25 Random Things

1. I have always known that I wanted to work with children. I thought seriously about being a pediatrician for awhile but knew that teaching was truly my calling.

2. I am not afraid to run away from trains when my car is stuck on the rails. (That's only beginning to be funny to me now. LOL!)

4. I loved living in Germany but missed my family and friends terribly.

5. I love the color yellow. I can't wear it but I love it.

6. I have always wanted to be a mother.

7. I would love to learn how to run but I can't seem to get the breathing thing down. I tend to hold my breath when I run. Not a good thing.

8. I think of my twin angels every day and I wish it didn't make people uncomfortable when they come up in conversation.

9. I love naps!

12. I WILL NOT wear socks to bed...even if it's freezing.

20. Hi, my name is Stacy and I am a recovering control freak. However, God never tires of reminding me that He is in control (ex. train) I hope I learn how to let him do this soon so maybe I won't have to have so much remediation on this particular topic!

21. I think my Pop is one of the most fascinating people. Barbara Walters should really interview him.

22. I get to work every day with some of my best friends.
