So, I feel like we need to get to know each other again. I will start. Hi. My name is Rachel. That's me up there--next to a castle in Scotland that I'm madly in love with. In Spanish, my name is Raquel. I like to read Jane Austen books. I also like to read Harry Potter books. I love antiques. I love Mexican food. I love to study other cultures. I am loving music from Chelsea Moon and Ray LaMontagne at the moment. I love freezing cold weather. I like rain. I like to watch Little House on the Prairie. I don't watch tv--only dvds. Except for Parenthood. I watch that online. I like the color green. I like chewy candy (hot tamales, good & plentys, caramels, etc.) I have recently fallen in love with Indian food & crave pashwarmi naan like I'm a crazed pregnant woman. Which I'm not...pregnant that is. Some days I want more kids. Some days, I can't imagine adding one more to the chaos. I like to dance to Lecrae in the privacy of my own home. I like things with birds on them. I love grey & yellow together. I like vintage things. I like to take pictures & dream of being a photographer. I am not attached to much of my stuff. I'm dreaming of living in Scotland. I watch Gilmore Girls almost every day. My favorite books of the Bible are Psalms, James, Luke and Proverbs. After all these years of telling you I struggle in my prayer life, I still struggle in my prayer life. I wear grey jammie pants that my Mama gave me during every waking moment that I'm not out in public. I love working with college girls. I feel things very deeply & empathize with people who are hurting. I love old hymns. I miss my Mom every day. I am addicted to carmex lip balm. I like it when my husband smiles at me. I like beat up hardwood floors. I have an antique button collection. I also make earrings out of buttons. I love to paint. I love to distress things. I love the smell of bacon and old books.

I'm a HUGE procrastinator. I'm addicted to Coke (the soft drink). I had the honor of being the foster mom to 13 placements within our first year of being licensed. Of course you have met and heard all about numbers 12 and 13 :)

We are a lot alike! I love green, vintage things, autumn, and photography. And I also like lots of the other things you mentioned but it would be weird to just repeat them all! :) amberwing223@gmail
ReplyDelete1. My name is Scottish, as in "bonnie wee lassie." I'm so excited you are going to Scotland with your bonnie wee lassies.
ReplyDelete2. I have Scottish ancestors, just as your husband does, and I know the difference between Scotch (the whisky) and Scottish (the people).
3. I like bagpipe music and once attended a gathering of the clans at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina, where I was told the McBurnetts are part of the Campbells of Argyll clan.
[I'm not commenting to win anything and would rather you shared that with your friends.]
Oh Rachel. Can you believe it's been 6 years since NC?! That is crazy talk to me.
ReplyDeleteHere's three random things about me:
1. I am obsessed with the "Autumn" candle from Bath & Body works. I've bought 5 of them.
2. I am a nerd. I'm a stickler for spelling (watch, I'll spell something wrong in this comment now!), love Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres, and organize things alphabetically all the time. Yes, I'm a nerd fo' shizzle.
3. I just made three tissue paper pom poms for the girls' room and I'm thinking I need to do some more fun things in there for them.
1). I'm a true Floridian. Born & raised in St. Pete FL. My parents are both true Floridians.
ReplyDelete2). I love Christmas time. I love all the lights that people put on their houses. I love sitting and looking at the Christmas tree. I love that it's Jesus' birthday. I love that the weather gives us a little break from the harsh heat.
3). I'm currently the mom to 4 kids. 3 girls and 1 emperor (I mean son). Our 3 youngest were born in China. They joined our family through the awesome miracle of adoption. We will soon be the parents to 6 miracles. We have 2 pre-teen girls waiting for us in China. We are so excited and scared at the same time.

Hi...im Tamara. I love to relax by sewing. I adore reading books. I am learning about being content where I am instead of wanting to be where I think I should be. I want to love Jesus mire and the world less...and I pray I someday will realize how much God loves me.
ReplyDeleteHi. My name is Julie, and I love books. I have a weird obsession with Charles Spurgeon, but I feel like it's healthy obsession. I really admire Elisabeth Elliot!!!
