I am a wife and a mother to three adorable children. My husband is a pastor, which makes me...a pastor's wife. If you had asked me 10 years ago if I would be in a church let alone be married to a pastor, the resounding scream would be,"NO"! God has brought me to places I have never thought I would end up let alone feel equipped for.
A few interesting facts about me:
- I am an introvert, but fake the other one well. At the end of every Sunday, I am exhausted. :)
- I mop the floors at least once a week, because they "feel" dirty.
- I hate mess, but hate cleaning. Love/Hate.
- I get annoyed too easily. (working on that...)
- I started sewing and quilting at least 2 years ago and despite the best intentions,
I have yet to finish a project. I totally finished a king size quilt! :) - Watching my husband interact with our daughter warms my heart.
- Breastfeeding is burdensome to me, but I refuse to buy something God has equipped me to make.
- I am uncomfortably tight
cheapwith money. - I hate folding laundry.
- I have a twin sister and secretly (not anymore) am thankful to God I didn't conceive any.
- I have a younger brother, whom I adore.
- Incidentally, my husband is convinced my real family is out there somewhere...separated at birth. :)
- I love sleep.
- My ideas are the best and God consistently reminds me that they aren't.
- I love clothes. I have never paid retail value for any clothing item. EVER.
- I taught elementary and special education for five years before becoming a stay-at-home mom.
- I forget everything. It drives my "supernatural memory" equipped husband crazy.
- I am a perfectionist and a procrastinator. Worst. Combination. Ever.
- Bi-annually, I get the urge to purge.
- I like organization, but am not always organized.
- I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. Especially running.
- Natural light during daytime hours is my favorite, dark rooms make me anxious.
- If I wasn't worried about gaining 100 pounds, I would eat cake and ice cream multiple time a day.
- I drive too fast.
- I yell too much. (working on that too).
- Sometimes I act weird just to make my daughter laugh.
- I sing everyday, sometimes all day....now my daughter does too.
- We have Disney, Broadway, and hymn sings in our home daily. My infant son just stares at us...soon he will be powerless to join.
- I graduated Summa Cum Laude and my kids don't care.
- I am a classically trained Soprano I and NO ONE cares.
- Heavy metal music stresses me out.
- I love the grocery store. It is peaceful at 5 am.
- I find it invigorating to save money with coupons, but am too lazy to spend time clipping them.
- I am a
worrierthinker. Iworrythink all of the time, even when I sleep. Iworrythink all of the time. Iworrythink aboutworryingthinking. - Sarcasm is fun.
- I DO NOT enjoy talking on the phone. I find it awkward...especially when saying goodbye. It's me, not you.
- Waking up before 6 is excruciating for me. But worth it.
- My husband is my pastor...forever.
- I seldom cry. I want to, but can't.
- Quiet people and people who don't smile make me nervous.
- Pet Peeves: Open cabinet doors, chewing with mouth open, standing in doorways or pathways, indecisiveness, and talking to someone who isn't listening.
- If I were a millionaire, I would most likely still clean my own house......but I would hire a chef.
- I hate summer because my hair never looks nice.
- I love winter because I am ALWAYS 1000 degrees. (I feel anxious when I think of menopause)
I have nothing figured out...nothing...but can, at any moment, fool anyone into thinking I do!
