11 Facts about me:

1. I've played a variety of musical instruments. Basically, I can learn fairly quickly anything you throw at me, although reed instruments always gave me a harder time. God gave me an ear and mind for music and I am so glad.

2. I always wanted my life to turn out like the show Friends.

3. I am a very passionate person. I love color, life, sound, intensity, laughter. I have a lot of feelings, so sometimes I get hurt easily.

4. I'm not easily satisfied with doing things the "safe" way. You know, the smart, planning, logical way. I am spontaneous. I am impatient. Sometimes this gets me in trouble.

5. I prefer salty snacks to sweet. Unless you combine the two...then it's just fantastic.

6. I once cut my right index finger while washing dishes. It cut through the nerve so now it's numb and goes to sleep from time to time. Just a really weird feeling. As a matter of fact, it's numb right now!

7. I am a summer girl. I love to garden. There's nothing like growing your own food, just being outside in the garden, cool breeze in the evening, sipping a beer with some friends in the yard. Perfection.

8. I am not a classy broad. I am too down to earth and love to laugh at myself. I will never be refined, although I do hope to come across as kind and polite.

9. I have been told I am a great cook, and "someday some man will appreciate it." Maybe my son? Haha. I do love to cook. I love flavor..nothing blah here. But then that goes along with the passionate personality thing.

10. I have been playing the guitar and singing almost every night after the kids go to bed. Maybe someday you'll see me in a coffee shop near you?

11. I believe God has called me to a very different path. I am super excited about the potential of being used to feed his sheep, namely the homeless population in Knoxville. I want nothing more than to see His kingdom on earth right now.

Questions from Jenna:

1. If you could travel anywhere where would it be? Oh man. There's like a gazillion places. But off the top of my head, Brazil or Spain.

2. Favorite nail polish color: Depends on my mood.

3. What would your dream job be? If I could be paid for it, leading praise and worship around the community. Starting a shelter for women with children. Well, I guess that would still be my dream job whether I was paid or not.

4. Fave bible verse: Wow..I guess I would have to say all of Psalm 37. It's just perfect for me.

5. Family memory from childhood: I've blocked them all out. No, seriously, um... we took a vacation to Tennessee when I was about 12, and that's when I knew I loved Tennessee and wanted to live here one day.

6. One thing I can't live without: Well, water. But if you mean something I looooove, then it would be music. Hands down. I'd be nutty if it didn't exist anymore.

7. The most inspiring person in my life?: Can I say Jon Acuff? I mean, he isn't actually IN my life, but I read his blogs every day and they are absolutely amazing. They make me laugh out loud. It's awesome.

8. One thing I wish I had but don't: Sometimes I think a date would be nice. Then I remember that I'm not a classy broad. So I'd probably just embarrass myself ;)

9. What is something I'd do if I wasn't afraid to do it? Oh goodness. Tough question. I do things I'm afraid of a lot. BUT I think I would just completely sell everything I own and follow God to the ends of the earth if I was braver.

10. What is your biggest fear: I'm not telling.

11. A book that describes me and why: Boundaries. It's a self help book on setting them. And I am working on learning how to do that. It's a long road but you gotta start somewhere.
