1. I don’t remember anything. Well most things anyway. This works out well for you if you have ever hurt my feelings or said something stupid. It’s not so helpful when I’m trying to remember your name. I’m so sorry if I have asked you it 4 times. I’m really working on that. When you see me staring intently at your face I’m really thinking “Sally-brown hair, big smile, teacher. Sally, brown hair, big smile, teacher”
2. My love language is acts of service and encouraging words. There is nothing sexier (oops, can I say that? 
) than coming home and seeing that my guy cleaned the kitchen.
3. I am terrified of submarines. Or any device that might submerge me in water. Just thinking about it gives me the heebie jeebies. It’s random, because I have never been on one or near one.
4. I’m not a planner. School planner- yes. Life, day to day- not so much. I hate setting up a schedule, filling in a calendar, committing to do something far in the future (see number 10 for an explanation) It’s usually because I am easy going, just tell me when and where and I will work it out. Oh, and remind me, because I probably won’t remember.
5. I’m not the gal I used to be. Or even the one I was yesterday. My past is my past, it’s what made me who I am today. Although I’m not proud of every deed done or word spoken I choose to live in the present, thanking God everyday that I am indeed a new creation and trusting that His grace covers all sins.
6. I used to be in the military. It was another lifetime ago it seems. Even I laugh at the image of me holding a M-16 now. Crazy!
7. I truly believe that I am living my dream, sure there are things that I would like to have or do one day, but if my life never changed from the present I would feel like the luckiest girl ever.
8. I am more sensitive than most people think. My feelings get hurt often, but I have learned to take those feelings to Jesus and move on.
9. I am a get it done kind of gal. A whatever it takes kind of gal. A suck it up and do it kind of gal. I will admit, that those who are not… kind of annoy me. {sorry}
10. I am loyal and dependable. I would rather jump off a cliff than say I’m going to do something and then back out. –If I have ever backed out on you, you can take comfort in that I am probably still drowning in guilt. And I hate to be late. Oh, how I hate to be late. My husband often reminds me that it’s not the end of the world to be late to a social gathering. Oh, but it is. It really is.

Mothering With Grace 
Oh my gosh, I had a panic attack as a kid when we went inside a Viking longship replica. I’m kind of breathing funny just thinking about a submarine!
I feel your pain 😉
We seem to have a lot in common. When I read your numbers 1, 4, 7, 9, and 10, I felt like I could have written those same things about myself. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog.
I am a “get it done suck it up and do it” type gal too!! I used to be a planner, now I realize that with some things I never stick with the plan–like school!!
I like this peek into who you are. I need to follow your “my past is my past.” Too often I wish for a “do-over.” Loyal and dependable are great qualities.
I enjoyed getting to know you a bit through this post! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

#10 really struck a chord with me. I have to be careful about what I commit to. I refuse to break my word too.
[…] You see, I’m dependable. I know that once I say yes to something I’m going to die trying to keep that commitment…at all cost. (Remember my top 10?) […]
