I won!!

The "hot seat"...that's what.

Rachel over at Counting My Blessings nominated me to take the hot seat and here are the rules:

1) Post the above picture to your post
2) Share 5 things about yourself (silly, inspiring, super honest)
3) Nominate another blogger friend.

1. The older I get, the more organized I become. I have never been a TOTAL slob, but I have the tendency to make piles and leave things to organize later....since becoming a teacher (and not having a moment to spare) I have realized that I MUST put things away after I use them in order to make it through the day without a huge mess!

2. I want to adopt one day. Since middle school I have had a heart for children in Africa and hope to bring one home someday to join my family.

3. I am extremely outgoing, but am beginning to think that I am more of an introvert than others might guess. I enjoy alone time and feel re energized after being alone for good periods of time.

4. I am extremely modest. Again, my extremely outgoing personality might make people think that because I am so open in conversation that I might be more able to talk about things that are personal....not so much. That surprises a lot of people.

5. I have been given the gift of an incredible family. I have tons of cousins, and have a large Irish Catholic clan, if you will. My summers as a child were spent with them in New England and I cherish those memories and relationships dearly.

Now....I tag....Anne at Gaskill's Rascals!
