About Me

I am a 48 year old wife, mom, and college student.. I have 2 children ...a 22 yr old boy and a 12 yr old girl. I am in my third semester of nursing school. I love to travel, geocache, garden, camp, hike, scrapbook, read, cook, being with my family. I have also become very aware for the importance of good health and fitness. I began running with the C25k program and haven't looked back. I love running and have even completed a couple of 1/2 marathon's. I like meeting new people and learning about their lives.

Favorite Music

I really don't listen to much music, but if I do I like contemporary christian, bluegrass gospel, and old time hymns. I love nature sounds...crickets, thunderstorms, wind, rain, bubbling brook, ocean, etc.

Windchimes.

The sound of birds.

Favorite Books

Some of my favorite authors are Randy Alcorn, Ted Dekker, Tim LaHaye, Francine Rivers, Jan Karon, & Beth Moore. I also like to read newspapers and magazines. The magazines I like the most are Runner's World, Backpacker,Country Woman, Martha Stewart Living, Keepers at Home, .and most any healthy cooking, home, or gardening magazines. I like "how to"books like How to Make Cheese. I don't read any mystery, horror, or violent stories.

Comment: I never got the swap and received no communication. I checked your profile and you haven't been online since Oct. 12, so I'm thinking you have stopped doing anything. If you ever contact me or send the swap, I will re-rate.

Comment: Well my friend, this swap was supposed to be a postcard listing your bucket list, but instead you filled an envelope and explained each and gave a gift of each as a sampling. My bonus! I'm rating you with a 5 because you really did take time to complete, and read my profile too! Happy swapping Paula.

Comment: Thank you for your letter! I agree with you about the books of Esther and Ruth! I remember doing a Bible study about the book of Esther where we were supposed to read and answer questions daily, and I finished it early in the week because it was too interesting to stop! Blessings, Maggie

Comment: I received your journal last night and I was so excited to read it. I was just able to flip through it before my cats demanded attention. Thank you for the gum I love orbit and pick it up whenever I find it. I noted that one of the things that you fear is your children not knowing the love of God..that is my mothers fear as well she says that everyday at least 2 times a day so please don`t think that you are not alone. Have faith things will work out the way that God wants them to. Once again THANK YOU!!!!

Comment: Hello Paula, Thank you for the book you put together of music, verses, prayers and more. I have enjoyed it, reading through it already some 3-4 times since receiving it. I received it on June 7th. I can tell your book will be a companion of mine. I hope we have more opportunties to swap with one another in the future. Have a nice summer. Barb sleepingrover2010

A one? You haven't been swapping in awhile so please PM me that you are starting up again. I see you joined in my Thriftstore Find 23. It is an easy one to do.

ladydy5 on Jul 22, 2010:

Please remember ThriftStore Find. Send date is here.

Oh my! I saw how much you love the Anne series and had to suggest you read "Before Green Gables" by Budge Wilson. It is her interpretation of what Anne's life was like before she got to Green Gables. It was so moving and beautiful. You should definitely read it!
