A MeMe about Me.....

So, yesterday I was tagged by Lisa to do this MeMe.
And while I LOVE to read about other people , I have a hard time coming up with anything interesting about myself to share. I mean what would a mom who stays at home and spends all of her time with 4 children have to say? My life is full of kid stuff -- I'm not complaining -- I love it-- I just don't think anyone else cares to hear much about my very ordinary life.....
So, I'm warning you -- what follows isn't very extraordinary. Matter of fact, it might even be boring, but I promised to do the MeMe.....
SO, I will follow through with the promise......

ONE
I love polka dots.... I am drawn to them. Especially for my girls. That is why I'd really like to have this outfit or this one (among others). And yes, I fully enjoy dressing them alike with big bows and even coordinating all 4 of them so that the colors are complimentary. Don't judge. It's who I am.

TWO
I am having beautiful bedding made for my girls and can't wait to get it. But, because of my aforementioned love of all things with polka dots -- I am longing for these duvet covers.... or maybe even these.

THREE
One thing I really enjoy doing at church is leading women's bible studies. It really provides learning opportunities for me as well as helping me get to know people deeper than just as the preacher's wife. HOWEVER, I feel completely inadequate to lead. This is a place I feel that God is growing me. It makes me very uncomfortable......

FOUR
I always said I wanted to have 4 children. And while I didn't push it with hubs, who didn't share my desire for a large family, we have these beautiful blessings -- and I feel completely blessed and my quiver is definitely full.

FIVE
One thing that makes me crazy is for people to say "Oh, you must have kept trying til you got your boy." We didn't. We were happy with our three girls and if #4 had been a girl -- we'd still be done. I didn't feel the NEED to have a boy.

SIX
On the other hand, I am happy to have a boy. Actually, when I was pregnant with A (my oldest) I dreamed that I had a baby boy. NOT that she was a boy, but that I had a boy. Because in the dream, I also had a dark haired older girl who was about three.....Which is EXACTLY what I have now. A brand new little boy, and a big 3 year old sister + 2 more big sisters. I believe that dream was God speaking to me.

SEVEN
I am a people person. I crave deep, meaningful relationships. Having to move has made this difficult for me in some ways. I have made life long friendships with people at each church we've served and I've enjoyed all (3) places I've lived. BUT, I want to tell you that I am LOVING living in the North Carolina Mountains. Fall is here and the leaves -- they are exquisite!!! And the weather -- perfectly fallish! Cool days and even cooler evenings. I'm loving it!

There you go. 7 Things about me.....
Anyone else want to play along? Please do -- I love reading about you all. Leave me a comment that you are playing and I will add a link to you.
Have a great Thursday everyone.

  1. Loved finding out more about you!

    It drives me nuts about people thinking we should try again JUST to get a girl! I so know what you mean :)

  2. A beautiful quiver! I get the same thing about my 4. 3 boys and then a girl. I'd have been thrilled with another boy, but I am oh so glad for a little pink, even if she prefers her brother's trucks.
