And to finish off my duties, here are seven random things about me:
1. I hate snow and the cold.  I thought moving to Charleston, SC would keep me from the snow but evidently I was wrong :)
2. I love being a mother of 2 little boys and wouldn't even mind if all 4 of my children ended up being boys!  I love boys clothing and trucks and cars all over the house.  I was a tomboy as a child.  I'm actually scared to have a girl.
3. My favorite TV shows are Bones and NCIS.  I LOVE crime shows!  I enjoy talking to them while I am watching it because I can generally guess what is going to happen next.  I've seen too many of them.
4. A few bad things have happened to me in my life but I would not go back to change them because they have all made me into the person I am today.  I feel like it has made me more compassionate and caring.
5. I use to have so much freedom before kids and go to concerts and the beach all the time but I honestly don't miss it very much.  I love being a mother and everything that goes with it.  I feel like I am living out my purpose in life.
6. I eventually plan to have my own jewelry making business when my kids because school age.  I sold some jewelry before having kids but never got it off the ground because I was planning on having kids.
7. I have a list of places I want to see before I die and at the top of the list is Italy!  I'd be content if that was the only place I got to see off my list.  Most of my list is places with lots of history!
