singinghope

I am a wife, lover, sister, daughter, friend, pursuer of Christ, and singer.

I want to be holy, debt-free, and to work in a position that directly helps people for God's glory.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio in a house that's perfect for me. I am quite a cook and baker, if I do say so myself. :) Love to cook anything, but my husband loves hearty, family-style meals...I prefer Lebanese. I can bake just about anything I put my mind to, and love to learn new ways.

A perfect evening alone would be blaring music, a bottle of wine, and cooking or baking into the wee hours of the morning.

Coffee -- strong and smooth, LOVE coffee from the Papua New Guinea region

Tea -- typically strong, but a sweet flavor, LOVE chai spices (nutmeg, cardamom)

Music -- vocal jazz, hymns, really into raw guitar sounds right now

Good friends -- I have a handful and they make life a little easier

Laughing, Laughing, Laughing

Wine -- pinot noirs are are the top of my list, but I do love a good port and moscato

Cookbooks -- but only with pictures

My siblings -- they're the best, smarter than you could imagine, and will make you laugh till there's no breath left in you!

My Puppies -- we have a Sharpei mix and a German short-haired Pointer/Black Lab mix...love those dogs

Coupons -- BIG time couponer -- I keep our grocery/household items budget waaaay down using coupons, and still buy namebrand everything. LOVE TO COUPON

Candles -- any kind, favorite scents are honeysuckle and mulberry/cranberry...I have a minimum of 12 burning at all times when I'm home...LOVE CANDLES

Blueberries, stupidity, and my time being wasted

We don't have a TV, but watch a few shows on hulu. Love Glee, Bones, and NCIS
