Ladies of Pitman,
I am needing some help next Friday Jan. 30. I need to take a few small loads (the things we needed until the last minute) over to our storage unit. Would someone be able to stay with L. while I get this done? I will be having my last check out at about 1 pm and need things cleaned out before then. Thanks! I love you ladies!!! As of today I will have no internet access or computer access so please call me if you can help.

Annie...
Annie...
You are to be celebrated today. You are one of the people who I would trust my soul with. I am so excited that you have found the person you are to be married to. You deserve a person who will honor and protect and adore you. Jared is so blessed to have found you and recognized that you are the blessing God provided for him. Annie, you enjoy these next several months and revel in the fact that you are to be MARRIED!!!! Yeah for you!
I love you Annie!
25 Random Facts
These are 25 random facts about me that you may or may not know. I was tagged by Terri Mello weeks ago, but have been way too busy traveling and packing. So here they are...
1. I want more children, but this last pregnancy was so complicated that I think I never want to be pregnant again.
2. I went to York College. A Christian college in York, NE that changed my life and made me a better Christian and a better person.
3. I swore I would never marry a person from a divorced family, then married a man who had a very complicated divorced family. This was a blessing because I really love my in-laws, they are wonderful people.
4. I knew that we would have a girl and told people so for several years before we got pregnant.
5. I love working with children who have Autism. That is my "thing" and I really miss all of the kids I worked with.
6. Making Matthew a happy and peaceful life is more of a blessing than I could have imagined. I never wanted to be a housewife--but serving him has brought great happiness.
7. I secretly (at least a secret up until now) watch one of the stupid soaps now that I stay-at-home.
8. I am a secret (though this is no longer one either) TV addict.
8. Frequently I wonder why I went to college to be a stay-at-home-mom. Though I do love knowing I will get to work with kids who have disabilities again!
9. I hate technology...using it and relying on it. But now that Matthew has been teaching me more about technology, I appreciate it even though I still hate it.
10. Being a mom is different than I expected. Though I have not yet been able to put into words why it is different than I thought it would be. Maybe this is because I spent so much time working with children who have disabilities, I keep expecting some disability to effect L. So that when the difference shows up I am not shocked.
11. Anxiety is something that has been passed down in m family and I am determined not to pass it onto my daughter.
12. Part of the anxiety I have bleeds into conviction that the worst will always happen.
13. I sometimes convince myself that if I speak aloud the worst case scenario, then the worst case will not happen.
14. I hurt myself a lot. I mean a lot. I am very clumsy and have many scars to prove it.
15. Dunkin Donuts Boston Cream donut is so delicious! I could probably eat 5 per day.
16. Never thought I would be fat (maybe donuts). Now that I am, each day I am shocked when I see myself in the mirror. (Don't tell me I am not fat...10 lbs ago my Dr. told me I was fat so I know I am now). It used to be so easy for me to be skinny. So I am going to be skinny again soon. Now that I have said this out loud, I know I will stick to it.
17. Making fun of my husband and his toys...think Star Wars...is a hobby of mine.
18. Wii is so much fun, and I love my Wii fit. I am so excited to get skinny on it!!!
19. I have 2 brothers...27 and 25....oh and one sister 5.....oh and one brother 2. This is how I respond when people ask if I have brothers or sisters. It is hard to remember to add the little ones after having just 2 brothers for 24 years. The little ones are the most amazing blessings and I would love for you to know them.
20. I have a unique life in that I am not really from anywhere. I have lived in New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, and getting ready to move to South Carolina and Japan.
21. Being married to Matthew makes for a very good life since he is a God-centered husband who leads our family.
22. When Matthew and I get into an argument, he will usually crack a joke and then I bust up. So we have lots of laughs since I can get grippy on a regular basis.
23. I don't like to travel. I like living in different places, but traveling is not fun to me.
24. When I die, I don't want any carnations at my funeral. Carnations are ugh! I want lots of yellow roses and daisies. I want every one wearing white and celebrating the life that I lived. I have loved living and am happy with the way my life has been. So celebrate and know that if you are saved, we will see each other again! At the funeral dinner, I want lots of yellow and light purple...it will be gorgeous.
25. For our 25th wedding anniversary, we are planning a BIG party. With a band, lots of flowers and beautiful dresses. It will be a fantastic time and we are excited to celebrate and wonderful marriage.
