My sweet blog friends Cynthia and Christy both tagged me in sharing five things about myself. Nothing like a prompt to combat the writer’s block! Here are a few little known facts about me:
1. I met my husband on the Internet. I KNOW. Almost eight years of marriage and I still get red in the face when I talk about it. My parents had just moved to a new area, I was transferring home from FUS, and I thought it would be a fun thing to do since I didn’t know anyone. I had absolutely no intention of actually meeting anyone, but well…we all know how that turned out! God works in funny ways.
2. I love to bake. I can make a mean chocolate chip cookie, but I like to dabble in all things sweet. I once made a blueberry cheesecake for my dad, to which he asked, ” This is delicious…is this from the store?” If you know my dad, you know this is the highest form of flattery. 🙂
3. I am a dance school dropout. My mom started me when I was in kindergarten maybe? and I lasted only a few classes before I was totally over it. This probably explains why I have no rhythm and my dad calls me Elaine.
4. My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip…preferably the green kind.
5. I dream of having a library in my home someday. Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Disney movie growing up…I mean, the rolling ladder to get the books way up high? How cool is that?!
Oh prompts are wonderful for writers block! 😉 I too dreamed of having a big library a-la-Beauty and the Beast. I also wanted a blue dress that when I sat down to read a book it billowed out in a circle around me.
My favorite is mint chocolate chip too! 🙂
I love mint chocolate chip too! And my dream house has a library room, preferably with a window seat too. 😉
I am a dance school drop out too! I BEGGED my parents to take dance . . . two lessons in, I wanted to quit. I have no rhythm either!
Have you tried Junior Mint Ice Cream by Eddy's??? YUMMY!
wow, a 'beauty and the beast' style library would be AMAZING! with ladders attached like in the movie too, of course! 🙂
Met my hubby on the internet too! No shame though, so many people have. It's great 🙂
I LOVE that you met your husband online! That is awesome. I know about 5 couples that have met via internet. You're in good company ;).
Cheers. x.
That is awesome you guys met on the internet!!! Say it with PRIDE!! I was so fed up with the men in my area that I went to FUS as a 24-year-old. I didn't go to find a husband. But ended up finding him the first day there 🙂 But I shudder to think of alternatives that were lurking back in Maryland for me. Thank GOD I found him! And if I hadn't found him at FUS, you better believe, I would have been all over the internet!!
Ashley- would you be so kind as to send me your address? You can email me at [email protected]. I have something I would like to get in the mail to you.

I just found your blog and enjoy reading though your past post. I find it funny that I too met by husband on the internet, like to bake, love the green mint chocolate chip ice cream and always wanted the beauty and the Beast library in my house. 🙂
