Did you see that I slipped in two things in this post the other day? Thing #1 is that my favorite color is red. Did you catch my favorite quote (Thing #2)? “Try not! Do or do not; there is no try.” ~Yoda. Then I didn’t come back to share any more. So here I am trying to catch up with two more of my favorite things or obscure things about me you may not know. Just a little insight into me. *smile*
Thing #3 I think of my family of 8 as small. I have always known I wanted to have children. The older I got, the more children I wanted. When we married (nearly 13 years ago) I thought 8 children would be nice. I would really have loved more, but I was 27 then so was trying to be realistic. Not to mention that people think you are weird when you want more than the “typical two”. I am no stranger to being thought weird, I just get tired of explaining.
Since our youngest is now 3, we might be finished with growing our family. Our trust is in the Lord and He knows how many and when they will come. My heart’s desire is for more though. I am finally to a place of feeling content in how big (or small!) our family is. We’ll just see what the future holds.
Thing #4 I love tea. Summer time means iced tea (only slightly sweetened, please). Winter time means hot tea. Oh, who are we kidding? I drink either one any day of the year. My favorite, everyday cup of tea is PG Tips. Since we are focused on preparing and being frugal, it only makes sense to purchase this in large boxes — which is also the cheapest per cup – right?
I hope you are enjoying learning about what makes me, me. Come back and see what else I share throughout the month. “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” ~ C.S. Lewis
