about ME

i have done this before but thought it might be fun to do again. i know that i will think of different things to say since i am at a different point in my life. i am enjoying life to the fullest right now. super busy but well worth it. i am a wife, mother and now Auntie! i work both inside the house and outside of our home, i volunteer at my son's school, with the band and am on the Women's Ministry Team at my church for the 5th year in a row. i have been an Auntie for almost 7 weeks now and i am so in love with my niece. i am team mom for my son's pinto baseball team, GO CUBS! i love this job, it is so much fun hanging out with this little boys in the dug out and getting to be apart of this time in their lives. my job outside of the home is being a substitute lunch lady, i love it! it is the easiest job i have ever had and have enjoyed traveling around and working at the different schools in our district. i am a sub so i don't have to work if i don't want to =) we have 10 weeks left of this school year, wow, i can't believe it! i am looking forward to the summer with my family. so far we are going to try and make our garage more functional, fix the side yard between us and our neighbor and go on our family reunion vacation to Oregon. some random things about me, not in order. i love JESUS. i love braiding my hair different ways for work. coffee in the morning is the way to start my day (some coffee with my creamer that is). i need to read my bible more. i LOVE the rain. wearing my soft fussy socks is a must when i am hanging out at home. i don't make my hubby's lunch. i think i did for a little while but haven't in about 10 years now. we will celebrate our 14th anniversary this June. i love treating my hubby and i to starbucks. i enjoy taking the kids to get yogurt or ICEE's, just for fun. my boys are growing up so fast and i am so excited to see what GOD will do in their lives as one becomes a young adult and as he gets ready to decide where he will go to college. i LOVE family time, with my whole family. BOWMAN NIGHTS!! playing boardgames, cards & dice are a must in my home. i am spoiled by my hubby with back rubs most every night. i have neck and back pain due to..... age.... kids.... arthritis. pain free or not GOD IS GOOD! i have asthma and allergies. i am allergic to avocados, cantaloupe, nuts, bananas and i am sure theres more i can't think of right now. i love my iPhone. i love sun tea. i put my tea out on everyday. i wish that i didn't have to hide my spare tire =) it is from the foods i eat, but i don't want to watch everything i eat. for the most part i eat pretty good. we had a dog for a year, and loved her so much. since we returned her to my brother we have been missing her but aren't ready to get another dog yet. it was a great experience having a dog like her. i walked in my first 5k for a great cause and will do it again next year with my family. i watch FOX5 news every morning. i don't mind cleaning the house, doing laundry, but could do without doing the dishes or dusting. i love cooking. new recipes are so much fun for me, i get so excited to have my family taste my meals. i love handmade things. i love it when my Aunties make me things to wear or use. there has been a lot of cancer in my family. a lot of people i love have gone on to Heaven. i sometimes miss them more on random days. i am so blessed and grateful for the good and bad. i have a lot of friends (i love each and every one of them) but not a friend i talk to everyday, other than my hubby. he is my best friend. i sometimes am sad about this, i think i sometimes need this connection but, it is what it is and i can accept that =) i love my small bible study group and the connections we have with each other. they are my extended family. and i know i can call on anyone of them for any reason and they will be there with their hearts open, as i will for them. i am proud of the work my hubby does. it is awesome to see the results of his hard work. i am his #1 fan and supporters, as well as with my kids. i am amazed and humbled by the actions of others in their willingness to follow CHRIST wherever it leads them. Blessings to you all =)
