One of my most favorite people in the world is hosting a super fun blogger "Speed Date" linkup party and I thought it would be fun to join in! Come on over to Nicole's blog today to link up with other bloggers and learn more about them! Here are some random, quick little tidbits about me. Will you give me a rose at the end of our date? ;)
I was home-schooled from grades 5-12. Yes, I turned out normal. And yes, I know it's not for everyone but I would totally recommend it if you're considering doing it for your littles. If you have more questions, email me.

I have completely changed my original plan for our baby girl's nursery. It's gonna rock.
When we moved out-of-state last year, 8 other couples that we were friends with did so also. Now we are all over the US, in Hawaii, AZ, Texas and Florida. It makes me sad.
I'm still friends with friends from elementary school, junior high, high school, and college. I don't believe in "out with the old and in with the new." I've always strived to keep the Girl Scout Promise :) I can not stand people who float from one friendship of the moment to the next. I've been one of the friends of the moment, and it stings.
My husband's job annoys the crap out of me sometimes (mainly, the inconsistent schedule), but I'm so thankful for it after years of job loss and instability. We haven't paid a dime for this baby yet and we won't after she's born. I'm thankful for things like good insurance, and a hard-working man.
I won't be reading the book "Fifty Shades of Grey" and I can sum up why in one sentence: Phil 4:8 "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Can I get an AMEN.
I have an awesome group of girlfriends here in AZ and almost all of them are married or dating men that work with my husband. I love that work drama has never affect our friendships. It's such a cool testament how people can live in unity with one another.
I'm Casey Wiegand's virtual assistant and take care of her emails and anything else that she needs help with. I love her to the moon and back. I've never met her, but she was one of the first people I called to tell that I was having a little girl. It's amazing how God can bring people into your life, some that you've never even met-- to grow you, strengthen you, and teach you to love more.
One of my closest friends lives 4 doors down from me. And she loves me so much that even though her and her husband decided to buy a bigger house, they are only moving 28 doors down and still on the same street. Hahaha.
I am addicted to Sour Patch Kids and really need to get a healthy grip on weeding them out of my life.
I'm super cheap and hate to spend a lot of money on one big item. I'd rather take the money and go buy a ton of little stuff. My husband is the complete opposite.
Speaking of my husband, I met him when I was in a relationship with someone else at the time. I told my mom I was gonna marry him. And although I almost backed out of my first date with him, my mom told me that I would always regret it if I didn't go. Man, was she right ;) You can read more about our story here.
I've lost some relationships in the last couple of years, and although it's been hard, I feel like God always has a way of removing relationships from your life that are either toxic, unhealthy or do not lift you up. And sometimes it's just because you say the hard thing, and they don't like you anymore.
I'll always get deep with you, rather than surface level. Sorry, I can't talk about shoes for 25 minutes, it's exhausting.
My spiritual strength is the gift of encouragement and organization. My love language is words of affirmation. And my Myers-Brigg's assessment is ESFJ. I'm an ESFJ 100%.
I've grown more and more introverted over the years. I enjoy time alone now. And I've 100% been delivered from my fear of man issues that I've struggled with over the years and have really noticed that my "people pleasing" issues have changed in the last year. This is such a "God thing."
My biggest fear is of Joshua dying. And I have to fight that toxic thought ever single day that he leaves, closes the garage door, and goes to work.
I miss home a lot, but not enough to move back. If my parents moved here, life would be complete.
I will tell you that no one, not one person-- has successfully guessed our baby girl's name on this blog (starts with an "E"). I'm so glad her name is unique!
Joshua and I finally saw "The Avengers" last night. I'm so glad we sat on the end of the aisle because at 30 weeks pregnant now, the bathroom is my new best friend. Oh, and the movie was awesome.
Last year, I was a e-commerce marketing coordinator working for a chain of luxury resorts in Mexico. I went to paid lunches, dressed up every day for work, was flown down to Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta on business trips and was bring in a second income.
This year, I'm preparing to give birth to our firstborn. I wear gym clothes most days, make lunch in my own kitchen, and am about to embark on the most unglamourous, exhausting, thankless job known to man: motherhood. A career won't keep me warm at night. I wouldn't trade this upcoming "job" for all the riches known to man, because I know it will be the best job in the whole world. This blog post got me all excited to be a mom, wow, just wow... what a beautiful priviledge.
