Top Ten Tuesday’s host, Amanda, did this a week or so ago, and I thought it was a fun idea to swipe.

1. ONE
The number of husbands I’ve had. I’ve kept the same one for 20 years and counting, which sadly, isn’t as common as it used to be. As he says, it’s an investment we’re not willing to throw away, even when things get tough. Marriage is such a mountain-and-valley experience, but walking through the valleys together makes the next mountaintop experience all the richer.
2. TWO
I have two wonderful, amazing, beautiful sisters that I thank God for every day. Funny how much we battled each other growing up. We’re very different people, with very different lives, but we love being together just the same.
3. THREE
My Three Sons, of course! Three boys for me — who’d have ever thunk it? Amazing blessings, each one of them.
4. FOUR
My four favorite holidays, in order: Christmas, Easter, Halloween, July 4th
5. FIVE
My five favorite TV shows, in no particular order: Chopped, Survivor, American Idol, Supernanny, My Fair Wedding
6. SIX
How old I was when this picture was taken:
(As my old high school Spanish teacher, Senor Raper used to say, I had “shifty ojos”! LOL)
7. SEVEN
The number of years between my youngest and next-oldest child.
8. EIGHT
My favorite card game when I was a kid: Crazy Eights. Makes me want to whip out a deck of cards and play a round or two with the kids.
9. NINE
How many homes I’ve lived in since I’ve been married. (Frequent moves during the 1990’s courtesy of the United States Navy.)
10. TEN
The number of flimsy, breakable, puny fingernails I have, that only grow nice and strong when I’m pregnant.
