My 100

So many of you have been posting a list of 100 things about you, so I decided to give it a try myself.

MY 100:
1. This is the longest I’ve lived in one city and one house (8 years in Austin and 5 years in our house)
2. All together I’ve lived in 10 different towns
3. and 18 different houses (we only owned 7)
4. I’ve never lived outside of Texas
5. I’m the middle child
6. Aaron and I talked about what it would be like to be married on our first date
7. The first time Aaron kissed me he made me tremble
8. He wrote a song for me and played his guitar and sang it when he proposed
9. He has always sung and played it every year on the anniversary of our proposal
10. I have over active sweat glands
11. but, I’ll just have to be thankful that God will fix that problem when I get to heaven :)
12. When I was a young girl my mom sometimes had to make two back-to-back hair appointments for me to get my hair cut because my hair was so thick
13. good thing because more than half of it is gone now
14. Now you know my two most self-conscience body image problems
15. Okay, so you all say that you love cookies, cakes, candy, chocolate, and ice-cream, but you’ve met your match
16. I don’t just love them, I eat almost all of them every single day
17. I know why I will always be at least 10-15 lbs heavier than my ideal weight
18. I am aware of many of my faults:
19. talking too much
20. talking about too honest or intimate of things
21.…or maybe I just don’t have discretion on when is the appropriate time as far as others are concerned
22. I’ve been a control freak and let fear take over when I didn’t have it
23. and well, let’s just face the facts – no trendy or mainstream fashion or decorating style
24. I’m aware of the problems, but it really takes time to fix habits I’ve had for 31 years :)
25. I’d say my greatest weakness would be that I’m very emotional
26. The bad thing about that is that it tends to scare people off
27. The great thing is that I believe I ‘feel’ life richly
28. Aaron and I are opposites on a LOT of things
29. He is an introvert and I’m an extrovert
30. He loves to re-watch movies or shows over and over, but I like to just watch them one time
31. He loves coke, and I really just enjoy water
32. He also loves milk and I’m lactose intolerant
33. He doesn’t eat breakfast and I crave my big bowl of cereal every morning
34. He is loves to read and I don’t like reading very much because I’m partially dyslexic
35. I really like reality t.v. and drama’s but Aaron likes movies and really only comedy t.v. shows
36. Aaron’s has three main jobs: bringing home ‘the bacon’, yard work, taxes
37. I’m in-charge of everything else
38. not by choice
39. I cut Aaron’s hair to save money

49. I’m not going to do the same for our 10th anniversary next year (…are you reading this Aaron)
50. My sister is 2 inches shorter than me, but my legs are shorter
51. I have a very long torso
52. This makes shirts, and sometimes dress lengths too short on me, and pants too long

76. I hadn’t discussed it with them and I was sitting with the youth at the front when I went forward
77. I thought my mom had come to sit with me during the invitation song, but it turned out to be my aunt that saw me first
78. she looked very much like my mom…especially when I was nervous and trying fill out an information card
79. My dad was so emotional that he couldn’t finish asking the proclamation questions about Christ being God’s son, so Phil had to finish speaking for him

86. At times when I’ve lost it, or when my health has hindered me, I’ve felt completely lost and invisible
87. Singing is an emotional and spiritual outlet for me
88. but not in front of others

98. I did end up having to meet them behind the school and hit one of them
99. My brother and I ran to our church to hide and called my mom to come and help us
100. I have had 2 black eyes, but they were just sports injuries
