25 Random Things

I'm joining the blog-wagon and sharing 25 random things with you as requested by a blogger I follow, I BELIEVE it will be fun!

1. I really don't think there's much about me or my life that is "random!" I 'schedule' everything and often need to say my schedule out loud just to hear it myself. (yes, Ryan pretends to listen)
2. I've attended all 3 State Universities...and have degrees from 2 of them.
3. When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, the only answer I ever gave was "a Mom!"
4. I love everything Amish!
5. I brain-washed the kids into loving Little House on the Prairie so I could watch it with them.
6. I sometimes pretend I'm on cooking show while fixing supper!
7. Secretly (or not) want to take photography lessons.
8. Always write 'To Do' lists and LOVE the feeling of crossing things off...I'll even add things to my list that I have completed, but weren't on my list, just to cross them off!
9. Loved being pregnant & in labor (however, there will be no more little Luikens)
10. I have seen a 'ghost' or angel as I prefer...several times, same one.
11. almost have a panic attack if towels are put away messily in kitchen drawers or bathroom cabinets.
12. Enjoy decorating and used to dream of being an interior decorator.
13. Love to organize!
14. Need & want to make time to read the Bible more.
15. Worry waaaaay too much!
16. Love, love the feeling of an empty laundry basket.
17. Love to watch people fall or be scared! (I know, it's a sickness!)
18. Am petrified of mice, baby goldfish-like fish and baby (newborn) kitties (ick!)... but LOVE to scare Ryan with snakes!
19. Got engaged to Ryan after knowing him only 5 weeks! I'd never even seen him before!! (Now don't go and try that on us, Drue Kathleen! No-way!)
20. I think the kids have grown up way too quickly!
21. I always wear slippers.
22. Feel so fortunate to be able to have stayed home with our Monkeys!
23. I really wish I could help Ryan farm and raise our cattle, drive equipment & all ...when the kids are both in school...Just like Grandma. I'm not even sure Ry knows this!
24. I melt when I hear Drue & Lane say, "Momma, I love you forever, for always, no matter what! Ubba!" (Ubba is our translation for Love ya! It's how Drue said it when she was tiny and it has stuck, Grandmas & Grandpas, Aunts & Uncles use it, too. Ryan and I even say it to eachother!)
25. I still rock both kids to sleep EVERY night...and will until they don't let me any longer!
