I've been tagged. I am posting 7 interesting (or not so interesting) things about myself

1. I am the 15th out of 16 kids in my family. I love having this size of a family! I wish I could give my kids the same huge family that I have. I'm working on about 1/2 the size if I can. I'm glad my parents didn't stop at 6 which was their original plan because I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have had the experiences and life that I've had.

2. I have really BAD eyes! My contact prescription is -9.5. those of you with contacts will know what that means. I would LOVE to get Lasik, but because my eyes are so bad, i'm not a candidate. The eye doc said that I could get a lens replacement which is what cataract patients get. No thanks, I'll wait for a new, better product to come along in the future.

3. I'm not a phone person. I'm an email person, but I don't have much tact when emailing, so if I sound strange or confusing in my emails, sorry.

4. I love to drive! If DJ and I are together, I'm the one that sits in the driver seat because I love it. He's so good to always let me drive. I didn't get my driver's license until I was almost 19 years old (not because I didn't want to drive when I was 16, but because I had to buy my own car and pay for my own insurance if I wanted to drive and couldn't afford it at 16 years of age) so I think that's where my love of driving comes from. I also like to go on long road trips (thanks to my parents who took us on so many trips in the car). If I didn't have a family, I might've been a truck driver.

5. I'm not in love with chocolate like most women. I would choose fruity candy or vanilla over chocolate. I'm not saying I don't like chocolate, i just like other stuff better, but I'll eat anything sweet and yummy.

6. I only dated DJ for a month before we got engaged and then we got married 2 1/2 months later, so we only knew each other for 3 1/2 months before we tied the eternal knot.
That was definitely not my style, ask anyone in my family, but the Lord doesn't always work in my style.

7. In High school I went to bed very early. Anywhere from 8-9:30, but now I can't seem to get in bed before 11pm and I REALLY need my sleep. DJ's favorite quote from my dad is: "sometimes I wake up grouchy, other times I let her sleep."

If you got through my 7 things, then consider yourself tagged.
