And just because I didn't do it yesterday...
Here's a recent pic of me!
: )

20 facts about me...

1.  I am a 1st grade teacher, but I have also taught 4th grade and piano, as well as music and 5th grade for a short while.

2.  I LOVE to travel and I definitely would like to do more.  I haven't really traveled too widely, but the other countries I have visited include:  Canada, Guatemala, Belize, Israel, Jordan, and the Bahamas.  Hopefully I'll be heading to India and Nepal this summer!

3.  I started horseback riding 4 years ago - English jumping.  I'm not really sure what discipline it is; I don't compete or anything.  It's just English riding and I practice going over jumps.  

4.  I have played the piano since I was 10 (I was a music major in college).

5.  I am the pianist at my church.  I also played the organ for many years, but I've never officially taken lessons.  

6.  I want to learn photography, Spanish, French, and Hebrew.

7.  I LOVE to read and I help coach our school's Battle of the Books team.

8.  I first read Anne of Green Gables at age 8 and I have loved it ever since.  Redheads have to stick together.  

9.  So yes, I have red hair.  

10.  I'm not a super-adventurous person, but I have tried the following at least once:  parasailing, Scuba diving, swimming with nurse sharks and stingrays.  I'm pretty proud that I at least tried these things!! :)

11.  I've only had one cavity in my life and I was supposedly born with it.  

12.  I've never broken a bone.  Too cautious, I guess.  :)

13.  I'm totally a country girl at heart.  I could definitely see myself living in the middle of 100 acres on a horse farm.  But I also love the city life, at least to visit.  NYC is so much fun!

14.  My eyes change colors - sometimes they look brown, but they have been known to look hazel and even green.  

15.  My favorite flowers are tulips and my favorite season is spring.  

16.  I am a Mother's Day baby.  : )

17.  I love books of lists, ideas and things to do.    

18.  My favorite Disney princess is Cinderella, although I probably look more like Ariel and act more like Belle.  I also love Tinkerbell, but I guess she's not a "real" Disney princess?  

19.  The first movie I saw in a theater was Pinocchio.  

20.  And finally, I made the decision to accept Jesus as my Savior at 6.  Yes, 6.  My faith has been a huge part of my life and made me the person that I am today.  I totally believe that I would not be alive today without God - and this is because of more than one instance in my life.  

Until tomorrow...
