15 Random Things

I was reading a friend from high school's blog and thought this would be fun. Let's see if I can think of 15 random things about myself, it's easier said than done.

1. I don't like mushy foods like peas, and lima beans.

2.I don't really like cooking all the time I'd rather let Nick do it.

3. My house isn't the cleanest on the block, I prefer the lived in look.

4. I am the worst when it comes to putting away laundry. I'll wash, dry and fold it and instead of putting it away right away I'll stick it on my bed or on the back of the couch for a couple of days.

5. I hate doing dishes by hand, I really want a dishwasher and the kids are too young to really help out a lot with that chore.

6.I don't wear high heel shoes because I'm already taller than my husband and don't want to be any taller than my 7 inches.

7. I am not a very creative person. I have great respect for all those out there that make scrapbooking look so easy. Most of my pictures are in a drawer waiting to be put in albums and on the computer. It's so much easier to put them on the computer than to go to Wal-Mart and develop them.

8. We just bought our first home in Sept. 07 and are finding a lot of things that need to be redone that we didn't know when we bought the house. The floors need to be redone, it's not very well insulated and the hot water heater is rigged with some sort of switch underneath the house. We have one of those short ones. So if you do laundry better do it when you don't have to use the hot water or cold, because it's going to take it all.

9.My favorite color is purple and dark blue. I've always loved purple ever since I learned that it is the color of royalty. After all I am a princess, my Father is the King!!

10. I love cats. I think they are much more entertaining than dogs.

11. I wish I could have gone to my 10 year high school reunion in 2007, but was unable to make it because I live in Arkansas and didn't hear of it in time. Are we planning a 15, Chelsea? I'll start making plans now to come.

12. I may be related to Laura Ingalls Wilder. My niece went to her home in Missouri and found the name Brentlinger in the family graveyard.

13. I love to read but don't get too very often anymore being a wife and mom. I have to remind myself that I need time for me, too.

14. I am assistant director to Angel Food at our church, youth leader, nursery worker. Angel Food has allowed me to meet people in our community and reach out them. You buy a whole bunch of food for $30 which would cost close to $60+ at the grocery store.

15. Last but not least, I am happy with my life. I made some bad decsions as a young woman but I got 2 beautiful kids out of those and looking back I can see how God worked to bring me to where I am today.
