30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 1 (Intro, Recent Picture, Interesting Facts)

I thought it would be fun to join Katie in her 30-Day Blog Challenge.  During the next 30 days, all participating bloggers will link up their responses to a particular blog directive.  This is a fun and great way to meet other bloggers!

Day 1: Introductions, Recent Picture & Interesting Facts

Hello!  Thank you for visiting my blog!  My name is Barbie and I live in California with my husband of 22 years and our four children, ages 19, 16, 10 and 7.  I work full time for the Senior Pastor and Children's Pastor at my church and love my job.  My entire family is involved in ministry and we love ministering in our House of Prayer through worship and prayer.  I started blogging in June of 2009 and am so thankful that I did.  I have met some fabulous women on this journey!  I hope you will visit me again soon!

Now for some interesting acts about me:

1. Jesus is everything to me.
2. My favorite color is purple.
3. I am highly addicted to coffee!
4. I love chocolate, although it doesn't love me.
5. I type about 85wpm.
6. I can still take shorthand at about 35wpm (comes in handy sometimes).
7. I don't like to bake.
8. I love to cook though.  I only wish I had more time for it.
9. I am a "coupon clipping wannabee". I just don't see how someone can save so much money with coupons.  Please tell me your secrets.
10. I wish I had learned to sew.
11. I would love to learn to play the piano.
12. I love to paint.
13. I have never broken a bone.
14. My husband and I got engaged after knowing each other for just 8 weeks.
15. I dream of writing a devotional book one day.
