If you really knew me....

You'd know that I am really short and have had to hem almost every pair of jeans I have ever owned.

You'd know that I sometimes brew coffee and bake desserts just to make my house smell good.

You'd know that making my bed every morning makes me feel ready for the day.

You'd know that I adore my husband and I miss him even when he is working. 

You'd know that I never watch movies and if you quote movie lines to me, I will just smile and laugh like I know what you are talking about.

You'd know that I am a home body, and I prefer to be snuggled up at night with my husband instead of going out.

If you really knew me...

You'd know that my sons are my world, and a dream come true.

You'd know that I LOVE to buy/wear new clothes...and that I never pay full price.

You'd know that I am really bad at calling back, emailing back, or texting back. 

You'd know that I love worship at church, and I love hearing my husband worshiping next to me.

You'd know that I have serious guilt anytime I leave my kids with a babysitter to spend time doing something for myself.

If you really knew me, you would also know that...

I'm emotional and I cry a lot...happy or sad.

I have blonde eyelashes...

and you probably know that you have never seen me without mascara on.

If you really knew me...

You'd know that I totally think of my self as "not cool" and sometimes wish I was more current.

You'd know that my Mom is my best friend.

You'd know that I am obsessed with water and I stress if I don't have any with me.

You'd know that I love to anonymously give gifts.

{shhhh don't tell}

If you really knew me...

You'd know how much I need words of affirmation.

You'd know that I love Jesus and I need to be better at spending quality time with Him.

And, if you really knew me, you would know that being a Mom has changed me, made me a better wife, and given me new meaning. 

I would love to get to know you better. Comment with a link to your blog if you do a post like this one!
