39 Things

I just read on another blog the importance of having an "About Me" page. Since my profile is kinda vague, I thought perhaps a "100 Things" post would be a good start. Please note, this is a work in progress.

Edited: A 100 Things list would be nice, but it's harder than I thought. 39 seems like a nice start.

1. I was born in 1983.
2. I am married to Ryan, since May 2008.
3. I have two children, Darren (Feb. 2007) and Leah (March 2008).
4. I am chronically stuck in 1950.
5. Not surprisingly, I love poofy dresses that twirl.
6. And shoes that click as I walk across the floor.
7. Ryan is my high school sweetheart.
8. I made my first quilt in high school. From a distance, it looks decent.

27. I love old-fashioned farm houses.
