This is the start of something new...

I have decided to start a blog.  I don't really know what to write for my first blog so I decided to tell you 17 things about myself.  (no, not 25...I don't like the number)

1.  My first nephew was born and adopted August 9th 2008.  His name is John Porter Sentell.  I am absolutely unbelievably in love with him.

2.  I have always had my entire life planned out to the T.  I no longer have any plans really, I don't even think I want to teach, and for the first time I am truly happy.

3.  I miss Italy.  I was only there for a month and I fell in love.

4.  I hate that people assume I am an unintelligent because I am small, blonde(ish), and female.

5.  I really wish I could do volunteer work for the rest of my life...but here are some things I would like to do in my lifetime (not all volunteer)

         - own a bookstore

         - teach ESL

         - work in a museum

         - improve the literacy rate (of any town)

         - teach the gospel to as many people as I can

   

6.  I absolutely hate loaf bread.  Sandwiches, hamburgers, and hotdogs. UCK!

7.  I try to forgive easily...and am learning not to trust as easily...but I try to see the best in everyone...even when there is very little good in that person.  70x7

8.  I have never considered myself to be very pretty.  However, I am beginning to love myself and in doing that...I love the way I look.

9.  I have had my heart completely broken once.  And I have completely broken one heart.

10.  I have never wanted children of my own.  However, I would LOVE to adopt children from ALL over the world.  I either want 0 children...or 5 or 7.  I know, I'm strange.  haha

11.  I'm stubborn and hard-headed but as passionate as it comes.

12.  I know I will marry my prince and i will live happily ever after.  People who tell me otherwise only make me angry.  Happily ever after does exist.  But that doesn't mean everything is perfect.  If it was perfect, I wouldn't be happy.

13.  I want a yorkie.  The end.  If it is a boy I think I will name it Jasper, a girl...Rosalie.

14.  I am a princess.  I was never 3 years old...or 18.  Just ask my parents.  They will confirm.

15.  I like to eat plain lays potato chips and icing...together.

16.  I am blessed beyond measure.  God has been too good to me.  I pray I can use my blessings for His service.

17.  I miss the fun we had senior year, just the 4 of us... I miss my sisterhood being together... I miss blake lane every day... I wish Miranda lived closer to me....but this year I have YOU.
