These are 11 things about me.

1.  I love to shop…to a fault.  There is nothing like wearing a new outfit.  My mom use to tease and say I needed disposable clothes b/c most time I would wear them once and then move on. 

2.  I met my dreamy cowboy hubby at Sonic.  Yes, Sonic.  We were both there getting drinks with friends.  His friend rolled down his window and asked for my number…the rest is history!

3.  I love to jog.  I am back in gear and have ran over 17 miles in the past week. 

4.  My biggest fear are mice.  Just ask my hubby!

5.  I got “best dressed” in high school – see that shopping addiction pays off, ha!

6.  I graduated college in 3 ½ years.  Looking back, why was I in such a hurry to grow up and work?!

7.  My favorite TV show is “Big Brother.”  I can’t get enough.  Thankfully it only comes on once a year.

8.  I started teaching preschool Sunday school this year.  Best.Job.Ever.  I absolutely love teaching young children about our amazing God!!

9.  My first job was mowing my church lawn at 16.

10.  I eat a cup of dry cereal daily.  Gluten free Chex™ are my current obsession.  Why no milk, I don't care for it and this saves me calories!  I get my calcium from a supplement.

11.  I loved playing “paper” as a young girl.  My sister & I would spend hours cutting out people and house/interior rooms out of magazines.  Then we would line up our ideal houses (living room, kitchen, bedrooms, etc…) and play all day.  Such cheap entertainment!

Here are the blogs that I nominate:

Life with the Miller's

The Farmer’s Family

Simply the Smiths

1Funky Lil Mama

Country Living with 3 Boys

The Windle Family

Life is What You Make of It

Working Momma Memos

Here are the questions for me:

1.  If you have $1 Million and you can only spend it for one day, what will you buy? 

I would pay off all our debt.  I would go ahead and pay for both my son’s college (we’ll pretend that’s possible this far in advance).  I would give both my parents and in-laws a hefty thank you cash gift...they have helped us a lot over the years!  I would then go and buy something that would hold its value well (art work, a house, etc..) for the plan to sell and then get that cash back!  So mommy could eventually retire :)

2.  Who is your childhood superhero?

I guess it’d be some Carebear

3.  What is your all-time favorite movie?

“Shag” with Phoebe Cates.

4.  Name 5 things that you can't live without.

Faith, My Cowboys, Cereal, Music and Money!

5.  Do you believe in ghost? 

Not in scary ghosts, but I do believe in spirits

6.  What is your most embarrassing moment?

Wearing a shirt inside out to dinner on a date in high school.  It was then pointed out in the  bathroom by female classmates of my boyfriend. 

7.  What is on your purse at this moment? Name 5 things.

Debit card, lip gloss, check book, flash drive, library card (I carry a little bitty clutch that holds very little and throw it in the diaper bag)

8.  What is your dream car?

I always wanted a Toyota 4-Runner & now I have one!!  Luxury wise – a Lexus

9.  When was the last time you cried?

I almost teared up Friday at nephew’s pep rally---just thinking about how quickly our babies are growing up.

10.  Who is the most important person in your life?

God

11.  Describe yourself in one word.
