Happy 100th post to me!

This was originally posted November 2008 at my previous blog, Mom in Transition. However, it took me so long to come up with 100 things that I insisted on posting it here as well. Enjoy!

1. I love Jesus and I whole-heartedly believe the Bible.
2. I am madly in love with my high school sweetheart. Even after 16 years.
3. I have three awesome children- a girl and two boys. They are smart and beautiful and have radically changed my life for the better.
4. I have a son with Autism. He is amazing, and I cannot imagine my life without him.
5. I am home schooling my boys while my daughter remains in public school.
6. I have never been nor ever will be “cool”. I don’t care.
7. I watch Reba every day while I’m cooking dinner.
8. I love to cook for my family.
9. I thoroughly enjoy variety puzzle books and sudoku and any kind of word game. I’m nerdy that way.
10. I love blogging on my pink laptop.
11. I would rather sit with a friend and talk than go shopping. Seriously.
12. I love to write letters. Real ones. With stamps and everything.
13. When I exercise, I do so for 30 minutes on my rebounder. I like it because the weather is always nice in my living room, and recorded episodes of Designing Women keep me distracted from the clock.
14. Don’t ask me to choose the restaurant or we’ll both go hungry.
15. I am honored to be a homemaker, but when my kids were little I didn't enjoy it like I wish I would have.
16. I LOVE to read. Lately I have been reading two to three books a month.
17. I try to be a good friend. My love language is acts of service, and I truly find joy in doing things for others.
18. Sometimes I have a glass of wine. For me, one glass is plenty. (Two glasses make me talk a little more than I should, apparently.)
19. Every day I send my husband a romantic text.
20. I know what it's like to deal with anxiety and mild depression, and I know it's a miserable place to be. I'm so thankful the Lord brought me out of that!
21. My family is the most important thing to me besides my relationship with God. Nothing comes before them.
22. Buttered-flavored popcorn is my favorite Jelly Belly.
23. My only splurge for myself is purses with matching wallets.
24. I drink decaf.
25. My favorite Starbucks drink is an extra-extra hot (decaf) mocha, no matter the weather outside.
26. My favorite bible is the one I received when I was 11. It's a NKJV.
27. I could lie out by the pool all day long, never say a word, and be totally content.
28. I wouldn't trade my time at home with my kids for all the money in the world.
29. I had very supportive families when I was a teenage mother, but it was still very hard.
30. Without the support of those family members, I know I wouldn't be here today.
31. I love being an aunt.
32. I didn't finish college because I kept having babies and I wanted to be with them instead of at school.
33. I have absolutely no desire to go back.
34. One day my husband and I are going to have our own business.
35. My dad and I are also going to own and operate a coffee shop together.
36. I love my ipod shuffle.
37. It's lavender.
38. I have all kinds of music on it. Josh Groban, Paul Simon, The Newsboys, Sarah McLachlan, Casting Crowns, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, James Taylor, Vanilla Ice. (Just one of his songs. Did he even have more than one?)
39. Obviously I grew up in the '80s.
40. I had really big hair then. A friend once asked me if that thing in the picture was a shadow or really my hair.
41. It was really my hair.
42. I am very proud of my brothers.
43. I cheer them on in life the way Michael Phelps' sisters cheered him on in Beijing.
44. They may not be Olympics athletes, but they are still gold medal winners as far as I'm concerned.
45. I have the best parents on the planet.
46. My mom is beautiful and smart and generous and kind and creative and my biggest prayer warrior.
47. My dad is a hard worker and a lover of God and has the sweetest heart out of any man I know. (Besides my husband.)

49. I have some really awesome friends.
50. I like moving to different areas because it means I'll have friends in lots of places.
51. I am addicted to blogging.

53. I love talking to my friends. Even if it's been many years since I last talked to them.

55. I love Dove dark chocolate. There are few things more wonderful than that.
56. I love the beach. I love digging my toes in the sand and pulling up hermit crabs.
57. I enjoy getting a tan because it's very easy for me.
58. My sweet daughter did not get my skin tone.
59. Neither did my middle child. But my youngest son did.
60. I love quiet mornings when everyone else in the house is asleep.
61. I turn the television off during the day because most of the time it's just noise.
62. I love the book club at my church and the women that are dedicated to coming to it. It's always so much fun to share a good book with someone who loved it as much as you did.
63. I love to crochet, but the only thing I have ever actually finished and given away is a potholder I made for my mom several years ago.

71. Many of them have written me back.
72. I would love to write a novel.
73. I love working in the nursery at church so I can get my baby fix.
74. I would rather change a stinky diaper than deal with a kid who won't behave.

76. I got really upset when I saw that Van (Steve Howey) and Cheyenne (Joanna Garcia) were in the video for Every Other Weekend.
77. Did I mention I'm not cool?
76. In six years, all of my kids will be finished with high school.
77. I still have a hard time deciding if I'm done having kids or not.
78. The very first blog I ever read was my friend Leslie's. She is just as genuine and funny in real life as she is on her blog.
79. I still read her blog daily.
80. I use hyper links and parentheses in my blogs probably more than I should.
81. Sometimes I forget to spell check because Microsoft Word has me spoiled in checking things automatically.
82. I like to watch Phil Mickelson play golf.
83. My husband and I went to a tournament he was in this year and saw him up close.

85. We are big Texas Longhorn fans in our family.
86. What does "Gig 'em" mean, anyway?

97. One of my favorie things she did for me when I was little was walk by the dinner table and scoop up my veggies and eat them when my mom wasn't looking.
98. I believe she would do absolutely anything in the world for me. (I do eat my own veggies now, though.)
99. I would do anything for her.
100. I want an Iphone. (Thanks a lot, Jane.)
