25 Things - I guess I have to, since so many other people are doing it....

1) I love to do nothing.

2) I love popcorn with seasoning salt and lots of butter!

3) I love to pray. In fact, I tend to not read my Bible and just pray... so bad, I know.

4) I never walk my dogs. MAINLY because they love to drag me down the street!!! I'm a wimp.

5) To-do lists have changed my life.

6) I respect my husband more than anyone else in the whole world. He works harder than anyone else I know.

7) I watch movies while I clean - that is to say, I have them on in the background... typically a musical so I can belt it out like Barbara Steisand or Julie Andrews.

8) I secretly want tatoos. I secretly want to be a rock star!

9) I love teaching and playing piano. I HATE practicing piano.

10) I've read Jane Eyre 8 times. I've read all of Jane Austen's books twice and have promised myself that I can read all of them again each year.

11) I play World of Warcraft and am a huge closet gaming NERD. (I blame it on the homeschooling.)

12) I really enjoy walks and hiking.

13) I want to go to Europe someday - especially Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

14) I try not to care about politics, although I find myself getting into it. I hate it though because I just know that when I get to meet Jesus, I'm really not going to care about whether or not I was an american, or a conservative, or whatever. I just want to learn how to love people... seriously.

15) If I had to live or die for a particular political issue, it would be abortion, one of the greatest human rights issues. I also believe in international aid, and support Harvest of Hope. Check them out!

16) Adam and I buy powerball tickets when it goes over $100 mil. Don't worry, if you know me, you'll probably get something. :D

17) I hate scary movies. I watched The Shining in college, and it freaked me out so much that I slept with the light on for months... no joke. In fact! My brother and I were watching tv one day and an ad came on for a showing of that movie, and I actually started crying. A little over the top, but seriously... that movie disturbed me!!!

18) My passion is very short lived, yet very powerful. I love something with all my heart and soul for about a week, and then move on to something else.

19) I love very green landscapes.

20) My favorite songs by Kristie Braselton are Take My Life, Let Us Run, and I, the Mountain.

21) I love depressing music. The more depressing, the more I love it.

22) I used to tell people that my dream job was to sing back-up for Sarah MacLaughlan. Then I heard her live album and realized that I couldn't because I can't even scream as high as she sings.....

23) I've learned that it's ok to love popular things.

24) I once had the first three chapters of Philippians memorized... but a lot of it is lost now. :(

25) I usually pray for really general things, like asking God to humble me... and He definitely answers them! It's just, those lessons take a long time. Recently, however, I was sitting in church, and Justin Marshall was talking about how God waits for us and longs to be with us. That's always something I have a hard time understanding, so that morning I found myself asking God to show me that truth. I asked Him, in a sense, to prove it to me. Later that afternoon, I got an email from a friend talking about God's jealousy for our worship and love, and compared it with human longing for relationships. It was the first time ever that I felt like God really, truly was there and loved me and wanted me to know Him more. It changed my whole life.

That's all! Thanks!
