100 Things About Me
1. The most important things to me in life are God, my family, and other people.
2. Notice my most important things aren't really things.
3. I am not very materialistic. If you spill kool-aid on my bed or in my car, I will not be mad at you.
4. As a little girl, I was outgoing, imaginative, optimistic, and always ready to see the best in other people.
5. I was homeschooled through 8th grade and then went to a private college-prep high school.

7. I wasn't necessarily in the popular crowd, but I got along with everybody.
8. I met my husband in high school algebra class.
9. He swept me off my feet with his glistening green eyes, his boyish grin, his intelligence, his compassion.
10. He was the first person I ever dated.
11. He was also the last.

48. After my kids are older and in school.
