1. I have ALWAYS wanted to marry a farmer. In elementary school I started praying for a farmer husband. I kept this dream through my teenage years. God answers prayers for sure! I married Mr. Farmer in 2006 as God looked down and said ‘Ba-zinga!’
2. I was voted MOST SPIRITED my senior year of high school!!!! Whoop, Whoop!! Yeah, baby!!
We’ve got spirit, yes we do! We’ve got spirit, how ’bout you?
3. I cried everyday of kindergarten and most days of 3rd grade. But not 2nd.
4. I live in a 800 square foot pole barn in the middle of a field in the midwest. With 3 kids and a husband. My sanity has left me.
5. I love Christina Aguilera and George Straight music from the late 80’s and early 90’s.
6. I love going to the dentist. I HATE going to the eye doctor. It’s an eye EXAM. An EXAM! I totally feel like it’s an exam. I avoid it like the plaque by sometimes purchasing 2 years worth of contacts just do I don’t have to go back every year.
7. I got to know my farmer husband (*refer to #1), while I worked at a local cookie shop. He would come by at close to flirt and get free cookies. Probably more for the free cookies. One week I said I didn’t want a boyfriend. The next week I said something along the lines of ‘I want you to ask me out on a date.’ Women. So complicated š
8. My first job was serving food to nuns at a convent. And I may, or may not, have gotten into a couple food fights there.
9. The only foods I HATE are peas and coconut.
10. I won a blue ribbon for the elementary school’s annual field day multiple years in a row. Actually, the only year I remember NOT winning was the year that the judge only counted the times my rope hit the floor. Not my number of jumps.
11. Before meeting my husband, I wasn’t sure the difference between a democrats and republican.
True confessionā¦
I didn’t care.
12. I LOVE LOVE LOVE gas station donuts.
Another true confessionā¦
I have made multiple late night runs to the gas station for food.
13. I always wanted to raise cattle (refer to #1 again). My husband grew up raising livestock so he is enjoying the last decade of livestock free responsibility. However, I convinced him to get chickens for me. He thinks since the kids and I struggle to collect the eggs, keep up on the feed and water and cleaning the coop then we probably aren’t ready for cattle. He’s probably right.
14. I am a morning person. After about 9:00pm my brain shuts off. Completely.
15. My first vehicle was a 2 door red Grand Prix. My second, a red Chevy Blazer. My third, my first true love, was and still is in my garage, a black 1995 Jeep Wrangler (straight 6, automatic, soft top).
16. I was 2000 winter homecoming queen.
17. I’m pretty sure my family thought I would never have kids.
And one bonus:

#17 made me laugh (that thought may have crossed my mind a few times)
And I may have nightmares tonight remembering our Porky Pig day. Never Again!!
I think of it every reunion and every time I am tempted to eat like a porky pig!!
Just some additions.
#8 We had some epic food fights. It’s not a real food fight unless there are some bruises.
#14 This is so true. I think you have fallen asleep in the middle of a sentence while talking to me at 9:01 pm. And you are NEVER just “resting your eyes”
#15 I’ll never forget stealing your Grand Prix but I have better memories of cruising in the Blazer singing Christina Aguilera and Dixie Chicks songs at the top of our lungs.
Your additions are fantastic and perfect add ons!
