It can be bizarre when I think of how much you bloggers know about my heart, my story, and some particular idiosyncrasies about me (such as my dislike for prime numbers!) and yet there are some major gaps there! So here are a few general pieces of information, as well as some random tid-bits!
- I have two brothers- 24 and 19. (I'm 30.) I could not love them more!
- I'm a fightin' Texas Aggie! WHOOP and GIG 'EM!!!
- I was a teacher for 7 years. I taught kindergarten for two years, 1st grade for five years and 3rd grade for one year. I taught in Catholic schools the entire time. First grade is my favorite!!!
- My first kindergarten class is in EIGHTH GRADE now!!! I'm really hoping to go to their 8th grade graduation in May.
- I'm not teaching currently. We moved in October, which puts a damper in the school year. Then it didn't make sense to get a job while we were hoping for an adoption at any moment. I LOVE staying home. I LOVE LOVE LOVE devoting my time to taking care of my husband and being able to learn all I can. I LOVE being relaxed in the morning to see him off, being here when he comes home for lunch, and being relaxed instead of crazy working! I LOVE that we're not doing chores on the weekends. It's been a real blessing!
- I wish I liked talking on the phone. But I don’t. I’m really bad about calling people.
- I can do some electrical work. I installed an electrical outlet in our old house. It's really quite simple, but sounds impressive. :)
- I'm a total optimist, but I think our economy's on the verge of collapsing.
- I'm really good at Sudoku puzzles.
- I once hurled an entire cooked squash off a balcony because it was disgusting. Lisa and I each threw half into the street.
Tagging: I hate this part. I don't want to tag anyone who doesn't want to participate, and don't want to leave anyone out!!! Don't feel obligated to participate, but it is kind of fun!
- Lisa @ Cheerfully Chaotic
- Airing the Chapel
- LifeHopes (private)
- Hebrews 11:1
- A Complicated Life

HA! I'm so happy you included the squash moment! But what about the potatoes and vodka? That's MY favorite memory. Every time I have a potato that is starting to head south, I think of that and feel the need for a drink. :-)
I like #2 - not because I like the Aggies, but I like people who get excited by college sports - especially college football! Go Badgers! It seems like there is quite a few of us that enjoy college football - Hebrews, Megan, etc...watch out their might be some trash talking. Well, probably not in the case of our 3 teams playing yours - the other 3 of us are in the same conference, but you never know. :)
JBTC forgot me!!! (Oh, and Jeremiah is a big college football gal, too). I will not be blogging on Saturdays while my team (which happens to be the best college team ever) is playing!
We're praying for you, Lauren.
Ok, I can't relate to 8 out of the 10 but 2 of them I can...
#1 and #2...I have two brothers (I'm the middle one!!) and I am an Aggie...WHOOP! :):)
WHAT???? WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome!!!!!
That explains the boots! :)
What year are you? I'm class of '02.
Email me!

I'm going to see the Aggies play this weekend in CS. My DH is an Aggie '04.
Praying for you and for K. I was so sad to hear about the situation.
I also have two brothers. And one of them is 24. :D
I shall never call you again! ;-)
Cute! I only like talking on the phone to relatives who live far away. I don't like just chit-chatting on the phone to anyone. So I can relate! Fun post!
Darn, if I ended up doing this I had already thought I was going to put "I wish I liked talking on the phone" - you put it first! ha :)
I LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Boiler Up!!!!
and while we're on the subject of football...this is sort of aimed at Beth---GO SAINTS!!!!!--- :-D
I am loving these 10 things, it's so fun learning about everyone.
Haha, sorry you were tagged twice. I hadn't read Megan's yet- opps! :) Anyway, I love that we have teachery stuff in common and I agree first grade is the BEST! :) Also, the one about not liking to talk on the phone cracked me...I don't like it either!!! However, you were the 2nd blogger I've ever talked on the phone with and you were just a peach, so you don't count, ha! ;)
I don't like talking on the phone either! I'll try to think of something different though.
Thanks for tagging me! I'll try to post tomorrow. :)
Is your 19-year-old brother devout and is he cute??? I have a 19-year-old daughter! ;)
I don't like talking on the phone, either. And, I am so impressed about the outlet thing. It's as if you said you were a brain surgeon!
Wait a few years to watch your kindergarteners grow. My friend who taught second grade had the grandchildren of kids she taught before she retired. (Of course, that only happens if you stay in one place.)
Mrs. Blondie!!! I am SOOOOOO jealous!!!!
Leila- cute yes!!! devout isn't the word I'd use...
Maria and others- ok let me clarify. I dont' HATE talking on the phone! I just never really think to initiate the phone call!!!
