March 1st, one step closer to spring! In honor of that, I am linking up with Lynette over at Dancing Barefoot and participating in a blog party for the week. Who doesn't like a party?! Granted, I guess if I want some munchies, I'm on my own for that one! (and this prego chick sure could use a snack about now!) She's given a list of questions we can answer so others can get to know us better. I figure along with my regular blog ideas I'll also answer a few of those questions just to change things up.
For those who are stopping by for the first time, a quick intro:
My name is Jenn, married to Kevin for 12yrs & I'm a homeschooling mom to our 5 (soon-to-be 6 kiddos) in Pennsylvania. I started this blog almost a year ago when our son was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 in my 33rd week of pregnancy. I wanted a way to share with others what we are going through in hopes that God would use our lives & Noah's story for His purpose. My blog has often shared our raw emotions as we go through this grieving process as well as my random thoughts & a glimpse into our everyday lives (like our 13 day cruise we went on just a few months ago starting Nov 28th). I love to garden, be in the kitchen cooking & baking and reading when I get the chance.
Now onto a few of Lynette's questions.....
What celebrity/celebrities would create a “Star-Struck” feeling if you saw them in real life?
-I'd say Johnny Depp BUT only dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow. A little weird? Perhaps, but I find his character a lot more visually appealing than himself in real life! LOL Gotta love a guy that can pull off the eyeliner so well! haha
If you could live anywhere at all (and take all your loved ones with you), where would you go?
- I would say anywhere in the southern Caribbean. Where it's nice and warm all year round, clear blue oceans to swim in.....yup, island life would be great! Here's a pic I took while in the Dominican Republic when we were there 3 months ago.....
Ok because I can't resist (and I'm seriously wishing I was here about now), here's one from Antigua I snapped this past December after Kevin & the kids were goofing off. See, who needs snow, you can make sandmen instead of snowmen!! LOL
What is your comfort food/drink?
-This is a hard one. Those that know me know I am not a big eater nor do I usually eat junk food either. I love about anything (except liver, YUCK!) and will always try something once. Being pregnant, I often can't even figure out WHAT to even eat most times and usually don't crave anythng. But as I was writing this, it struck me......SUSHI!!! Oh yeah with lots of wasabi! (I love spicy food). I have even eaten it for breakfast. Great, now that I wrote it I want some!!! UGH too bad there isn't a place close by or I would be getting
Well, I think I will stop there for now with answering random questions. I do want to share a picture of this beautiful necklace my dear friend Jen recently gave me. She had it custom made with Noah's actual footprints!!! ♥ I tried to avoid the glare while taking the picture but it says "fearfully & wonderfully made". Then it has his name and birthday. I love it!
Ending with a quote I found earlier today-"Some of the best things in life: Faith in God, friends that stay through your worst, courage to face a hard day, hope for a better tomorrow."
Fun post, Jenn. The necklace is precious. Hope you're having a good Tues:)
ReplyDeleteI hope that "sandman" picture was your Christmas card last year!
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is so precious.
I'm visiting from the blog party! It's a pleasure to meet you. Captain Jack Sparrow used to get to me too for the same reason. LOL
ReplyDeleteVery nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI collect snowmen and LOVE that picture of the sand snowman!!
Hugs and prayers as you approach your birth and the birthday of your sweet Noah.
You have a lovely family and your blog is sweet. The sandmen picture made my heart melt. That was so cute! I could use some warm sand right about now. I'm so over winter this year. I love living where the seasons change--don't get me wrong--but for some reason, I'm done with snow. I really, really like the quote at the end, too! Very nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
ReplyDeleteI totally have a thing for Cpt. Jack!! I don't mind Johnny himself either!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote at the end!
ReplyDeleteI love your necklace. I'm hoping to get something like that with Seth's footprints on it!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. I am in PA too! Wishing too that I was somewhere warmer, but not to hot either. Though the sandman did make me laugh...along with your saying you suddenly wanted food and blaming it on the baby. I have so done that...
