Five Random Things About Me
I didn't like or drink coffee until just about 5 years ago
Most of my college friends are shocked to learn that I have 4 children and love it. Apparently I didn't seem like the type when I was in school.
I don't like to shop. (But my husband does.)
I don't have it all figured out or all together. Not even close. I have tons of questions, very few satisfactory answers, and most of the time feel like I'm hanging on by a thread. Seems that's right where God wants me.
Now that I've almost finished this, I think doing a meme is a pretty self-absorbed activity. *sigh* Why do I tend to only see these things after I finish?
