Lists of four

I was sitting & thinking about what in the world I was going to blog about when I was reading the blogs I follow this morning. Then I got to danielle's wonderful blog and read through it, at the end she tagged me, so here is my list of fours. You can find some random things about me here (she also tagged me to make a list of 7 random things).

4 shows I watch:

• House 

He is witty, smart, and totally rude...what's not to like?! 

• Top Chef

                                  

Good food & competition

Paula Deen 

Butter, mayonaise, & cream cheese...enough said! 

Project Runway

fun clothes, crazy personalities, Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn. Yes please 

4 things I am passionate about:

• Being a good mom. There is nothing more that I want than my kids to look back on their life and say "I had a great mom". That is something I am extremely grateful for in my life, I have an amazing mom! 

• Making people feel welcome! I HATE feeling out of the loop, so I make it my goal to include people and I go out of my way to make them feel comfortable. (I hope I am doing good at this!)

• Christ. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for is in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

• My marriage. I want to have a happy, healthy, God centered marriage. I believe that a healthy happy family starts with a happy & healthy marriage! 

4 phrases I say alot:

• For serious? (this one drives my hubby crazy)
• Are you kidding me!?
• I love this song!! (this happens EVERY time I hear a song I like. My sister in law & hubby make fun of me all the time for being SO enthusiastic when I hear a good song! LOL)
• goodbye! (said when I want the kids to go away, usually when they are annoying me, or whining)

4 things I have learned from the past:

• It doesn't pay to be a "mean girl" ( I used to be AWFUL in high school, why!? I don't know... but I am a changed lady... proud to say I am VERY nice now! Here is an apology to anyone from high school that I was awful to! For real.... SORRY!!)
• Let go and let God. He is always in control, and always knows way better what is good for me. Why worry about it when ultimately God has it handled!?
• Say no. If you don't want to do something just don't. It is that simple! 
• Spend time with & make time for the people who matter to you. If you aren't intentional this probably won't happen and it is very IMPORTANT! 

4 things I did yesterday:

• made ANOTHER wreath

• took family Christmas card pictures (with a tripod, that is talent my friends!)

• burned every candle in the house
• made some home made Christmas presents

4 things I am looking forward to:

• both kids being in school (did I really just write that?! LOL just keeping it honest!)
• dinnertime! I am making this soup
• Christmas it is my all time favorite holiday!
• a long vacation with my husband ONLY (this will happen someday! right!?)

4 things I love about winter:

• wearing cute sweaters
• boots, all kind of boots
• soup & hot cider
• turning the heater on in the car! 

4 things on my wishlist:

• this at home espresso machine 

• a fairy housecleaner, who likes to clean blinds, baseboards, tile floors, and toilets... oh and does laundry and.... oh wait just one who likes to do everything that I don't! LOL
• some boots like these 

• lots of paint to paint all the walls in my house!
