well i was tagged by my dear cousin at Don't Make Us Stop This Car! tagged me. this means i need to share 8 things about my family you don't know. so here goes nothing....

1. i have the same first and last name as my hubby's brother. we also held the same career for a short while.

2. mapboy is named after his great grandfather. i agreed to this only knowing that the family called him stinky pa. i must have really been in love with hubby to agree to that one!! mapboy is affectionately called stinkpot!

3. hubby and i dated for 6 weeks and were married in 5 months. i spent 3 of those months in europe. i think most people thought we were crazy!!

4. my family wanted to name me after my father's seed company - i'm thankful my mom is a wise woman!

5. hubby NEVER disobeyed his parents. his mom confirmed this when i called doubting my husbands bragging. i wonder why our kids didn't inherit that trait?

6. my closest friends are all people i at one time found the most frustrating or annoying people on earth!! funny eh?!?! we all laugh about it now!

7. i dream of one day living in slovakia or romania.

8. we are plagued with plumbing problems....i'll do a whole post on that b/c it is a great story!!!

hopefully you have all enjoyed getting to know us a little bit better...there are some fun stories wrapped up in these 8 facts.

i now tag one of those dear friends that i found really annoying at one time - when i lived with her as a freshman in college. thankfully, God allowed us to become great friends once we stopped living together!!!! your it, dear friend at Mauch Meanderings

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
