random facts...

because all the cool kids are doing it...

1) i'm 5'2". pretty short.
2) up until about a year ago, i considered myself "dark blond". you guys, my hair is definitely brown. not sure what i was thinking.
3) i have a history degree
4) i taught fifth grade for one year
5) my husband and i are trying (for the tenth time) a cash-only budget. going okay so far.
6) besides the etsy shop, i do have a part-time (from home) "real job", working for my parents' software company. i do tech support and customer service-type stuff.
7) i am so slooooow. when it comes to projects, crafting, cleaning, really anything. i move at a snail's pace. it doesn't help that i'm a perfectionist [at the crafty stuff, not the homemaking, unfortunately]
8) when i was younger, i'm pretty sure i had a mild form of tourette's syndrome, or something similar. it sort of just faded out in my adult-hood.
9) the only surgery or hospital stay i've ever had was my c-section.
10) my husband and i started officially "dating" on october 10th 1999, a few weeks into his freshman year [my sophomore year] of high school. neither of us could drive for another year. we broke up/"went on a break" about 7 or 8 times before finally getting engaged in 2004 [at 19] and married in 2005 [at 20]. Lord help us if our kids try to do the same.

what about you? any random or silly or fun facts you want to divulge in the comments? i'd love to read them!

    Great list! I just found your blog (can't remember how). I'm impressed that you are able to have not one but TWO "work at home" jobs! I work at home for 10 hours a week and have a 4.5 month old and am having a hard time figuring it out. Any words of wisdom? :-)

    P.S. Coming from a "dark blonde", I'd call you brown! But I've always wanted brown hair. :-)

    Josh and I have been doing the cash only budget thing for a couple years. It definitely takes getting used too but now our finances are worlds different. We read the book By Dave Ramsey called Financial Peace University. Have your read it?

instafriday #22

ahhh, it feels good to be back. it's been a long time since i've dumped my insta-photos on you!  so here we go: my mug swap arrived :) it is so cute, and honestly, this is exactly the kind of reminder i need in the morning. the baby has been waking up at 5:30. it's still dark out. and she doesn't go back to sleep after her bottle :( i need to see it as an opportunity to be thankful, spend time with the Lord, and rejoice...  instead of stumble and groan and wish for more sleep. i'm making a bunch of these cute headbands this weekend.  hoping to have them for sale next week.  aren't they cute? and super-fallish.  i've never been one to pay too much attention to the trends,  or the pantone fashion colors [because honestly i don't have the money. or desire.]  but i do see some tangerine tango and bright chartreuse in these ;) for each grandchild, my husband's family has an ice-cream party tradition at their 6-month b...
