ok, ok... i know... it's a very larrrrrrgggge picture of me... but for some reason, it just worked that way with where my mind is. sort of up close and personal type thinking. i would love to think that my kids, by the time they are old enough to appreciate any of this to be able to look at these pages and really know me... really see who i was and how i've progressed. anyway... the journaling is a book... just some random stuff about me. now i need to get a good picture of will and do a similar page... and of course update them through the years.

JOURNALING: This is me. I am your mom. I am 32. I love to scrapbook. I hate rainy days. I love music while Im driving or cleaning. I hate doing dishes. I love coffee with half & half and lots of sugar. I hate the taste, but love the smell of beer. I dont wear perfume. Almost all of my shoes have at least a 2-inch heel on them. I love blue jeans. I love when the sunshine completely lights up the living room. Diamonds do nothing for me. I have no sense of direction and get lost or at least make a wrong turn several times a week. I get spooked very easily. I am niave. I love puppy dogs, but I totally misunderstand cats, therefore Im a bit scared of them. I fell in love with your dad on the way to the restaraunt on our first date, not kidding. And, I loved his Jeep. I dont really stress out about how much TV you watch. I live for mexican food. I love to shoot pool and Im in fact pretty good at it. I cant play a single musical instrument or any kind of sport. Im very girly when it comes to hair, make-up and fasion. I hate all bugs, especially ones that fly. I love windy days... they are my favorite... wind relaxes me. I hate clutter and therefore do not collect anything. I like very modern and clean lines when it comes to decor. I love organization, but Im not always that great at it. I love checklists. I love filling out forms and it really stresses me out if a blank is left blank. I love romantic comedies with happy endings. I cant listen to classical music... Ive tried. I love God. I love chocolate milk and usually drink at least 2 or 3 glasses a day... sometimes 4. I dont know much about politics and sadly prefer it that way. Up until the past few years, my absolute favorite singer in the world was Tori Amos... I even had her sheet music played at our wedding... but Ive since outgrown her. Now my favorites include Derek Webb, Jars of Clay, Norah Jones... oh, and I secretly love todays top 40 music. Im not a pack rat at all... if it hasnt been used or worn in a couple of months, it gets given away... or thrown out. I dont eat breakfast... but I almost always eat a huge lunch, but then Im still full at dinner time, so thats a pretty light meal for me. I miss smoking. I love Chuck-E-Cheese pizza. I dont want a big house... mainly because I would get too spooked. I love BMWs, but I wouldnt buy one... I dont understand that type of purchase. I love, love, love to shop for clothes. I dont own a set of China or fancy silverware, and probably never will. I love our house. I love being your mom. I love being 32. I love being Wills wife. I love who God has made me.

(my gosh i hope there aren't any typos but i'm sure there are!!!)
