TAGGED
My friend Ashley tagged me with the bold words. The idea is to finish each sentence. I finished them and added a few. :)

I am: a Christian, patient, honest, intuitive, a woman, a mother, the wife of a soldier, a sister, a daughter, a granddaughter, an aunt, a friend, and an American.

I want: to watch my sons grow into strong men of faith, to celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary with Zach, and to make a difference in this world just by being me.

I have: too many blessings to count including my sons, my husband, my Molly Dog, my family, my friends, and just a really great life

I wish:.I had more money and time so that I could visit more often with friends and family as well as travel to far off places.

I hate: I don’t hate. I may not like everything or everyone, but I don’t hate.

I miss: seeing family and friends on a regular basis and Zach when he’s deployed.

I hear: Charlie speaking in his own language, the movie "Cars", the See and Say, & one of my all time favorites the pouring down rain.

I wonder: what God’s plans are for our future & if and when I will go into some form of ministry.

I regret: I don’t regret. The choices that I’ve made in life - even those not so wise - made me who I am and I am loved by so many to include myself. A regret is something you wish you could do over again (or not do) and who knows where I’d be if I’d just made one different decision. So, no regrets. I’m glad that I took “The Road Less Traveled.” It brought me here.

I am not: super mom. I just love my boys and do my best for them because they deserve nothing less.

I dance: even when there is no music. I encourage the boys to dance with me... even Zach.

I sing: all the time in the car and to the boys, but rarely when others can hear me. I love to sing. Always have. I sing even when I don’t know the right words and it drives Zach crazy.

I cry: rarely, but sometimes when I’m mad which I hate because I feel like I appear sad when really I’m just ticked off. Otherwise I’m just not a cryer.

I am not always: a good listener, on time, organized, neat, thrilled with my waistline, or good with money.

I make with my hands: lots of photographs, loveys for the boys, and the majority of our families meals.

I think I can: survive Zach’s upcoming 6 month deployment to Afghanistan.

I write: because it’s therapy; because I have no long term memory; and because if I were to go to heaven early I'd want the boys to know how much I love just being their mom.

I get confused: about the specifics of Zach’s job in the Army.

I need: hugs and kisses from my boys. (Especially the butterfly, Eskimo, and Fish kisses)

I should: pray more, go to bed earlier, exercise, watch my sugar intake, & make more time for me without feeling guilty.

I start: reading magazines from the back.

I finish: each day by tucking in the boys and telling them & Zach that I love them.

Now I tag Elizabeth and Jennifer.
