25 Random Things About Me

I originally did this on Facebook, but thought I would share with the blog world too!

1.I love children and always wanted to have four. But with the difficulty I have in getting pregnant, staying pregnant and being pregnant, and the high cost of adoption that may not happen.

3.I am excited to start my new job, but feel a little guilty about leaving the kids.
4.I have a heart for the world’s orphans. It breaks my heart to think of all of the kids who go to bed without a forever family.
5.I am shy and sometimes uncomfortable around people I don’t know. (and sometimes people I do know)
6.I think Charlie is the funniest person alive and I have a bad habit of laughing at him at the wrong time.
