Five things...

Linking up today with Nicole from The Style Hatch to share five things about me.

I'm sure you will find yourself wildly excited about what you will learn...or perhaps not. I'm not terribly exciting, but I'll do my best to keep you entertained.

1. I lived in a funeral home all four years of high school. And truthfully, I was probably one of the most awful teenagers during that time. Angry, bitter and ungrateful...living in a funeral home doesn't make you the coolest person in the world. It makes you odd...or so I believed when I was trying to survive high school. To my parents: I am so very sorry. I've told you before, I am so grateful for all you did for me, and I am so sorry for the way I acted. (Side note: My parents owned and ran the funeral home and felt the need to be in the building 24/7. I admire their commitment and dedication.)

2. I love coffee in the morning. It's a process I enjoy. The smell. The hot beverage in my cup. And I love my flavored creamer. I just discovered So Delicious coconut milk creamer. Love, love, love. And no high-fructose corn syrup.

3. I love chocolate and peanut butter. Together or separate. I love them both.

4. I love shoes. My 7 year-old left the house last night to spend the night with my parents. She had on silver cowboy booties, and she carried a pair of silver, sparkly Ugg-style boots and a pair of Converse in her hands. Her need for three pair of shoes is a direct reflection of my influence on her. I love shoes.

5. I love my husband and our three kids. They bless me in every way possible. They are the light in my day. They are the joy in my life. I have the privilege of homeschooling our kids - thank you God for providing, and thank you husband for working so hard - and there is no place I'd rather be than with our kids. I love being with them and teaching them. And I love my awesome husband.
