8 Random Facts/Habits About Myself

I've been tagged by Larissa so here it goes!

Here are the rules. 1)Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. (2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. (4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.


1. I knew before I got to college that I would major in Elementary Education and would teach for X many years. My ultimate goal was to stay home and raise a Christian family (some of you are cringing at the idea of being a stay home mom, but I say whatever works best for your family).


2. I thrive on socialization! If I don't get some girl conversation during the week then I'm in low spirits. I feel like I get along with most people, but have only a few core friends.

3. I grew up practically fighting night and day with my sisters, but now they are my closest friends. I love and cherish spending time with them.

4. A really bad habit of mine is biting my nails, especially when I'm nervous.

5. I mentioned this in a previous post but I can't stand for my kids to have boogers, ear wax, or dirt under their fingernails. Which is always going to be an issue b/c they are kids... especially with boys! I try and tell myself to let it go, but I end up holding Thomas down and getting his nasty nose friends...you get the picture (maybe a little OCD).

6. I've always been a very competitive person until recently(over the last few years) when I just have to shrug it off and not let it bother me. Ex: Competing with Matt in Bible Classes in college to make a better grade, or playing any type of card/board game, sports (when I played intramural), or trying to beat Randi's speed on the elliptical:)

7. I HATE shopping for shoes/purses. Don't get me wrong I like to shop just not for those items. Which I know Carrie is shaking her head right now after reading that. I normally take either Carrie or my sisters to help me in this department. And if I have had the same purse for more than a year you can bet my sister will get me a new one for Christmas or my birthday. Not that I really need a purse anymore since I carry my oh so fashionable diaper bag everywhere:)

8. Last but not least: I dream about being a dancer...you know from watching Dancing with the Stars. I would LOVE to do that. Not in front of people just to be able to dance like those girls...maybe with a little more coverage though.

I tag Lauren, Kim, Carrie, and Randi!
