All About Me

Day 3, WHOOPIE! Of the Wives of Faith Blog Carnival. The third, and final, but I am looking foreward to doing this again next year! Today they asked us to write, "11 amazing facts about yourself", so here I go....

....I am an Identical twin, I guess this classifies as amazing since my mom didn't find out that she had 2 coming and not just 1 until she was 7 months pregnant with us.

....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cloth diapers! I'm no "hippie" by any means, and no I didn't do it to go green. I did it because I want to do things the old-fashioned way. It wasn't broken in my mom's time....and I didn't want to "fix" it. Bonus: we found out our oldest has reactions to the fragrance in disposbales anyway!

....I am a blonde with hazel eyes, and black eyebrows and lashes! Most people have the "blonde hair and blues eyes" stuck in their brains, and never stop to actually look and see if that's what I have. It makes me laugh.

....I have a thing for making yeast breads. I make our bread at home, and my husband LOVES it!

....I make our laundry detergent, again this is because our oldest is allergic to detergent. He even reacts to free and clear kinds! We have kept him diaper rash free since we figured this out, YEAH!

....My husband is the best support I have! When I tell him my kooky ideas, like cloth diapers or making detergent, he smiles and says, "go for it luv"...ya, I know he's kinda awesome!

....My husband got to deliver both of our boys. In the hospital...don't worry :-). And I know this has a lot to do with him, but I think it counts because I was pushing, while he was waiting to catch them, right? How many men can say they got this opportunity twice, or that they even want to do that? We tend to see men go a little "green" when he tells them.

....I am passionate about my marriage! If you read my blog, you will see that I talk about it a lot. It's not perfect, but its OURS! In the short time that I have been a wife, I have seen a lot of marriages start and stop. It breaks my heart that 50 years of marriage is such a rarity, my prayer is that this will become the "norm" in my lifetime.

....I love kids! Yes, I have two of my own...but I have many more that I consider mine in some way.

....I love to cook, but I REALLY don't like to do dishes! Strange, huh? My husband and I double team this because he knows how much I dislike it. He washes, or loads the dishwasher, and I put away. See, why I love this man?

....I am proud to be a military wife! I know this may seem rather ordinary, but I have met military wives who are not, so I feel that it's important to include it in my list.

I know you wanted amazing facts, and I guess I gave you what I believe makes me "special" because I don't really consider myself amazing....I'm just me! Someone who speaks her mind, sometimes too often...who loves her 3 handsome men, and wants to be the wife God intended her to be!
