100

Happy 100th post to Momfessions!

In honor of the blogger tradition, here are 100 things about me… (I’ve tried to simplify this for myself by categorizing—a great idea I saw and borrowed!)

Five things about me and my bloggin’ self:
1. I am 25 years old—a quarter of a century. And so far, I love being 25!
2. I’m a mom and started this blog in January 2008 to be more anonymous in regards to my family and to network with other mommy bloggers. (I kept up a family blog before that.)
3. I taught second grade for two years in my pre-mommy life.
4. I enjoy writing, reading, and photography—all of which incorporate into blogging!
5. My Hubby thinks I spend too much time blogging!

Five things about my relationship with Jesus:
6. I became a Christian when I was a child and have been walking with the Lord since. I consider myself a great testimony to God’s saving grace…
7. I love Jesus and I am learning how to treasure Him above all else.
8. I have been on short mission trips to Ecuador, Mexico, Haiti, East Asia, Seattle, New York, and Montana.

10. Philippians is probably my favorite book of the New Testament.

12. I am Bug’s mama.

Debbie said...

You don't know me, but I saw your name on Becca Hatfield's blog. Just had to take a look see.

Congratulations on your 100th post! I'm not there yet. A few thoughts:

You should definately see Wicked on broadway. I saw it in Chicago a few years ago. It is great.

Also, congratulations on planning a VBAC!!! I understand feeling scared. Read anything you can about natural childbirth, especially anything by Ina Mae Gaskin. Your body was made to do this, mama! I had both of my babies at home. It's an amazing thing!

Unknown said...

So fun! Thanks for sharing! I love knowing you more!

BTW, I just borrowed the Mark of the Lion series from a girl in my community group. I'm on the third book, and I'm really enjoying it!

Kim said...

Great list! And what a great way to do it. I never did one when I reached 100 because of having to come up with so many things. Maybe I'll do one when I hit my 300th post. Maybe I could borrow this idea from you. :)
