About Me

Here are 10 things you should know about me!

1. Family is #1- I asked my mom once why she had to make my family roots grow so deep. I hate being away from my family. In college I moved 4 hours away from home and thought it was the end of the world. Only seeing my mom and dad once a month wasn't near enough. I also took a job 4 hours away in the other direction and when we lost our housing I wasn't too broken up because it meant we could move back home. 

2. God is #2- I know these two should be switched around but at this point in my life this is where I am at. I attend House of Prayer Lutheran Church weekly and sometimes twice a week. I volunteered to be on my church council this year. I love God and yearn for a stronger relationship with Him. I can thank my dad for that.

3. I love anything paper.-It started out with traditional 12x12 scrapbooking until I discovered mini albums. In the recent months I have tried bullet journaling and I have recently become a self proclaimed planner addict.

4. I'm weird.- I hate eating with metal silverware. The noise it makes on teeth and plates is like nails on a chalkboard. When I eat gummy bears I eat the paws first, head next, and body last. Don't ask me why.

5. I am the oldest of 3 with two older brothers but I feel like the youngest sometimes. I look up to my brothers so much that I think they teach me more than I could ever teach them. They are such great people and have found equally fantastic ladies to keep them in line.

6. I can pinch a penny until it squeals. My family currently lives pretty much pay check to pay check. It never used to be this way but because of it I have learned how to meal plan and where to get the best deal on just about anything. 

7. I have always felt like I was called to do something great. I haven't gotten there yet but you can believe that when that opportunity presents itself I am going to be ready for it!

8. I am the most positive person you will meet. I am always looking for the silver lining and trying to look on the bright side. I think it drives some people crazy but I can't help it.

9. I don't hold on to anything negative. When my husband and I have a disagreement I forget it the very next day. When people hurt my feelings or treat me wrong I let it go quicker than the average person. Sometimes I wish I would hold on to things a little longer but I don't have time to worry about that stuff.

10. Saying I love to laugh is an extreme understatement. One of my brothers has the most insane sense of wit about him and he can make me laugh like no one else. I look forward to get giddy when I know we're going to hang out because I know by the end of the night I am going to be exhausted from laughing. Oh and we both have a profound love for super corny puns.

As you follow me on my blogging journey I hope that this post gives you a little sneak peek into my life and a glimpse of why I feel or think the way I do about certain topics. The next week of posts are going to go into some of these things a little deeper. My next post will give you a deeper look at my family life. 

Enjoy and remember to find a blessing each day and tuck it away in the pocket of your heart. You never know when you'll need to draw on it later...
