This is to my readers that are not also on Facebook. The big thing on Facebook now is to list 25 random things about you. Many of you might already know most of these, but I thought I would put it on here anywhere.
25 Random Things
1. My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life. It affects everything I do. No, “affects” isn’t a strong enough word. It’s the core of who I am.
2. My husband Jeremy and I met on a missions trip to Mexico our freshman year of college. We dated for 5 years, broke up twice, and have been married almost 9 years. There is never a dull moment with him, he is the funniest person I know.
3. I grew up in the country near Lincoln, Nebraska, and lived in the same house my whole life until I left for college.
4. Ok, now for random. Our cat has a giant lump on her back that has been developing for the past couple months. However, the vet told us yesterday that it would cost between $850-1500 to get it removed, so we’re not!
5. When our first daughter Emily was born, she came out with what looked like tight black curls. The first words out of my mouth were, “What race is it?”
6. My volleyball team made it to the state tournament my senior year. Winning districts was one of the best feelings I’d had (at that point in my life!)
7. Jeremy and I have gone on so many fun vacations together: Maui, camping in Colorado and Idaho, Orlando, Cancun, Las Vegas, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, and so many more. But the best has been Maui.
8. I have a sister who’s a high school senior. We are hoping she comes to college here next year!
9. I started getting into golf last summer and I love it. We went to the US Open last year and had the best time.
10. I am helping out with the MOMS group at our church this year and love it. It had been such a fun and needed group for me, I wanted to help others experience the same.
11. I am married to the “luckiest” man alive – if there is a drawing to win something, rest assured, he will win.
12. I love scrapbooking and just went on my first weekend retreat; I had a blast and can’t wait to do it again.
13. I taught high school math for 8 years. Now I work part-time from home managing the shipping of logs from the midwest to China.
14. I took piano lessons from kindergarten through 2 years of college. I used to play for church and weddings a lot, but don’t play much anymore.
15. I really enjoy reading but don’t take the time to do it much anymore. If I start a Karen Kingsbury book, nothing gets done around the house until it’s finished.
16. A year ago I didn’t even know what a blog was. Now I’m addicted to writing on my own and reading those of friends.
17. I love reading Joel Rosenberg’s blog about the end times.
18. My favorite food is ice cream.
19. I LOVE staying home with my girls. I could stay home my whole life and find plenty of things to occupy myself with!
20. I hate speaking in public but unfortunately had to give a speech at my high school graduation.
21. I do not put milk on my cereal, and I despise “condiments.”
22. I have the best in-laws a person could ask for (two sets, actually) and love them all.
23. I love to cook and have friends over for dinner. Some of our friends’ favorites are homemade pizza, enchiladas, and 7-layer bars.
24. When I was pregnant I craved Long John Silver’s.
25. Without family in the area, I so treasure my friends up here, both college ones and newer ones from church and elsewhere. And it’s been fun catching up with old ones, too, on Facebook!

Sweet! Steph, you're turning into quite the writer. I think there's a book in your future ala Susanne!
So sorry to hear about your cat:( Thanks for the interesting facts, it was fun to read! I have been meaning to do this on FB but just dreading the thought of trying to think of 25 things about me.
