We know you are on the edge of your seats waiting for our 10 honest facts! So here they are:</p>10 things about me. . .<br /><p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Shauna</p>~I never have enough hours in the day.<br /><p>~I love the smell of rain and fresh laundry.</p>~My greatest joys in life are my wonderful husband Darren, and my two adorable children. . .Mckenna 2 years and Carter 7 months.<br /><p>~I love to be outside, especially in my gardens.</p>~I probably have a "life is good" shirt for every day of the week. . . . . maybe not the most stylish but they just make me Happy.<br /><p>~I love to play games. . .either on the soccer field or around the game table. . . . BRING IT ON!! :)</p>~I love to listen to music, children's laughter,the wind in the trees, birds singing, and a good thunderstorm.<br /><p>~I am horrible with numbers. . . I can't tell you the price of anything or what I paid for it.</p>~My favorite foods are steak and potatoes, sweet iced-tea, tomatoes just picked from the vine, strawberries, and a BIG glass of chocolate milk (yes, Chas, chocolate is so much better)<br /><p>~I don't think there are many things that are more beautiful than a sunset. . . it just makes me think that God has painted another beautiful picture for us all to enjoy every time I see one.</p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Debbie</span><br /><p>1. I come from a long generation of tree climbers (not to be confused with tree huggers, though I am an avid gardener and conservationist), my mom, grandma and great-grandma were all tree climbers. I spent many a childhood hour up in a tall Maple in my grandma's front yard.</p>2. I am a salt-aholic. I salt my pizza. Yes, I said pizza. Now, I like my sugar too, mostly because the salty-sweet cycle wouldn't be complete without it, but if I ever end up with high blood pressure, just go ahead and shoot me.<br /><p>3. I am pro-life.</p>4. I would rather be alone with my husband on a mountain top forest in Wyoming than anywhere else I have thus far visited on earth.<br /><p>5. I love a good, clean romantic movie and HATE the television. With the exception of 24. (sheepish grin)</p>6. Paper Dolls by the Mills Brothers is one of my all time favorite songs. (another of Grandma's favorites)<br /><p>7. When I was a little girl I had the most girlie of all ambitions for when I grew up...are you ready for this one....drum roll please....I wanted to be a truck driver. What can I say, I saw the movie Convoy, and I sure loved that CB!!! I am over that one now....really...but I do like to say 10-4!</p>8. I never, ever, ever want to deep sea dive or be in a submarine. Not a huge concern here in good ol' Missouri! Whew, I got the willies just thinking about it!!<br /><p>9. I hate shopping malls. Give me an auction, thrift store or flea market any day.</p>10. Reading outloud to my family is one of my most favorite things in life. The night before our oldest got married, her one request is that I would read to the whole family one more time. Oh yes, you bet I cried...<br /><p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Chasity</p>1. Before becoming a stay-at-home mommy, I worked as a gardener at a botanical garden.<br /><p>2. I love thunderstorms and would like to see a tornado if I could be guaranteed safety.</p>3. My childhood dream of owning a horse still lingers to this day.<br /><p>4. I hate country music but I love Bluegrass....most people don't get this one.</p>5. I had my first date with my husband when I was 15 years old.<br /><p>6. I attempt to play the fiddle {not well, but it's fun anyway}</p>7. I wanted to be Jeannie when I was a kid {you know, I Dream of Jeannie}<br /><p>8. In kindergarten, my best friend's name was Sugar and we had matching doggie-in-a-doghouse necklaces.</p>9. I dream of singing at the Grand Ole Opry with someone wonderfully talented...like Ricky Skaggs.<br /><p>10. My best vacation ever was to Maine and I spent a lot of the time by myself....what is that saying?!</p>We hope you enjoyed our lists. It was great fun to make them. Thanks Anna.<br /><p>Have a beautiful weekend everybody.Love,the wild raspberry sisters </p><p></p>the wild raspberryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15914734365583266636noreply@blogger.com
