*Organized Chaos*

Jul. 19, 2007 - Thursday Thirteen #23 - It's all about MEme!

I was tagged by Mama Saga, not too long ago, to list 7 (or 8, I'm not sure) random (or unknown) things about me...
I've decided to turn it into my Thursday Thirteen. So, here are

13 Things About ME:

1. I am the oldest of five children, born to Tom and Geri (yes, like the cat and mouse!).
2. I was homeschooled from second grade all the way through high school and never wanted it any other way.
3. I met my husband, Ray, the summer after I graduated from high school, but was not in the least bit interested in anything more than a friendship.
4. We lived hundreds of miles away from each other, and wrote to each other, but didn't see each other for over two years.
5. When we did see each other again, we both knew we would some day be married!
6. We will be celebrating our 8th anniversary next month!
7. I homeschool our children, and come fall will have two in 2nd grade and one in 1st grade.
8. I love schooling my children at home and would not want it any other way.
9. I have always wanted six children and will finally experience this any day now.
10. We do, however, feel called to adopt.
11. I love to travel and have been to places such as Zambia, Africa and London, just to name a few.
12. I have never, however, been to my nation's capitol!
13. There is no place I'd rather be than with my hubby and kiddos!!

Wonderful to find out a little more about you! Well, to be honest, I hope you don't have to wait until the 16th either. Have you delivered early on your last pregnancies? I was late with Noah, 3 days, Anna Beth was born ON her due date. Fun! I know what you mean. I am several weeks behind you and would be happy if baby came today! Except that it wouldn't be best for him....don't tell that I told you...no one except my family and Will's mom know what we're having! We have enjoyed keeping it a surprise this time. We want to adopt too. I'm sure you probably already know this, but just thought I would mention it again. We also want to be foster parents through the Bear Organization...a Christian organization eventually and possibly host foreign exchange students. As far as our biological children. We are leaving this totally in God's hands. We desire to allow Him to be in complete control in this area of our lives and trust that He knows what we need more than we do! One great grandmother by doing this, only had 2, 2 had 10, 1 had eight, my grandmothers had 5 and 10. Will's mom and dad had 5 biological, 1 adopted. All those different numbers and all left in God's hands. It's amazing to look at how He knew exactly what each one needed! You're bunch looks like they are a lot of fun! Hope you are feeling well today and that things continue to go well with your pregnancy! Could you email me you address one more time. I have taken so long to get your present in the mail that I have misplaced it in between times! I will talk to you later girl! Have a blessed day with your treasures!

With all of the toys, books and school stuff filling our home, it tends to looks as if it is void of any order. In reality we are very systematic in the way our main parts (each family member) are connected, so as to form one whole unit (our family), thus creating "organized chaos".
