About Me

I've seen people post lists of things about themselves on their blogs before, so I thought I'd do the same here. Allow me to introduce myself:
  1. I was born in Illinois, raised in Pittsburgh, currently live in Cambridge, MA, and will move back to Pittsburgh soon. (And I went to college in Pittsburgh too.)
  2. I talk a lot.
  3. I really love the way that snow looks on the tree branches.
  4. Softball is my favorite sport to play.
  5. I prefer the mountains to the beach, but that doesn't mean I don't like the beach.
  6. I speak Spanish.
  7. I spent two separate years of my life out of the country in Germany (age 12) and Argentina (age 18)
  8. I have two children, one boy, one girl.
  9. My husband still loves me after 6-1/2 years of marriage; it's a miracle!
  10. I have two siblings, both married, both have kids, and both currently live in our hometown.
  11. I love to eat and particularly enjoy noodles with marinara sauce.
  12. My hair got curly at puberty.
  13. I really like bagging groceries, it appeals to my organizational bent.
  14. As organized as I want to be, my house has been pretty messy and dirty since my second was born!
  15. Someday I want to visit Alaska and Australia.
  16. I turn 30 in June.
  17. I like to read nonfiction more than fiction, but I always enjoy fiction.
  18. Sometimes I wonder what I'll be like as an old lady.
  19. I'm a Christian who used to be a hardcore people-pleasing legalist.
  20. I'm not what I ought to be, but I'm not what I used to be, either. Y'all can thank God for that with me. :)
I started this list a long time ago, closer to when I began this blog. I found it burred in my post list and decided to add a few more things and post. Anything else you'd like to know about me?

  2. Oh, good questions!

    Glasses: freshman year of college, and I've gone back and forth between glasses and contacts

    Public School - and I loved it!

    I decided to homeschool mainly because I like teaching E new things and watching her discover the world. Here's a more extensive explanation of my thoughts: http://pressingonwithgreathope.blogspot.com/2009/01/back-to-school_22.html

    Favorite thing about Boston....hm, it's hard to choose. I love the church, Christ the King. I love how walkable it is. I love the mixture of cultures. Mostly, I think I love all of the people I've met here! And, yes, MB is the best for groceries, a cultural experience in itself. :)

  3. I want to see pictures of you with straight hair! (I almost wrote "prepubescent pictures", but realized the connotation was, um, not good.)
