Ten Things I Enjoy:
1) I love to take long walks
2) I enjoy most being one-on-one with people and having deep discussions
3) Animals! We have the sweetest, smartest and most neurotic dog in the world.
4) I love being the only girl in my family (I have a wonderful husband, two amazing sons and that neurotic (male) dog.)
5) Since I’m surrounding by ‘my men’ at home, I delight in my ministry to young teen girls. I do lots of informal discipleship—through meeting together, sharing, praying, memorizing Scripture.
6) I love to hear the sound of a natural spring gurgling, a child giggling, my sons laughing, my husband singing, birds chirping.
7) I'm not a great cook, but I do enjoy baking and I do like chocolate.
8) I like watching movies but I don’t like to watch the news on TV—too depressing.
9) I love to cuddle up in bed at the end of a long day with a good book.
10) I enjoy taking photos and putting them in scrapbooks--I have about 50 of them and was 'scrapbooking' before that was even a word!
