This is the most recent photo I have. 
It was taken in November & I was 7 months pregnant.

Ten Facts

  1. My birthday is April 16th & I am 21 years old.
  2. I have blogged in one form or another since I was 12.
  3. I love to decorate and feel that something always needs a little tweaking.  We have โ€œcompletedโ€ our sonโ€™s room and our daughterโ€™s nursery.
  4. I feel like my calling in life is to be a mother.  Itโ€™s something I have known since my senior year of high school, well before I actually had kids.  I feel blessed to be able to stay home with my children.
  5. I have battled depression since the ripe old age of 12.  (Yes, I know kids arenโ€™t supposed to know what depression is at that age, but this gal did..)  I attempted suicide at age 14 and praise God, was found before it was too late.
  6. I wore braces for over four years(!!) and I wear contacts.  I canโ€™t see without them, but Iโ€™m too scared to have Lasik.
  7. In the past 24 hours, I have watched โ€œLightening Queen Carโ€ (better known simply as Carsโ€ three times.  (Yes, I know I shouldnโ€™t let my son watch that much TV, but we still arenโ€™t back to a routine and Iโ€™m still learning how to nurse the baby and occupy the toddler.)
  8. Saving money is my kinda โ€œhigh.โ€  I love the thrill of it and Iโ€™m glad I learned how to do it at a young age.
  9. I have gone on three cruises and four cross-country road trips. 
  10. I could eat pizza every single day and I recently started making it at home.

    That's a great picture of you

  • >I love your hair! It is beautiful. Do we need to put the linky on our site too? The button only takes you to your home page.

  • >Karen,

    Thank you! You don't have to put the linky on your page, but if you want to, you can. I directed the button to my homepage, because I'll have a challenge post on my front page every day so it'll be where everyone can find it. I hope that makes sense!

  • >Hi Whitney,
    Thanks for hosting this challenge. This might just be what will get me into a posting routine. Two things…I have a niece by marriage named Whitney and I have a sister whose birthday is April 16th….weird huh?

    Looking forward to getting to know everyone better in the next 31 days…
