Loved reading these. Theses are a great way to learn more about a person.

I hate the water too! And I was born on an island...wonder if there is a correlation? ;-)
You did great on your Bible quiz for only reading it through once!
Loved your answers!
Loved getting to know you better!!
Where you home schooled?
Interesting, I don't think I could come up with 25 things I will have to give it a go
Hey Joy,
I can not lie (well, actuall I can but that's another story). I don't get on your blog very often but read through it tonight all the way back to Thanksgiving. Very fun to read. I'm going to the library tomorrow to find the Same Kind of Different Me. Hope you're all doing well! Love to all,
Karen
To answer Betty's question. I wasn't homeschooled. I attended a Christian school from K - 12th.

Regarding #12, I'd gladly let you take my recycling with you. I live in an apartment and hate that we don't have the option of recycling anything but cardboard and glass. I really wish the city would make them provide us bins, as they provide houses with them.
You are SOOOO funny! Ok...about your tonsils...I wish I had mine taken out! They cause me so much trouble, so often, these days!
Baptist Church = bad dancer... LOL LOL! I know, right? We used to go to a Baptist church for a short time, and I was like, "Look at the Pastor's wife! She's praising God as stiff as a plank!" LOL!
I have lived in a lot of different places, too!
At Healthy Options, they give you these Eco-Friendly hemp bags...you can use them even when you're not shopping at Healthy Options! Did you know that one? :)
You're not a dog lover? Bad Joy! Bad! Bad! lol! :)
I just love the picture of the dog you use!! Loved reading these 25 things.
Hugs!
Way to go! Good stuff! I've been thinking about doing these (I've seen several on Facebook), but for some reason it seems to start out like a whole lot of true confessions that I'd rather not make. Think I'll wait 'til I'm in a better frame of mind! ;-)
Love #10 and how awesome that you are praying your girls through school!
I enjoyed reading your post, Joy. I clip coupons, too. :)
It is so nice to be in a blog that glorifies God's name.
So what brought you to Utah 14 years ago? That was right around the same time I was leaving UT to move to TN (then KY a year later).
I loved reading your list and learning more about you.
I know this is way late in the game, but wanted to comment on your 25 list. You and I have a LOT in common. I would say the number one thing is the taking others trash to recycle. Yep, I too am a closet recycle'r! Haha. I lived 10 years in Boulder, CO and I think it had a HUGE impact on me!
