Tag I'm it now who to Tag back!

Well I will start with this I was tagged by Stef so in being tagged I am supposed to tell you all 7 things you do not know about me.  The hard thing about this for me as that I share so much that I really had to think about things.  So here we go....

1.  I have had the same best friend for 18 years.  His name is Aaron and I feel very blessed that he is in my life.  I would do anything for him and vice versa.  This friendship has seen eachother through kids, divorces, and the loss of our loved ones.  He is my rock. 
2.  I went to 5 different highschools. 
3.  I also dropped out of high school my senior year....I then went back pregnant and graduated in 2002 as an honor student, wife, mother to Jessa, and pregnant for Jonathin.  I graduated from the regular public high school and was the 1st student they had that went and graduated with a child.
4.  When I was growing up I never wanted kids.  When anyone I went to school with before I had Jessa finds me or runs into me they can not believe I am a very HAPPY mother of four children.....and that I would love to find my soul mate and have another one! (Things change I love being a mom)
5.  I spent time in a foster care home when I was a teenager.  I still have contact with them to this day.  They became a very important part of my life.
6.  I love cooking for people!  I love having people over to my house for dinner. 
7.  I was a tomboy growing up....I would rather of worn baggy jeans, t-shirts, and ball caps than anything else.  I wanted to play football and did play every sport I could.  Now I love havin a reason to wear a dress and I am much more femine.  I do still love sports and playing them though!  LOL  Just very few days that I wear ball caps though I own a ton of them!
Alright I think that is all news to most of you?!  So I also have to tag other people....So here are the ones I tag

Well Christmas is just days away and I am going to go to Niles, MI and see spend time with a very important family that I met at Mott.  I am feeling lots of things about going there.  They have a grandson that was in the NICU there and I am excited to see him, but also aprehensive too. 
OK now I need to share my weekend.....So I went snowboarding on Saturday at a birthday party with the Heideman's.  So I thought sledding was not a good idea in my age.  Well let me tell you that snowboarding was an even worse idea, but the challenge was so much better!!!  I have a bruise on my upper leg that is very painful.  Do you think I can get a younger body for Christmas?  I just can not for the life of me give up the fact that I am not 14 anymore!!!  We had a great time I will post pics when I can on it. 
Also I got an amazing offer yesterday and after the ball is finished I am going to embark on a new thing that I am so excited about.  I guess I should start with the beginnning of this too.  Before I had Ethin I was considering going back to college.  I shared this with my pastor after Ethin was born.  After Ethin passed away I put it on a back burner.  However when God wants you to do something it will lay heavily on your heart so I am excited to say that I think I will be going back to school next fall.  I will be majoring in ministry and public speaking.  I would like if I can to minor in Social Work.  So my pastor knowing all of this offered me to volunteer and help at church with the services.  I am so excited and can not wait to begin this journey in my life and dive further into my church.  Now the other great thing abou this was I was thinking that maybe after 26 years at my church that it was time to go elsewhere.  I had been praying so much about this very difficult choice and now I know that I am where I need to be and am very thankful as I really did not want to leave.  I love my church and all the people in it.  I was reminded yesterday by my pastor that I am surrounded there by people who love me.  I really love them too!  So please be in prayer for me about this for me.  I am worried about it all little bit, but I know God will lead me to do whatever I need to do to help out. 
Counseling has been still just going.  Some times I am not sure if it is helping and other times I know that it is.  So I still go.  However I think that I am going to go on a retreat to a place for Bereaved parents and families.  I am so worried about so many things right now, but mostly that after the ball is done that I will actually grieve and that scares me.  I really am not sure if I have done this let alone if I want to do this. 
I guess that is all please just pray for all these kiddos and their families as they all have procedures coming up between now and the end of January:  Derrick, Logan, Andrew, Joradan.  
God Bless,
Jessica
