I found this old posting and wondered how much I changed or what my 30 facts would be today. I see a lot that would stay the same.
1.) No matter what people may think Family is my everything
This is still true for me. Family is my everything. We may be loud dysfunctional, fight occasionally, get on each others' nerves. But that's okay, because in the end we are always there for each other. And our love is deep!
2.) Drama really ticks me off especially when its perpetuated over and over by the same person, even more so if its family doing it
This still ticks me off, I think it always will. I think what's worst is when there is one who creates it, others feed off of it, and just give it the steam it needs to perpetuate. Leave it alone, ignore it, bite your tongue and move on.
3.) I believe 99% in forgiveness but somethings you just can't forgive
I am a huge believe in Forgiveness. Jesus taught his disipiles a prayer- The Lords' Prayer, or The Our Father. In it it clearly states "Forgive us our sins as WE FORGIVE those who tresspass against us." This is the whole Golden Rule concept. I am 99% of the way to forgiveness, and I am working hard to get that last way. Despite what others' may think, I believe forgiveness is an essential part of getting into heaven.
4.) I am sure Leann will finish my blanket... sometime
She is crocheting me a blanket. She is also a mom to three, and very busy. So I know it will be done when she can finish it!
5.) Greg is my Godsend. The answer to my prayers for my husband
Greg is my Godsend, is a rock-my rock, in this tubulation we call life. He is there for me whatever the need may be. Now this doesn't mean at times I don't get annoyed, frustrated, or downright angry with him. I think its impossible to live with someone, and not get annoyed by them. But love is sticking through that annoyance, and see his flaws, and loving him for those flaws.
6.) I love going to Celebration Church
I do love Attending Celebration. We need to do so more often, and on a regular basis.
7.) I pray every day, talk to God all the time, and talk to Grandma Betty Grandpa Jim and Papa daily. I miss them so much
This has not changed, I still pray, and talk to my love ones in Heaven. I've added a couple sadly.
8.) Being a foster parent is so much harder then I thought, but a million times more rewarding!
I would move this up to maybe number one or two. Its a gazillion times harder then I ever thought/expected. Its hard to have these kiddos in your life. You want the best for them, and Wisconsin is completely for protecting the parent's rights, not the children's rights. Its really hard to watch kiddos go back to ill prepared parents, or kiddos who will be in the system for years due to parent's circumstances.
9.) I fight for what I believe in
Absolutely! Especially when it comes to my kiddos.
10.) I couldn't be prouder of my goddaughters Michaela and Kayley. I hope they learn from me to stand for what's right
What is right, doesn't neccessairy mean what you think is right...
11.) Even though I am so excited for Shadowfever, I know I am going to cry
This was an amazing *ending* to a Great book! Its continued in the Iced series. But I am not starting that until there are more books of it out!
12.) I wish we could see our family in va more often, I wish I could show them everything we love about Wisconsin
This says it all! I miss them...
13.)I would do pretty much anything for a Sheetz hotdog, a cherry 7-up slushie, and salsa doritoes
This is bold and underlined, because it is true! I crave this meal!
14.)I hate when Greg has the tv turned up and I have to talk louder on the phone and he says your so loud on that thing. nss! you have the tv blaring.
Usually when he says this now he talking to Sapphira! :)
15.) Some day I hope to experience pregnancy myself
At least once.
16.) my husband thinks I am stubborn
I think this is still true.
17.) When I graduate my goal is to go to Scotland for the summer and intern
That would have been an amazing opportunity! But when I graduated, Sapphira started therapy right after. It would have been irresponsible of me to take her, and I couldn't leave her!
18.) when I come home from Scotland I want to start my own business focusing on graphics and photography
Instead of going to Scotland, I went to Vegas for four days. And started back on school immediately for my bachelors degree. Hopefully when I graduate in Dec 2013, sometime shortly after we can make it to Scotland.
19) I also want to build our own house then
With loans the way they are, unless something changes, I think we will have to purchase a house. But I would love love love to build my dream house!
20.) I would love to renew our vows on Mackinac Island with those closest to us
Mackinac Island, or maybe Gretna Green in Scotland. I still want to do this, but I want to wait until we adopt Sapphira.
21.) I am 9 years and nine months apart from my Aunt Meme, I am also 9 years and nine months apart from Delie my sister, Kayley is also 9 yrs about from her, For the tradition to continue I need to get pregnant in Aug 2011.
This didn't happen but that is okay....
22.) I absolutely love going to school at Globe... most days
Now that I am working on my Bachelor's Degree, through Globe, I attend school on line. Which really works for me.
23.) I love my Puggle Pugsley, and cant wait to add to my fur babies, a newfie and a maltipoo
Where to start? I do love Pugsley, but he is becoming more and more high strung. I sometimes think maybe our family isn't the best for him. Sapphira is rough and tumble, and he is not. He gets stressed by her antics. I'd love a maltipoo, but I think for our family we need something sturdy, like a Newfie, Golden, or a Lab.
24.) I love my sisters and my Cysters
25.) I have a huge crush on Gerard Butler
Oh Aye! I do! mmm he is scrumdiliumpious!
26.) it bugs me when people dont turn their blinker on before turning or they forget to turn it off
I absolutely hate that!
27.) it bothers me that people treat children so callously
This still shocks me, the way people treat their kids. And especially how they use their child for their own gains. As a foster parent I see this a lot sadly. Some social workers are in tune with it and adjust accordingly. While others, are oblivious. And the worst is the ones that know it, tell you about it and still let the parents get a way with it. For social workers like this... I hope there is a special place in hell for them.
28.) I cant wait for Summer 2011.. well really just summer
Summer is my favorite time of the year! And Summer 2013 we are kicking off with a trip to Disney World. One of the many reasons I am trying to shape up! :)
29.) I could really go for some pizza soup from Springhill Tavern
I love their pizza soup, and their mozzerella sticks. MMM both are so yummy. But right now I am focused on my goals of losing weight, becoming more active, and healthier. I want to run the Color Run this year, and Bike around Mackinac Island, and next year I want to run the Princess Half Marathon at Disney.
30.) I hope to one day visit every 50 states
I still would love to do this, I think that would be amazing.
