Seriously?
It is tropical out there, folks. And I'm just not a tropical person.
It ain't in me.

And...since I was featured on Brenda at Cozy Little House's Welcome Wagon Friday....

15 Things About Me

1. I have always lived in my same little town...2 stop lights. Small town football is everything.
2. I spent every minute I could at my grandma's growing up, who lives right beside my parents on my great-great-great-grandpa's farm that was started in the 1850's and is still standing. My grandma is still living and will be 94 in October. I love her more than words can say and she has had a huge impact on my life and the way I want to live.
3. I love family history. LOVE.
4. I want my own farm. I want an old farmhouse to renovate. (I know...don't we all?)
5. I have slight OCD...meaning that some things just bother me. I have to have a plan and organization. I actually have to lay my towels out the nights before work. Mmmmhmmm.
6. I love animals. The furry kind. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs (they have some hair), goats, donkeys.
7. I have a gun and I know how to use it. I started deer hunting in 4th grade with my dad. I haven't missed a year.
8. I love my parents. I have two of the coolest parents in the world. My mom is my best friend, and my dad, I adore.
9. I love my family. I have a crazy, wonderful family. And although we have our share of up's and down's, you know they're always there for you.
10. I work in a school system. I am a superintendent's secretary. I love my job.
11. I am a strong believer in God. I don't go to church every Sunday, but I believe in the power of prayer and hope and faith. I've said my prayers every night ever since I can remember. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." Followed by my God Bless list and my own personal prayer to God. I also talk routinely to my Grandpa and a few other close friends I have lost. And I know they hear me.
12. I know how to use tools. My dad used to be a contractor. He completely remodeled our house (we always lived in the same one and they still live in it) that we got new throughout my childhood. I learned how to use the tools beside him and if I absolutely had to, I think I could do just about anything inside a house...minus electricity...it just scares me.
13. I love music. All kinds of music. Mostly country and 60s rock. I can associate almost any song with a part of my life.
14. I appreciate football as much as any man. (Go Bucks and Go Bengals!)
15. I'm simple, I'm stubborn. I'm sarcastic. A text message junkie. I have an obsession with shampoo and conditioner. I have freckles. I believe in ghosts and I cling to the past.

I psyched you out on that last one, didn't I? :)
