25 Random things...

I have read lots of other people's blogs lately where they have listed 25 random things about themselves and so I decided to try to think of 25 random things about myself that most people wouldn't know...

1.  Daisies are my favorite flower.
2.  I plan to start a garden this spring.
3.  My dad's middle name is Earl and my mom's middle name is Lula (boy did I luck out not to get a family name).
4.  Jason and I were pronounced husband and wife at exactly 2:41 pm.
5.  My daughter was born at exactly 2:41 pm (not on the same day!).
6.  When I find a movie I really like I will watch it over and over and over and over and... well you get the picture.
7.  I love photography and some day I hope to take a class on how to actually do it the right way!
8.  My parents have been divorced since I was 3 years old.
9.  Jason and I were high school sweethearts.
10. I worry a lot.  Don't worry (haha) my husband has informed me that this is a form of sin in my life (not totally trusting God's sovereignty) and I am praying about that.
11.  I have a step sister that is 4 months older than me and a half brother that is 10 years older than me.
12.  I love to play board games!
13.  At one of my birthday sleepovers my granddad made all my friends smell his pot of chitlins cooking on the stove.  Yeah... they still came back next year.
14.  Jason wrote a song for me and sang it at our wedding... mushy, I know.
15.  My favorite book of the Bible is James.
16.  I am scared of the dark... really.
17.  I LOVE to read the Farmer's Almanac... it has a lot of great information in there... really!
18.  In college I took a class on Evolution and even though I didn't believe a word the teacher said it was one of my favorite classes.  
19.  I really like to watch reality shows and my favorite right now is the "Biggest Loser".  
20.  I am totally scared of sharks but very much fascinated by them at the same time.  
21.  It makes me very nervous to be on a boat of any size... probably related to the shark fear.
22.  My granddad taught me how to swim at our hotel while we were on vacation in the Smokey Mountains.
23.  I drink a diet mountain dew every morning to start my day.
24.  I can't stand the way a newspaper feels in my hands... it makes me cringe.
25.  One of my favorite snacks to eat while watching TV is potato chips dipped in ketchup.

So, many of these things aren't very fascinating but I hadn't posted in a while and nothing super interesting has happened at my house lately... so there you go.
