Last Day of 30 Days About Me

Day 30 Your Dreams/Goals

Ah I can't believe I actually stuck through a commitment on my blog for a whole month! SOOOO exciting! Maybe this will boost my confidence :)

I have lots of life goals that run through my head on a daily basis. I hope I can actually get them out of my head and on "paper" right now!

1. Buy a house within the next 2 years! I posted my dream house idea on day 15. My actual goal is just to buy a house on a least 2 acres in the country. It WILL happen!

2. Finish Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps. I am working on step 3 right now! I guess you wouldn't technically ever finish the baby steps, so I will re-phrase it to get to baby step 7 before I'm 40 :) (12 years)

3. Write a book. No time limit on this.

4. I want to travel around the world when the kids are out of the house.

5. I want to read through the bible from beginning to end, and then study it verse by verse on my own. Even if it takes the rest of my life :)

6. Lose weight and have a healthy toned body...By next summer ;)

Ok I think that will be enough, even though I doubt I scratched the surface! It was a pleasure reading about new people this month, and I have found some new blogs I will be reading too :) Thanks to Toni for setting this up and I hope we can do something like this again very soon! :)

30 Days About Me Day 29

Day 29: Your support System

Of course I have to put Jesus down as my main support system. I would love to say that I ALWAYS lean on Him through everything, but that would be lying. However, even through my imperfections He is ALWAYS there to lift me back up. Isn't that amazing? He loves me even though I forget Him too often.

My husband is very supportive on almost everything. I say almost because he has to remind me I can't do everything alone and I also can't control every situation. He is there to listen to me rant and cry even though I know he does not always enjoy it. He is a tell you like it is kind of person, which is hard to hear most times. God gave me a great mate because even though I don't like hearing to hard truth, it's exactly what this kind of girl needs :)

My best friend is also a great supporter because she plays "devil's advocate", kind of like my husband. We call it "God's Advocate" instead because we think that's who's really the one advocating!!!

30 Days About Me Day 27

Day 27 Worst Habit

Consistancy! I am the most inconsistant person in the world. In my head I have all these "things" I want to do or accomplish. But sadly I never do or I start but never finish or follow through... Maybe that's more like procrastination... I don't know but I am sure you catch my drift.

Don't Be Confused

Don't be confused :) You are still at the right blog... I was just having fun changing it up for fall :) Have a great day :)

Goat Milk Soap

Last week I stopped at my local farmer's Market and bought some homemade goat milk soap. I chose the Spicy Apples and Peaches scent and I am in LOVE! It smells amazing. I now have my family hooked on it for life I think. I stopped by this moring and bought two more and had great conversation with the maker of these wonderful soaps! Even more wonderful she has a website The Washtub Soap Co. for you too look at her stuff. Please go buy her out of stock! You wont be disappointed!

30 Days About Me Day 26

Day 26 We Are Talking Shopping Favorite Clothing Store/Stores

I am not a great shopper. I really have no sense of fashion. My husband and my best friend do so I usually have either of them with me. I get really excited to go shopping, but after about an hour I'm done and want to go home:)


In high school my favorite store was American Eagle . I can no longer afford to shop there in this season of my life :(

Now I prefer Old Navy because it's a one stop shop for our entire family! I love their girls clothes. Their style is very casual, just how I like it! If I want to dress up I usually go to Target!

30 days About Me Day 25

Day 25 Best Friends

Jana (amber's mom), Amber and Me


My best friend Amber has been in my life since we were 11. I started 6th grade in a school that didn't feed in from my elementary school. I knew going that first day that I would not know a single person. I can vividly remember how nervous I was walking in that first day. I got to my first class and it was science. There was only one empty spot left next to Amber. I asked her if it was ok that I sat there, she said she didn't mind. The rest is history! We have been best of friends since. It was like love at first sight...BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ;) We have had some serious ups and and extremely serious downs, but in the end she was and is always there when I need her. Way more than I ever am for her :( I am the selfish friend and she is the giving friend, I am the passive one and she is the out spoken one.

My husband is also my best friend. I think he is just amazing. I am so blessed that he chose to marry me (not that there was any competition ;) He is such a great leader for our family. He is funny, outspoken, a great Daddy and a lover of Jesus!

Pattern Of Wounds

Pattern Of Wounds by J. Mark Bertrand

I was thrilled to start reading this book it being my first murder mystery and all! I was hooked right away. This one will leave you guessing until the very end. Just when you think you have it figured out, Bertrand throws another curve into the story and all of what you thought you had figured out goes right out the window!

I was provided this book for review from Bethany House Publishers for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
