And the Award Goes To ~

Thanks so much to Tammy at http://www.homeofamagnolia.blogspot.com/ for the Honest Scrap Award! I probably am a little too honest sometimes! ;) As the receipent of the award I must state 10 things about myself and then pass this along to 10 fellow bloggers.

10 facts about me ~

1. I was raised in a Christian home, accepted Christ at the age of 6. I was taught at an early age the importance of prayer, faith, and fellowship with other believers. It is by far the best thing that my parents gave me or taught me rather.
2. I don't often have time to be alone and pray, but I do it all day ~ and a LOT. I pray for my children a LOT ~ pray for Christian friends for them, Christian teachers, Godly spouses, that God will help them know right from wrong. One of my biggest prayers for them is that they will accept Christ at an early age and live to glorify Him. I also pray that they will know without a doubt what field they should enter when in college ~ crazy? Heck no! I'm telling you ~ I can think up some stuff to pray for! If you are lacking of things to pray for ~ call me ~ I can give you a list! ;)
3. I only dated Dalton about 8 weeks before we were engaged ~ Hey! When you know it's right...it's right! We were engaged the end of July 1999 and were married in June of 2000...almost 1o years! Time flies by when you are having fun! He is my best friend and sooo much fun to live with! I am a lucky girl!
4. I ALWAYS wanted children ~ and wanted 4! I can remember daydreaming about being a Mommy! (it's not that we don't want 4 anymore, but I have some health issues we were unaware of and it is a miracle we were able to have any children!)
5. I have taught K3, fifth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth grade, tenth grade, and twelfth grade! I NEVER wanted to teach middle or high school, but LOVE it!
6. I am terrified of rats ~ really all 4 legged creatures creep me out....really!
7. I love to get a stain out of something! I NEVER let my children wear bibs...the more stains...the better! Crazy, I know!
8. I can't do a cartwheel. Never have been able to!
9. I believe in using what you have ~ Why save it? I use my Waterford glasses,china, etc. at least a few times a month! I also let MD and JD wear their best clothes to school. Stains aren't an issue and why save them? They are going to out grow them! My motto is ~ why buy it if you aren't going to use it!
10. I LOVE the smell of Pinesol and clean things make me smile! :)
