25 things you may, or may not know about me.

Well, I decided to join in on the newest rage. So, here my friends, is my list of 25 things you may, or may not know about me.

1. I got married when I was only 21 years old. At the time, I thought I was "so old", but looking back I realize I was very young. But, I don't regret it for one second.

2.I love my career as a social worker, but if I could do it all over again, I would have chosen to go into architecture. I love floor plans, and building layout. Who knows, maybe I still will do that someday.

3. I spent my first nine years living on a farm, and I think even though most of my life since has been in town - the farm lifestyle is still in my blood. I hope that we can have an acreage and horses someday.

4. My favorite food is corn on the cob. Covered with butter and salt. Mmmm

5. Sometimes I wish I could go back and do high school over again. I LOVED Prairie and miss the friends I made there. Other than Jarrett who is now my 1/2 cousin, I don't ever see anyone from those days anymore. I am looking forward to the 10 year reunion!

6. I wish I was more outspoken about social activism. I wish I lived in an area were I could be more involved with it, and I sometimes think the world we live in is upside down and so unfair.

7. I have one sister who I love more than anything. We couldn't be more opposite, but I couldn't love her more!

8. By the age of 24 I had two degree - one in Behavioural Science, and one in Social Work.

9. I think for the most part, I hated my years at NUC. I loved my friends, but overall it was not a great time in my life. Other than Dan, who honestly kept me there.

10. I spent two weeks sailing around on a Tall ship when I was 16. I loved that life style, and if I was more of a free and easy person - I would go and live/work as a deck crew in the Caribbean. But I don't want to be there more than I do here!

11. I have the craziest dreams. People from the most obscure areas of my life often make crazy appearances in my dreams. (No not risque dreams - just out there!).

12. I used to want at least 4 kids. Now that I have had a c-section, I am not so sure. I hope to at least be blessed with 3 though.

13. My Grandpa has been gone for over a year now. I still miss him sometimes, and sometimes I catch a wiff of something that smells like him and makes me tear up. And when I hear certain hymns, I can just see him with his hand in the air loving our family singing times. These memories make me equally happy and sad.

14. I love to read. I read all the time, and all kinds of books. I sincerely hope that Grady loves to read as much as I do.

15. I played the French horn all through my school band years. I wish I would have stuck it out with the French Horn, and was right now playing with a symphony. I love music, and I loved the way playing in a large classical band made me feel.

16. I suck at keeping in touch with good friends from my past. I have a few girls in my life that I miss and care about a lot, but can't seem to remember how to call!

17. My least favorite household chore is folding socks. I despise it.

18. Sometimes I feel religiously misunderstood. I often feel judged, and don't think many people know the real me in this area.

19. I think my Baby is the cutest, smartest, most amazing baby that has ever lived. I am lucky to be his mommy.

20. When I was pregnant, I craved Cinnamon so badly that I contemplated eating my cinnamon flavored tooth paste. Luckily, my rational brain beat out my pregnancy one and I did not eat the tooth paste.

21. I will never, if I can help it, live in the city again. It makes me feel claustrophobic, and smothered. I need wide open spaces.

22. One of my favorite places on earth is Sooke, BC. Its beautiful, and is Dan and I's special place on earth.

23. I love that my parents live down the street from us. I missed them so much when they were in Ontario, and I am selfishly glad they are back.

24. I have been teaching myself to play the guitar. I have a ways to go, but find it so relaxing and the best way for me to connect with God at this time in my life.

25. There is nothing more or less that I need in my life at this time. I love my hubby, I love Grady, and I love myself. Done.
