Blog Challenge

For me, half the struggle of blogging is figuring out what to say. It's actually kinda hard since I can't post my kids names or pictures and because at some point normal life is kinda boring, especially without pictures.  So I've decided to join a blog challenge I ran across this morning.  I am sure I won't blog every day for 30 days, but it'll at least give me something to blog about 1-2 times a week when I get time to sit down.  Here's the list of blog topics:

This is one of the pictures from our family photo session in early December. I know it isn't up close, but I still like it.  Ok, onto 15 interesting facts about me.

1. I love to memorize scripture.  It is very rewarding to be able to quote verses or to know where passages of scripture are during a sermon.  It also helps when fighting off that pesky devil to know the Word and use it to fight him.

2.  I played the bass guitar in a Christian rock band from ages 14 - 21.  I would say I can probably still play, but I wouldn't know since my bass guitar has been sitting in the corner in its case for over 3 years. Ha!

3. I love teaching.  Whether it is Sunday School, or doing homework with my kids, or helping someone at work.  I really enjoy seeing someone else "get it" when I've helped them.

4. My first movie to see in a theater was "Princess Diaries" on my 19th birthday.

5. I went to Nicaragua on a mission trip when I was 13.

6. I am very competitive. Very. I don't care what it is (except playing sports which I like to do, but know I am not good at) if I have a chance to win it, I will compete and you will see a totally different side of me.

7. I have been at the same church since I was 4 and I love it.  It is my family and my home and I wouldn't ever have it any other way. 

8. Me and my husband met on the internet in March of 1999, before meeting on the internet was cool or popular.

10. I have been at the same job for almost 10 years, a third of my life.

11. I can't whistle.

12. I love organizing but hate cleaning.

13. I love to bake when I have time.

14. I was born in Nebraska, but have lived in Texas for most of my life.

15. My first job was in college at a daycare watching 11 two year olds and I still miss it sometimes.
