Versatile Blogger

A bit ago Meaghan tagged me for a Versatile Blogger award (thanks Meaghan) and unfortunately I haven't had the time to sit down and write, post, and I also am lacking a bit in the inspiration/creative area, so here it goes.....7 things about moi that you may have or may not have known! :o)

1. I love to cook, like really love to cook, but I lack the inspiration lately. It was once a sort of stress relief for me, and I love trying new recipes out, but since having kids it seems more like a chore! I did try a new bison barley stew recipe tonight and everyone but the pickiest eater in our house (the little miss) liked it! I would love to take some cooking classes, oh and have a bigger kitchen!! ;o)

2. I am a total morning person. I can't stay up late. Anything past ten and I am a wreck! I also prefer to run and work out in the mornings, but that is a bit more difficult with kids.

3. Running is my stress relief, my sanity and always has been since junior high. I am slowly getting back into it and it has been AWESOME! My hubby and I have some big plans for next year, which I am super excited about! He has even agreed to run with me (he hates running--it's to hard on his knees) and of course I had to make a compromise and agree to do something that he loves. Let's put it this way, I will be one tough mama, don't mess with me or I'll take you down! hee, hee!! :o)

4. I have never liked gardening--ever (my sister is the green thumb), but lately I have been really praying that we can one day have a large yard with a garden. In fact my little man prays for it every night! (too cute) He wants to grow blueberries, strawberries, peas, beans, gummies and ice-cream in his garden! ;o)

5. My faith is the most important part of my life and it has not always been this way. I am so happy that I have a personal relationship with Jesus. It has also been the hardest, most challenging journey of my life. Sometimes God calls upon you to do things that you really don't want too and that is a real struggle for me. However, it is during these times that I have learned so much and God has truly blessed me for being obedient.

6. I would be happy spending my life traveling the world with my family! While I do want to establish some roots, I don't think I can ever cure my travel bug!

7. There was a time in my life (when I was quite young) that I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. That is the funniest thing ever as I faint anytime I get a needle, I faint due to the 'smell' of a hospital, I even faint when I see people hooked up to IV's, oxygen, whatever. Luckily I have come to recognize this and now know how to most times prevent my fainting (ie--ask to lie down when getting a needle). The worst fainting episode was shortly after we were married, John was hit while on his Motorbike. He was taken to the University hospital to get his back checked out. He was just lying on the table with absolutely nothing hooked up, nothing and all of a sudden I fainted, passed out cold. John thought it was because I was so deeply concerned for him and thus thought I was the sweetest wife ever. I was concerned for him, but it was more my phobia of hospitals! After having two c-sections I think I have improved a little! :o)

I am supposed to now tag 15 people, but I don't know that many bloggers. So if you read this and you blog, feel free to play along! :o)
