I posted this on Facebook a while back, thought I would post it here since I haven't blogged in a while.

25 Random Facts about Me

1) I really don't have time to be writing out 25 things random things about me, but I will make time for it. I also make time for walks w/my sister, dessert, time on Facebook and editing photos even when I technically do "not have time".

2) I love my four boys, and I'm sure God gave me boys for a reason. I probably wouldn't know what do do w/little girls.

3) I love homeschooling. I never, ever thought I would HS, as I liked public school, I was involved in sports and was a teachers pet (not completely, but lets just say, teachers liked me). Now I find myself reading classic books of literature as read alouds, looking in our microscope at blood cells from a drop of my own blood, and exploring life w/my boys and I'd have it no other way (unless God leads us another way that is).

4) I just got a dachshund puppy for Christmas, he is my 7th wienie dog to own. These were/are their names: Snoopy, Carmel, Peanut, Husky, Toblerone (Roni for short), Weenie, and this one, Schnickel Fritz.

5) My dream home is a log home in the middle of the Rocky Mtns, off the grid and energy self-sufficient, complete with great wildlife art paintings, a maid, & a Jeep Wrangler in the garage.

6) I must just be too creative for housework. I really don't like it. I force myself(sometimes), but my house is usually only really clean when we invite someone over.

7) I love the color burgandy, purple irises, mountain meadows, chocolate, sunflowers and star-gazing.

8) I am a country girl through and through. I know how to fish, clean a fish, kill a deer, make homemade jerky and sausage, and I butchered a duck in my master bathtub the other night. I know the words to that Hank Williams Jr. song. :)

9) I love singing praise and worship music, even if I'm not a great singer. I love to crank up K-Love in the van, and I especially love it when I can hear Morgan singing along to Chris Tomlin or Brandon Heath at the top of his lungs.

10) I pray that someday my boys will be responsible, loving, serving, men of integrity who love the Lord and want to live for Him above all else. Sometimes I think we are getting there, other days, I just say, "Lord, they are all yours."

11) Jesus is my Lord and Savior. My relationship with God has changed over the years from one of performance to one of a relationship with Him, and BECAUSE I love Him, I want to serve Him and follow Him, and I love living for Him.

12) I would love to do a short term missions trip sometime in the near future. I'll take my stethoscope and my camera.

13) Ever since I decided to give God the steering wheel to my life, things have never been the same. Sometimes its a joy ride, and sometimes its like going down a bumpy dirt road in the back of a bus with bad shocks. But I always know He knows what He is doing, even if I don't... after all He is God.

14) I work one night a week with moms who just delivered and newborns. Sometimes I love being a nurse, at other times, it makes me want to be a Wal-mart greeter.

15) I am married to a genius. A computer genius, a literary genius, and a philosophical debator genius. But I still always win all our arguments (yeah... right!)

16) I love reading Confessions ofa Pioneer Woman's blog. She can make me snort. And we are alot alike: we both live on ranches, both love photography, both homeschool and have 4 kids, both love to cook, she is married to Marlboro Man and I'm married to a pipe-smoking man; and she has thousands of devoted readers, and I have ...226 friends on Facebook and 30 friends here on Homeschoolblogger!

17) I love photography. I have found my passion. I have a wish list about 300mm long of lenses, cameras, software, that I want.. but for now I make do with my new Canon and make my kids crazy by making them smile as I follow them around. Someday I'd love to retire from nursing all together and be a real photographer.

18) I have a reoccuring dream where I get into a game of volleyball, but can't serve the ball over the net. I'm not sure if its based on reality or its just a nightmare.

19) I once lived in a tool shed. Now who can say that?
