25 Random (and Uselss) Things About Me

. . . so I got tagged to do this for facebook and since it took so long, I figured I'd share it on here too. Because I know everybody's dying to know!! Just kidding! :)

1. I used to think Marcia was my friend, but then she tagged me to do these 25 things about me. (Just kidding, Marcia . . . I still love you!)

2. 12 years ago, I married an amazing man, Dave, who truly loves me as Christ loves us.

3. I have a beautiful little 5 year-old princess, Charity Lynn.

4. If mommys and daddys got to pick their children out at a Build-a-Child store, I couldn't have picked a more perfect daughter for me!

5. I am blessed, every day in every way!

6. Dave and I met when we were both working at McDonald's. He worked there for 6 years and still enjoys the food. I worked there for about 6 months and hate the food.

7. I haven't been employed since June 2008, when I was laid off.

8. I'm optimistic I am going to get a job soon, so Charity can stay at the Christian school she is attending.

9. I am scared to send Charity to metro public schools. Sorry they're not the little community schools I'm used to.

10. I was born in Attleboro, the town next to the Patriot's Gillette Stadium.

11. My dad and I moved to Maine when I was three, after my birth mother was killed in a car accident. Dad decided he wanted to go to boat building school.

12. So I grew up on the coast of Maine very near to Canada.

13. I'm in love with The Today Show. Don't bug me until I've had my coffee and Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann.

14. I have these 10 lbs. I take them off, put them on, take them off, etc . . . When they're on, people often ask me if I'm pregnant.

15. I actually have been asked 4 time if I was pregnant and I was just chubby in the belly. Word to the not-so-wise: If you don't know for sure, don't say a word!

16. Speaking of people inserting their foot into their mouth, I've also been asked at least 3 times if Dave, my slightly-older-than-me husband, was my dad! People!!

17. I love my church and very actively involved: teaching Sunday School, singing in choir, a Care Group Co-Leader, and assisting with my husband with the Asian youth group.

18. I am learning Spanish so I know what those people in front of me at Wal*Mart are saying.

19. I love heat and could easily live on the equator!

23. Valentine's Day is my FAVORITE holiday. For real . . . it used to be Christmas, but it's getting to be too much in my old age!

25. I love Facebook (maybe a little too addicted) and all my friends and family I've re-connected with. You all make my life so blessed!!
