the TLC shows, etc.).

7. I never answer the phone if I don't recognize the number.

8. My husband is absolutely amazing. He is so great to me and the kids. I'm so grateful God placed him in my life to be the person I get to spend forever with.

9. I have decided to become an avid moviegoer..in hopes to slow down my shopping addiction.

10. I plan on driving my expedition until it dies (hopefully many, many years). I love it and never want a car payment again.

11. I still talk and am friends with my best friend from Kindergarden.

12. I just started eating vegtables (besides corn and green beans) and am quite proud of myself. I had never tried broccoli until last week and I can actually handle it.

13. I LOVE where I live, my house, my neighbors, etc. We, without a doubt, have some of the best neighbors ever, who we love hanging out with.

14. I secretly hope all of my kids love and excel in soccer...and play competitively.

15. I love board games and would play them every night with my husband, if he would let me. :)

16. I truly think I have some of the best friends in the world. I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life.

17. I knew I was going to marry my husband within minutes of meeting him, and therefore, as the manager of the place he applied to, I hired him.

18. I am an investigator, plain and simple. I investigate everything, research everything and could spend hours doing so, which is why I majored in criminal justice. In fact, I found my husbands biological mother within a matter of minutes doing a google search.

19. I was the biggest tomboy as a kid and was never into anything girly. I spent hours playing outside and in the woods everyday with my boy friends.

20. I would probably have one more kid, if I knew it would be a girl (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my boys). Mainly, so I could give Kyla a sister because I couldn't imagine not having one.

21. In middle school, my friend and I would sneak out of her house whenever I spent the night and ride our bikes to friends houses (we even got pulled over by the cops one night, and after that, we never did it again).
ps. to think I have a middle schooler now scares me to death!!!

23. I am a very impatient person, although I am trying hard to change this.

24. My favorite stores are Target, Old Navy and White House Black Market.

25. I love God and am always so grateful for His Word, grace, humor and timing. I am thankful for the work He is doing in my life, as well as in my family and friends lives.
