15 Random Things About Me

Here is a list in no particular order that you might like to know about me (or not). Here we go!

1. I watch Arthur, Good Luck Charlie, and Austin and Ally even when there are no kids in the room or I happen to be alone in the house.

2. I love fried okra. It is my all time favorite food. I will even eat it boiled. But fried okra is one of my heart's true loves.

3. Sonic is another love. Do you have a Sonic drive- in where you live? You have to try a cherry coke there or a cherry limeade. I love pulling in and ordering food. It's kind of a miracle. You sit in your car and they bring you food.

4. I had my first child at age 28 and my last child at age 42. I actually had my first three kids in one year. My first was born in February of 1991 and 9 months later our twins were born prematurely in November. I don't recommend doing it that way.

5. My favorite comedy movie is Father of the Bride with Steve Martin. . My favorite dramatic movie is Slumdog Millionaire. God spoke to me during that movie. It changed my life. I will blog about that again soon.

6.I have shaken hands with two Presidents - President Clinton and President Bush. Well, actually, I think President Clinton shook my little boy's hand who I was holding at the time. He may or may not have shaken mine. I was a little flustered.  I have a family photo taken with President Bush sitting in my husband's office.

7. I grew up in church, but sincerely gave my heart to the Lord when I was 19 years old.

8. I met my husband at a Bible college in Louisiana. We have been married for 24 years and he has been a pastor for 11 years. God spoke to my heart when I was 21 years old that I would meet my husband at Bible college and that is exactly what happened.

9. We lived and worked at Teen Challenge for 14 years.It is a ministry that helps people with addictions such as drugs and alcohol. My husband graduated from the Teen Challenge program when he was 19.

10. I really miss Jon and Kate Plus 8. I still watch their old dvd episodes. Wouldn't it be great if they could forgive one another and get back together? I always pray for happy endings. It could happen.

11. I also watch 19 Kids and Counting. Michelle Duggar fascinates me. I love to watch how she takes care of her family. I love their message that each child is valuable, no matter how many you have.

12. I started out as an English major in college but switched to Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade.

13. My brother is a police officer.

14. I have never parachuted from a plane and have no plans to do so.

15.I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. I don't even know exactly why. But I truly love it!

Well, there you go. I have probably left out many interesting tidbits that I will remember at 3 am tomorrow morning. Maybe another time and another blog:) Have a blessed and happy day!

  6. I miss Sonic! I don't think they have any in the Bay area, or at least not that I know. There is just something special about the feeling of ordering from your car. :) And that's really cool about meeting two presidents!

    1. Yes, Sonic is great, but I can't eat my favorite tator tots with cheese so much anymore. I have to space my visits for those way out or there will be too much of me. lol Where are you from originally?
