I am a child of God, married to a sweet loving husband, and I have four precious children.</p> <p>2. My family lived in Goose Creek, SC for two years. I loved going to Kiawa Island beaches and the Charleston Market every weekend. Unfortunately, the schools in our town were atrocious, and I opted to be homeschooled the second year we were there.</p> <p>3. I always knew I wanted a lot of kids, but really thought I'd have mostly girls. I'm so happy to have my boys now!</p> <p>4. For years I wouldn't even walk out to check my mail unless I had make-up on. The sad truth.</p> <p>5.I have a Root beer float almost every night. </p> <p>6. My favorite fast food place to eat is Taco bell , and I love their fire sauce. (I only eat there once or twice a year, though.)</p> <p>7. I was brought up rarely watching TV. My husband's family never turns it off. It's still a struggle for us now.</p> <p>8. My hubby and I will have our 11-year anniversary this year in November.</p> <p>9. When I was 20, I got to watch my younger sister jump out of an airplane.</p> <p>10. I flew to CA every summer growing up. Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble beach...these are some of the most beautiful places on earth. The art galleries there inspired me.</p> <p>11. Someday I'd like to live where it never drops below 70 degrees.</p> <p>12. Heights terrify me. The last time I went on the biggest slide at Big Splash I seriously thought I might die.</p> <p>13. I can't remember when I "got saved." I grew up in a Christian home and it was all we ever knew. God has always been Father, Redeemer, Savior, and Lord.</p> <p>14.I'm extremely forgetful, and I burn cookies on a regular basis.</p> <p>15. I'm extremely forgetful, and I regularly leave food in the microwave and discover it the next day.</p> <p>16. I love coffee. All kinds.<br /></p> <p>17. Mexican and Italian are my favorite kinds of food. Chinese, Thai are my least favorites. A meal just isn't right without cheese!</p> <p>18. I once left my purse in a different town nearly 80 miles away and had to turn around. Did I mention that I'm very forgetful?</p> <p>19. I'm 5'6" and always wanted to be taller.</p> <p>20. I've gone through three cell phones in the last 6 months. </p> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">21. I have a mole on my face and one on my neck that my boys like to touch when they are tired or upset.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">22. When I was little, I used to drive my grandma crazy feeling of her elbows when she would rock me. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">23. I can't sing. Even my 3-year old tells me so.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">24. My doctor told me I was made to have babies. But then, after complications when The Artist was a year old, I was told I had about a 50% chance of having any more kids. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">25. I have 20-some credit hours at JBU, most of which won't transfer....but they don't offer the major I want to switch to. Quite a dilemma.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">26. I have never had a credit card, and never plan to. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">27. I love the smell of vanilla, and bread baking.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">28. I love art, museums, galleries and I wish I could regularly take painting and sketching classes. It seems to be the only way I find time to do any art. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">29. Same goes for exercise. I love biking, hiking, swimming, walking, and even weight lifting... but I only find time when I'm part of a class. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">30. My weight fluctuates by up to 10lbs a year, depending on holidays and visitors.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">31. </span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">I look horrible with black hair. Bright red doesn't look swell either.And I can only do blonde in highlights.<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">32. My husband prefers my hair short.<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">33. We buy 6-7 gallons of milk a week.</span></div> <div> </div> <div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">34. I love my cottage home.<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">35. When I was a teenager, I pierced my own eyebrow, and seven holes in my ears.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">36. There are bone growths in my mouth from clenching my teeth so much. I know, Nice.<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">37. I put our shed together in the backyard with a friend of mine, October. Hubby is not a handy man. October also helped me put my bike trailer together. Thanks, girl! <img src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley1.gif" width="15" height="15" /> </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">38. At JBU, I was first working towards a business major, but the classes were drier than toast and I couldn't take it. Then I went for an education major and psychology minor. My therapeutic interviewing class was the easiest thing I've ever taken. My New Testament class was my favorite class. </span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Development classes are fun, too.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">39. Meyers Briggs personality test says I'm an ENFJ (Extrovert iNtuitive Feeling Judging). I think.. did I mention being forgetful?<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">40. I make To-Do Lists almost every day, just so I can remember things. And I never go to the store without a list! </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">41. I like to write letters and cards to friends and family. I also make cards. Googly eyes are my trademark!<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">42. If it were up to me, we would not own a tv at all.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">43. I love photography, looking at and taking pictures.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">44. I'm a breastfeeding advocate.And I'm pro-homeschooling, pro-life, pro-marriage and generally just "pro-family." I'm in favor of parental consent for everything, and I think the government should really back off. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">45. I'm a right-handed-watch-wearer.<br /></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;">46. I really like chocolate, but I try not to eat it. For years, I just told people I didn't like it, so they wouldn't give me any! I try to stay away from almost all fried foods, too. I can always hear my mom in the background, about what is healthy and what is not. </span></div> <div> </div> <div>47. We have had a lot of financial drought over the last couple of years. </div> <div> </div> <div>48. I want to be wealthy enough to be a blessing to other families in need.</div> <div> </div> <div>49. There are at least 2 paint colors in every room as I’m very indecisive when it comes to home interior. I LOVE bright colors, polka dots, and anything cheerful.<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>50. I knew I wanted to marry my husband after our first date and most days I’m glad I got to. </div> <div> </div> <div>51. Art is therapy for me. I love to sketch with my kids, paint, and make homemade cards. </div> <div> </div> <div>52. I love trying new recipes. </div> <div> </div> <div>53. I hate to drive. </div> <div> </div> <div>54. I’m a terrible sales person, I don’t like to charge more than I paid. Hence the end of my Mary Kay career. </div> <div> </div> <div>55. I struggle at being a compliant and submissive wife as I am have a natural born silver tongue. </div> <div> </div> <div>56. I believe that God’s plans are grander than our own even if we never understand the difficulties we are going through. </div> <div> </div> <div>57. I cannot stand most dogs or cats.... or any other animals, unless it's just observing nature or visiting the zoo. LOVE nature. Baby animals are fine, but I wouldn't take one home.As far as I'm concerned, animals are meant to be <span style="font-style: italic;">outside</span> my home! ;-)<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>58. I used to love cream soda until I got preggie for the first time. </div> <div> </div> <div>59. When I get angry I often cry. </div> <div> </div> <div>60. I share drinks with others: my kids, hubby, sisters... whoever is thirsty. </div> <div> </div> <div>61. I make daily lists. About everything.</div> <div> </div> <div>62. I love wine, but rarely drink it.<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>63. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">My husband has more patience with me than I deserve. </span></div> <div> </div> <div>64. I love to play board games, card games, pretty much any games.... except poker, because I HATE to lose money. </div> <div> </div> <div>65. I punish myself by comparing myself to other moms. </div> <div> </div> <div>66. I have many projects started that are cluttering up our home. My want-to-do list is bigger than my time-to-do list. </div> <div> </div> <div>67. I love to go camping; it is truly down time for me. </div> <div> </div> <div>68. I have never and will never deal with a litter box.</div> <div> </div> <div>69. I hate cucumbers, but love almost every other vegetable and fruit.</div> <div> </div> <div>70. Especially loves avocados. Mmmm...<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>71. I never had fried squash until I married into my husband's family.</div> <div> </div> <div>72. I never had fried okra until I married into my hubby's family.</div> <div> </div> <div>73. I'd never had mac and cheese from a box until I married into this family... you get the idea!!<br /><br /></div> <div>74. Growing up, we had three sit-down home-cooked meals a day. Often it was a big wonderfully delicious chef salad with grilled chicken for lunch.</div> <div> </div> <div>75. I was homeschooled off and on growing up. We were always given the option. </div> <div> </div> <div>76. I homeschool, but do not plan to give my kids the option. I've prayed about this and I think God knows better than my kids. </div> <div> </div> <div>77. My husband has one older sister, one older step-sister, one older step-brother, two younger twin sisters, and one younger half-brother. They range in age from, like 32-years old to 13-years old. </div> <div> </div> <div>78. I feel like I'm getting frown wrinkles already, and I'm not even 30 yet.</div> <div> </div> <div>79. We started attending an out-of-town church and we LOVE it. It's amazing to have a steady diet of God's Word in church.<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>80. I wish I had time to scrapbook.</div> <div> </div> <div>81. I love to read, and love to read to my kids. My daughter also loves to read, but it's like pulling teeth for my 1st grade son.<br /></div> <div> </div> <div>82. My husband read classics to the kids every night. They are on Davey Crockett right now. </div> <div> </div> <div>83. I have four kids, and I still stink at potty training.</div> <div> </div> <div>84. I drink tea almost every day. I like chamomile or vanilla at night, and green tea or spiced chai during the day.<br /></div> </div> <p>85. Thankfully, I never got stretch marks anywhere. YEA!<br /></p> <p>86. If I ever build another house, I'll put hardwood floors throughout and never deal with carpeting again!</p> <p>87. I really dislike dishes. I'm not too fond of doing laundry either. Or mopping. I'd rather do cosmetic stuff like hanging pictures and painting.</p> <p>88. I had never scrubbed a toilet until I got married.</p> <p>89. I can't even imagine being without my kids all day. </p> <p>90. My husband likes all kinds of music: country, gospel, contemporary Christian, hard rock, classic rock... somtimes this drives me crazy.</p> <p>91. We had a little geo metro and the antennae was broken, so we could only get KLRC. It was great for him. </p> <p>92. I love to french braid my daughter's hair, but she hates that.</p> <p>93. My daughter has so many clothes that her closet rack collapsed. We just had to go through them all and pick out a LOT to pass on friends.<br /></p><p>94. My 9-year old daughter and I can share a few of her shirts. I love it!</p><p>95. Both of my parents run marathons, but I can't even jog around the block.</p><p>96. I pronounced "minestrone" wrong for years.</p><p>97. I love to decorate, but I'm not a perfectionist by any means. I paint fast. I decoupage fast. I make things pretty quickly, and then move on to the next thing. </p><p>98. I love using photos in art...personalizing binders, puzzles, magnets, you name it. What kid doesn't love to look at himself?</p><p>99. I hate amusement rides. Boats. Airplanes. I get <span style="font-style: italic;">extremely</span> motion sick. </p><p>100. I love the smell of Silver Dollar City.<br /></p><p>101. One of my life goals is to learn to play the guitar.</p><p>102. I also want my kids to learn to play guitar.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5717241240972518329-8597546394647475575?l=aboutwendyjanelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Wendynoreply@blogger.com3
