Awards

First, let me just say that if you see your blog listed here, consider yourself tagged. I can't go to all 25 blogs individually and comment about these awards, and I think most of these go to my regular readers anyway. :) Second, blogger has been messing with my linking lately, so if you notice broken or wrong links, please do let me know so I can correct them.

Eva, over at Handmade Beginnings recently awarded me with the Honest Scrap award. I am supposed to tell my readers 10 things about myself and then pass the award on to 10 more bloggers who I enjoy keeping up with. Thank you, Eva!

Here goes:

1. Most important thing about me: I am a Christ-follower, who believes that the Bible is the true and accurate Word of God.

2. My dream is to go into full-time ministry in Asia.

3. In college, I pursued my elementary teaching credential. It was during that process (student teaching) that I realized that I wanted to homeschool my children.

4. I have a special place in my heart for those struggling with infertility. I spent the better part of the last two years as a gestational surrogate, and carried and gave birth to fraternal twins in Dec. 2008 for a couple dealing with infertility from my Bible study.

5. It may not seem like it from my blog, but I am terrible at organizing.

6. I like blogging. In fact, I have started at least 5 different blogs, but this one is the most active.

7. I am actually kind of terrified of large dogs. Unfortunately, I've passed this on to Miss O. :(

8. I can speak conversational Mandarin Chinese--pretty nifty, huh? :)

9. Kind of crazy--I've only attended public school for about 7 months of my life. I am the product of private, Christian education.

10. I used to want four kids, two close together, then a gap, and then two more close together. Now that I have my first two, 15 months apart, I don't think I can handle anymore! ;)

And, Sheena, over at Turning Ordinary into Extraordinary and Nicole over at Tired, Need Sleep both gave me the One Lovely Blog Award. Thank you both! :) The rules for this award are that I am supposed to pass it on to 15 more blogs that I have newly discovered and am enjoying.
