Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
1) I go to bed every night with a glass of water and two dog biscuits. The water is for me and the biscuits are to reward my dachsies for obediently going into their crate/bed for the night. It does look odd as I walk to my bedroom with both in hand though.
2) When I was nine I told my Mother that I needed to go to a Christian college because I was going to marry me a Minister. Later, I found my Minister Hubby at a State University that also had no religious studies at the time. Who knew?
3) The first person ever in my life to allow me to paint a room purple, my favorite color, was my Mother-In-Love. After fourteen years of marriage the room at her house is still purple. I love it!
4) I used to trade with my peers my sugary snacks (brownies, cookies, and the like) for the spinach served at hot lunch in public school. Some things will never change!
5) I hope to always look for opportunities to make a difference in someone’s life no matter how insignificant the action may seem at that time. It was one man, that I highly respected, who handed me an envelope with information inside on a specific adoption agency. Nine months later I traveled to Ukraine to become the Mother of my two handsome boys. Five years later I went back to also become the Mother to two beautiful twin girls. The man who gave me the envelope was never able to see any of my children, as he passed away before they came home. You just never know how far your influence will go even though you may never see the fruit of it.
6) I prefer to drive a standard vehicle to an automatic.
7) In my lifetime I am more likely to see more sunsets than sunrises. Hoot! Hoot!
8) I went to deaf camp when I was twelve to continue learning my ASL skills. While at camp I told my friend from Puerto Rico, who was hard of hearing and only spoke Spanish, that I was going on the cowboy cookout to eat horses. Oops! I meant we would be riding horses out to the cowboy cookout. The look in his face alone made me realize I had a LOT more practicing to do!
9) I have been known to eat an entire jar of hot peppers for a late night snack.
10) My goal someday is to support and see my husband work towards and receive his PH.D
11) I have a fifth, extra wisdom tooth in which I have always been told will make me wiser than others. I’m still waiting for the wiser part to come true. 
12) I dream of turning my journals of infertility and adoption experiences into a book or teaching for womens conferences.
13) While camping I can make a pretty amazing omelet with a plastic baggy and pot of boiling water.
14) I am a Mayflower descendant by three bloodlines – William Brewster, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. These generational lines also means I’m related to former Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
15) My favorite books and movies are always about Missionaries or people who show great character of forgiveness, sacrifice and perseverance such as in The Hiding Place and Chasing the Dragon.
16) I will never give up trying to make a difference in the life of a child who would otherwise never have had a family to call his/her own.
(the pics are awful due to it being at dusk and rainy, but you will get the idea)
At least the porta potty company was kind enough to not charge us this year for the rental of the potty.
