Ok here goes...
1. I can't stand unused space in my house! I think I am kind of quirky about it. I want every nook and cranny to be used and functional. We use our dining area as the kids TV area cause we wouldn't use it as a dining room. We are converting our garage into a play area becuase we don't really park in there. We are making the laundry room and mud room into a super cool office for Russ.
2. This is only the 2nd time I have lived in the same place for more than three years! I was an army brat and we moved a lot. Then Russ and I moved a LOT too. It's been weird to think we might be here awhile. We may move away with Russ job for a few years but we should be back since his job is based here.
3. One year ago I COMPLETELY changed the way I eat. I used to eat processed food every day and loved junk food. I felt BLAH and a little older every day. I worked out every day but could not lose weight. I was very concerned about my health. After years of feeling tired and BLAH I now have a rule... I ONLY EAT FOOD... Sounds easy but it can be tricky. If it is overly processed I try not to eat much of it. I eat natural carbs like rice and potatoes and beans instead of breads. If it has chemicals, dyes, antiobiotics or hormones in it I try not to eat much of it. I try not to eat foods that the Old Testament laws say are not healthy for us. I figure God knows best what is good to put into my body. I feel a million times better and dropped over 30 inches in several months. I am so grateful that I discovered what I was doing. I felt like things were going a way I didn't want them to but I didn't know how to change direction.
4. I have visited about 20 countries! I have lived in Germany, Tennessee, Washington, Mexico, Maine and Texas.
5. I decided to adopt when I was 14 because I was inspired by my youth leaders who adopted from Romania. I would not seriously date a guy who was not enthusiastic about adoption.
6. I have a little crease in my nose cause I rub the top of it. I twirl my hair a LOT. I nod too much when people talk. My pinky toe is so little that Russ says he doesn't know how it holds a nail. If I drink caffeine I can NOT shut up!
7. I was in commercials when I was little. I was in a couple of Joskee's Christmas commercials. Remember that store? It might be a southern thing...
Anyway that is stuff about me... I don't know who to tag... If you read this and haven't been tagged yet YOU ARE TAGGED! I am not sure who has and hasn't been tagged so far.
Hugs to you, Angel
