99 things about me…

1. I have an amazing husband! He can make me laugh even if I'm in the worst mood. I swear he can do anything… computers, handiwork, heavy lifting… etc.

3. I love music and singing.

4. I can play the guitar, piano and flute, but not very well.

5. I HATE yard work. I mean with a passion. I envy beautifully landscaped yards, but sadly mine will never be that way.

6. I have been to Mexico and Hawaii (twice). I’d love to go to Canada. Specifically Montreal – to see Jarom’s mission. I’d also like to go to Japan.

13. My favorite food is pasta.

14. I have had a recurring nightmare since I was probably 5 about a giant caterpillar that is chasing me. The last time I had this dream was about 2 months ago. I think it stems from a secret fear of them.
