100 Things

I wanted to let y'all know a little more about me.  I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression about who I am.  Coming up with 100 things about yourself is tough. 

1.  I'm a Jesus follower.
2.  I love my middle name.  Faith.
3.  I dream of a simpler life.  A simpler time.
4.  I like pretty things.
5.  I love to wear dresses.
6.  I love going to see a movie, but I rarely get to do it.
7.  I love paisley.
8.  Sweet tea is my favorite drink.
9.  I want to adopt.  Really Bad.  God is really pressing this on my heart!
10.  I help coordinate a MOPS group.
11.  I used to be a Surgical Technologist.  I HATED it. 
12.  I can be extremely critical.  I'm constantly working on it.
13.  I read.  A LOT.
14.  I never carved a pumpkin until I was 24.
15.  I want to have a house full of children.  My mom & dad (who only had one amazing, cute baby...heh) think I'm crazy. 
16.  I am a little crazy.
17.  I love movies when they have a happy ending.  :)
18.  I love to travel, but I love being home.
19.  I love curly hair.
20.  The only diamonds I own are my engagement ring & wedding bands.  Everything else is beaded jewelry & I'm completely happy with that.
21.  My Husband says I'm "eclectic".  I take that as a compliment.
22.  I am terrified of heights.  I have no desire to be in high buildings or jump off of high things.  If God intended me to fly he would have given me wings.  :)
23.  I love lazy days at home.
24.  I was a wild child.
25.  I've been known to have "hippie tendencies".  Does that even make since?
26.  I'm very passionate about recycling.
27.  I love vintage things.
28.  Marshalls & TJ Maxx are two of my favorite stores.  I rarely go to the mall.
29.  As a family we've been trying to de-program ourselves from the "American Dream".  There is so much more to this life.
30.  I do not enjoy working out.  I know some people love it, but I just don't see the fun in it.  :)
31.  I am naturally lazy.  I have to constantly push myself.  Becoming a Mother has helped this tremendously. 
32.  I don't like animals in the house.  Pet hair drives me crazy.
33.  I'm very thankful to be a stay at home momma.  I know how lucky I am to be able to do it.
34.  I'm always striving to be a better Christian and to show others Christ's love.  It is not always easy.  In fact it's really hard, but I know my Jesus demands more of me!
35.  I'm a terrible cook.  I lack all culinary skills. 
36.  I like white furniture.
37.  I love organization.  It helps me feel better.
38.  I yell at my Husband sometimes & I get frustrated with my Son sometimes.  I hate it & try not to.
39.  My parents used to make me go to a thousand auctions with them when I was young.  I thought it was so LAME.  Now I enjoy them too.

41.  I want to live out in the country.
42.  I want to serve my Lord with reckless abandon.
43.  I love the beach.  A lot.
44.  I love North Carolina.  It's a beautiful place. 
45.  God is opening my mind to how much bigger this world is than me. 
46.  I have the sweetest little boy.
47.  Watching TV makes me fall asleep.
48.  Turquoise is my favorite color.

50.  I love babies.
51.  I love me some Chick-fil-a.

55.  I want this bracelet & I want it full of my babies names.
56.  I love when Jackson grabs my face to give me a kiss.  It's the sweetest.

58.  I hate bad drivers.  I hate slow drivers. 
59.  I love the way Jackson laughs.
60.  I love that Jerry knows so much about EVERYTHING.  Seriously, he should be on Jeopardy!
61.  I feel bad that Jackson inherited my short legs.  Poor child.
62.  I hate bathing suits.  Really?  Who thought that was a good idea?
63.  I live in flip flops & flats.
64.  I hope I never have to have false teeth when I get older.  Blek.

70.  I don't like when someones hair is too long and covers their eyes or face.
71.  I love getting mail.  Just not bills.
72.  I think thank you cards are really important.

84.  I love reading books before bed to my sweet baby.
85.  I don't get enough dates with my Husband.
86.  I will NOT go to Haunted Houses during Halloween.  Why do I want someone to scare me?  No thanks!
87.  I worry about crazy things.
88.  My elbows are double-jointed.  I know that makes no sense, but if you saw them, you would understand.
89.  I hardly ever sweat.  It's a blessing and a curse.  I don't get all gross & sweaty, but I get overheated easily & it makes me sick.
90.  I don't watch a lot of TV anymore.  I used to, but I've realized most of it is junk.
91.  I'm the daughter of a King.  :)
92.  I only have a couple of close friends and I prefer it that way.
93.  Fairness is very important to me.
94.  I often wonder what Heaven will be like.
95.  I only wear this kind of chapstick & this kind of lip gloss.  Lips are important!  I HATE CARMEX!  I think my friend Chrissy should stop wearing it because it stinks!  (love you, Chrissy!)
96.  We're trying to start buying some things local.  It's harder than you think (and sometimes quite more expensive).

98.  Sleep.  I love it.  It's important.
99.  I really love blogging.
