1. I used to be in musicals when I was little. Since my mommy was in college then, she helped me audition for shows in their theatre department. She was a fabulous actress and singer too! She had a big role in "Into the Woods," and I was in "Annie" and "Oliver." I loved being in front of an audience and getting to be someone else for those few hours. I had a big voice for being such a little girl, and I have a feeling you will too!
2. I never took ballet when I was little. I know that is something that almost every little girl does, but I took Jazz dance instead. I guess when the time comes, I will see what you like and what you decide. I have always wondered if it would have helped me be more graceful. :)
3. I think I want to go to China. One of my friends told me recently that she and her family will soon be starting the process of adopting a little girl from China, and I have a feeling that they will turn it into a mission trip opportunity for our group from church. And I am pretty sure I want to go, even though God hasn't laid it on my heart that adopting is right for us. I just think it would be exciting to visit that part of the world and do something wonderful to help orphans.
4. I am sometimes so in love with your hair color that I wonder if I could pull it off. It would certainly cost a lot to maintain it, but then at least people would stop asking if you are my child.
5. I have a thing for having stuff that other people don't have. I don't necessarily have to have the most expensive things, just things that are unique. It can sometimes lead to me wearing or buying things that other people might think are weird, but I feel good knowing that it is just mine and no one else's. (Hard to do when you like chain stores and have classic taste.) But I hope I can show you how fun it is to have quirky jewelry or crazy shoes that make you feel special. Like these, wouldn't they be fun to build an outfit around?6. I have never been to the majority of the historical landmarks in our nation, like Yellowstone or The Lincoln Memorial or the Liberty Bell. I think it would be fun for us to plan a trip when you are older to go see some of the things that are a part of our country's story. Your daddy has great stories of his childhood trips, so I want you to have those too.
7. I have said since I was a little girl that I wanted to be a writer. I may not be the most intelligent or funny person ever, but I think I have experienced certain things that are worth reading about. Maybe I will start to take that a bit more seriously for both work and at home and do more writing to actually have published.
8. Mommy was in a sorority. A really fun one. And no, you can't hear those stories until you are much older.
9. I have secretly dreamed of having my own business, but have too many things stirred up in my head of what to sell. I love stationary, refinished furniture, accessories, and books. I think that is way too vague of a business plan. But if we win the lottery (miraculously, since we don't buy tickets) I think both your daddy and I would want to become our own bosses. He would probably open up a sports training facility.
There, don't you feel like you know us so much better now?
