Installment #4 and I promise #5 won't take as long.

31. I cried the first time I got a C on my report card. I don't mean like a tear or two...major crying.

32. I am not the smartest of my mom's kids. My sister is super smart...she cried when she made her first B...it turned out the teacher made a mistake and she really had an A.

33. I only watch swimming, gymnastics, track and field when watching the Olympics.

34. I've tried Weight Watchers...it really works if you stick with it...I didn't!

35. I talk really, really fast when I'm nervous, excited, or mad. Anthony can't understand a word, but my mom knows every word I've said.

36. I've vowed at least 5 times this year that I will clean up my cussing mouth..I haven't

37. I get so aggravated when I tell people my parents got divorced when I was two and they say, "At least you didn't have to through all of that"...I want to say "are you kidding? No child of divorce doesn't have to 'go through all of that' no matter how young they are...the fallout of divorce goes on for years!"

38. I've thought about going back to college to teach high school...small moments of pure insanity.

39. I am a Dothan High Tiger fan....eventhough I graduated from Northview (the rival high school).

40. I'm only a DHS fan because my sister cheered for them and my brother plays football there.

41. I am a reformed shopaholic...I became reformed when I realized I had a wedding to pay for!

42. I still get excited when I drive by Jordan-Hare.

43. I'm judgmental...I'm really trying to work on that.

44. If I had to describe myself in three word it would be...opinionated, determined, and emotional.

45. I knew nothing about Mormons before meeting Brooke and Heather.

46. I'm not very good at keeping in touch with friends and family.

47. I believe that being hurt is sometimes beyond your control, but you choose to be a victim (emotionally that is).

48. I am trying more to live by the motto, "Choose being kind over being right." This is very hard for me...i.e. opinonated, judgmental

49. I wish I had chosen to have a shorter engagement..too late now.

50. I have a hard time forgiving people...God is really dealing with me in that area right now.

Installment #3...I know it took a while!

21. No matter how hard I try to not be so "fussy" I can't seem to let an argument go...it doesn't matter if it's with my mom, sister, or Anthony...I can certainly "beat a dead horse."

22. All of my close friends I made after high school. I still talk to a couple of people from high school, but my really good friends were made in and after college.

23. I met my future husband when I was 10 years old. Anthony and I met in the fifth grade!

24. I was the director of my church's Vacation Bible School this year..I have taught at VBS for several years, but this was my first time (and quite possibly the last) as director.

25. I am afraid of heights.

26. I hate roller costars and other scary rides...this certainly has a lot to do with my fear of heights and terrible motion sickness.

27. I have been "saved" since I was 13 years old.

28. I have a hard time remembering that being saved doesn't mean being perfect at all (or at any) times.

29. I once wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, but I have since realized that it is way too much work!

30. I have only been in love once!
