  • I just read through your list and we have a lot of the same likes (John Piper, Elf, the important stuff;…we should be friends;) We were also at EWU at the same time…how crazy is that!?? I did my MS in School Psychology 2002-2004 at EWU (after that I was away doing internship/thesis stuff). Anyway, have a good day!

  • I can’t believe you are allergic to apples and love the Indianapolis Colts. I am fatally allergic to bananas and I grew up in Indianapolis and will always be a Colts fan. Our house is fun since my husband is a die hard Patriots fan!

    We are young marrieds with no kids yet ourselves. I really enjoyed reading tons of your blog posts today!

  • My personality color was green/yellow (peridot), I’m also a Sanguine-Phlegmatic (sounds like a disease)

    Winco is AMAZING-winco, Juice it up, souplantation, and trader joes were the hardest thing to say goodbye to when I came home from Cali…and the sun…and palm trees…and everything else!

    The swings always make me sick…

    I voted for Kelly every week too!!! It gave me this weird complex where I thought I owned her success and was really irritated by her first album impressed by the second and didn’t really care by the time the third came around :o )

    I own all the Harry potters too :o )

  • You do look like Judy Garland.
    I was attracted to your blog because of the Proverbs 31. My husband used to refer to me as his ” Proverbs 31 woman”. I felt sooo honored.
    Go ck out my blog about the book study I am in titled “Community Group”. We are doing it on a book about women in the Bible. It is good!
