Did you know?

My friend Cynthia tagged me (a few days back) to share 10 things you probably don't know about me... let's see what you do!

10. Drawing is one of my favorite pasttimes... though I rarely get the chance anymore. I specifically enjoy doing charcoal drawings of kids. Eyes are my specialty.

9. I'm a Facebook rookie. I finally made my first entry a couple of weeks ago, but it hasn't gone much further than that. I'm pretty clueless, but I don't mind. This blog is where I prefer to share! Though I do enjoy keeping up a little with non-bloggers there.

8. On that note, I really enjoy blogs. Sometimes I feel fellow bloggers are the only non-next-door-neighbor friends that I can keep up with! It's such a challenge to foster friendships in this busy time of little ones much less have a clue where to even start when we actually see each other... glad we can smile with & support each other even when we are too exhausted to get together!

7. We lead a Sophomore GodTeen group at our parish. They are awesome. It's the perfect outlet for me to get my high schooler teaching fix each week without having to do 9 preps. ;) Plus, it encourages me to know our Catholic faith better & also has been like practice with raising teenagers. More practice necessary before they are our own, please!

6. My favorite flowers are daisies. They look so bright & cheerful plus they last outside forever & in a vase for almost as long. Just seeing them on the table brings a smile to my face.

5. I volunteer at Birthright as a counselor for women in crisis pregnancy situations. It's the most powerful pro-life work that I've ever been involved in.

***

4. Though I've only had them a handful (ha!) of times in my life, I LOVE a good pedicure. Manicures are nice, too, but there's just something fabulous about happy feet. :)

3. I've made it a point not to buy Nutella. The stuff is too darn good! I could put it on bananas, bread, waffles, cookies, pretzels, pizza?, well just about anything. If we have it in the cupboard I can't stop eating it until it's gone. I think it is my one true food addiction.

2. I am a gamer. Not video gaming particularly, more board gaming. I could play Boggle all day long & still not get enough. Taboo, oh yeah. Cranium, you betcha. Pictionary, definitely. The only board game I can think of that I don't love? Chess.

1. We've added another member to our family... baby #4 is due to arrive on September 1st! We are so excited. :) It's been an interesting ride so far, so please keep our family in your prayers. Thank you!
