- I love to learn new things.
- I have struggled with health issues for over five years, and the Lord has broken a lot of 'me' during it.
- I used to think leading bible studies or writing a book was where ITs at.

- I LOVE my quiet time with God
- In storage, I have boxes of old quiet time journals
- I love to throw things away!

- Favorite snack is Doritos and Frito Lay Jalapeno Dip...or maybe Oreos, dunked in milk, whole cookie in mouth...okay this is not good for the diet!

- I love the beach, really, really love the beach. (Many family vacations on Lake Michigan)
- I want twin girls really badly!
- I spend every single sunny day in the summer by the pool with the kids. (has to be sunny or I won't go out!)

Oh Michelle...if you like Lake Michigan you have to come visit me here in Sunny Florida. You would LOVE our beach it's beautiful!! Tell me more about Black Currant Tea...
Michelle, I loved learning more about you! Thanks for taking the 25-things challenge! After reading how long you have been pregnant or breastfeeding, I sat down and figured mine out. I figure I have been pregnant or breast feeding for at least 18 years of my life!! Wow -- it is quite shocking when you look at it that way! But, that's because I have "four and a half dozen" children! ;)
BTW, I am not ignoring your emails to me! I will eventually get around to responding! ;) It has been on my "To Do List" for several days now!
Hey,Michelle,haven't heard from you in a while. Hope I have not said anything that offended.
Wow! So nice to learn more about you. I can relate with the Lake Michigan beach! I have lots of great memories of times on the beach (grew up there until 18 yo.). Then I lived near the beach in FL for 20 years. Lots of beach time there, too!
You do encourage me with your insightful writing. Don't worry about that book, what you do here it great! :-)
Blessings,
Gloria
Your number 1 is fantastic!! I've been breastfeeding for about 7 of the eight years I've been married. A lot of that has been tandem nursing because the older child isn't quite ready to be done when the new one arrives!
The only thing I miss is a non-nursing pretty bra! Small trade-off though!
Gombojav, I have been recently blessed to be able to buy two 'pretty non-nursing' bras! Yeah! It is dark purple with no breastmilk stains. Though as soon as I say this I am feeling very sad because of being done nursing :( I love being pregnant and nursing!
We are believing that the healing plan my Dr. has me on will strengthen and heal me, we so desire more children! Currently, my prayer is for twin girls. Actually, that has been my prayer for a long time!
I breastfed my last two to 4 1/2 years each. I had a ultra sound on them once and the lady said they didn't look like they were lactating. But I did feed her for her to sleep. It has made me question my claim!
The other two were 14 months and the other one 6 months.
