SIX RANDOM THINGS......about me!


I have been tagged by my sweet friend, Kim
at
to list six random things about......ME!
So, here goes.....this should be fun!
I have not participated in one of these in quite awhile.

First one:
We are a Homeschool Family!



It is a passion and a blessing for me to be with and teach my daughter each day!

She is such a joy......and very eager to learn!
She absorbs things so quickly...and everyday she teaches me new things about the topics and subjects we are studying, especially in science ...(her favorite subject)....I just love our days!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Second tidbit:

I love to take afternoon rides in our little "fun car"....with the top down!



.....we have some good music playing.....just letting our hair blow in the wind.....and enjoying all the beauty around us on the country roads!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third item:


I wear Jessica McClintock New Victorian Perfume



I just love it!

When Chelsi (or Chuck)....*wink*... hug me...
they ALWAYS say..."Oooooo, you smell soooooo good!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fourth tidbit:


I was a cheerleader in College!



I couldn't find any old pics of me in the uniform...there are a few around here....but I couldn't locate one at the moment!


I cheered for one year only... my sophomore year.....it was rather difficult to keep up the pace of sports events and studies! So, after that year....I chose to carry the maximum 21 hours each semester and I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 3 years and one summer! Whew!


OH, and guess who was the official team videographer?!?!?!


Yep, my hubby!!!

This is when we began dating...and ultimately knew we would be married as soon as we were both out of college!

And we did!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Fifth one:


I LOVE LOVE LOVE pictures!!! (Whooda thunk it???) hee-hee!


We have pictures all over our walls in our home....honestly....there are only a few Non-portrait pictures on our walls....most every wall is adorned with family photos! (hum.....ok...mostly Chelsi-photos!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the last tidbit about me....

I love candles....oh my....I light them everyday....they smell so good!

I prefer the yummy smelling ones....like cinnamon, caramel, fresh baked cookies, birthday cake, biscotti, etc!

There you have it....six random things about me!

If you'd like to participate in this list..please leave me a comment so that I can check out your random list of interesting tidbits....about YOU!

Mmmmm....I am smelling my yummy vanilla candle right now. :) I love anything like Christmas cookies, vanilla, or birthday cake candles! Yum! :)

Thank you for your incredibly sweet comment over at my place! You are such an encourager!

I was enjoying all of your beach pictures the other day. I did not get to leave a comment as my oldest sweetie was standing over my shoulder waiting for her turn on the computer. :) But it looks like you had a fabulous time! I loved the sand octopus!!!

As always, I love your beautiful heart for your family!

Blessings, sweet Denise!

You and Chelsi look so much alike! Two "great blondes" LOL... I am a photo fanatic too. That is my favorite artwork.

What a great list friend. Thanks so much for playing along.

If you want, swing on by with your "fun car"...I'll be ready by 7pm! :-)

PandaMom said...

Your words are so kind to me. How can you love me so though we haven't met? However, I believe you. I believe that you truly are as sweet and loving as you sound. Thank you.

Your list? Though I have never smelled the perfume I can only imagine it smells divine. The rest of the list is me to T (well, you know that homeschool story...but it's in my heart!)

I am counting down the days until we meet this side of heaven, friend.

Always good to learn more about you, Denise.
You are a fabulous creature - and you know, I would have guessed that you smell really good! hehe

stumbled onto your blog.. but it didn't hurt, because there is alot of love here to soften the blow! ;)

The picture of you and your daughter is BEAUTIFUL. You two are quite the pair!
And I myself am a homeschooling wanna-be. So glad you have that priceless time with your daughter!

And how fun are you sportin' around in your sporty little car! And a cheerleader to boot? Something tells me you would be ALOT of fun to hang out with!

Thanks for allowing me to stop in. I am blessed for having done so!

Happy Day!
