  2. I'm married to Aaron Dinsdale
  3. I thought i would have my life figured out by 25 and have most of the answers
  4. I thought adult life would be easy and fun, i was wrong!
  5. However i know that this system is hard because Satan wont make it easy for those being obedient to Jehovah and i know no matter what happens i have him. So everything will be ok
  6. Marriage is refining me.
  7. Its a good thing being refined, i always ask to be refined, i admit i didn't think i had so much more to come.. i must have allot of rough edges!
  8. I'm most looking forward to having the rulers of this world and the people that deny Jehovah, beat themselves in grief at their hardheartedness when on his "Great and Fear Inspiring Day" the whole world know that he is the sovereign of the universe.
  9. I'm looking forward to getting older but not old.
  10. I think 40 will be a good age, i hope to have achieved some personal goals by 40.
  11. It scares me that its only10 years away..lol I've got to get a move on.
  12. I need to make more lists and be more focused.
  13. I love my dogs, I never thought i could be a animal person
  14. Animals and small children don't take to me, I'm not sure why.
  15. I think I'm a nice person, but I'm not sure as the animal and children thing gives me doubts.
  16. Pioneering has always been my goal and i think I'm about to accomplish it, I never want to stop pioneering, its as necessary as breathing for me.
  17. I have always wanted to be a missionary.

  40. I think its sad that we no longer learn how to be wife's and mothers from our own mothers.
  41. I think i was born in the wrong era, why don't we have dance halls were you can have tea and scones, a young man would ask you to dance and there were social proprieties that were expected and followed, women were feminine and men were men.

  54. I want to be a professional dancer. (don't laugh)

  58. I'm fortunate to have found my soul mate, the other person that completes me.

  68. However i can be spontaneous and love just taking off to do something that takes my fancy.
  69. I want to learn to drive so badly but part of me isn't sure that it will happen because people have told me they cant see me driving and don't think i would be a good driver.
  70. It makes me mad that i allow people to dictate who i am. I have learned to listen to me and have confidence in myself.
  71. I have a love of architecture, it is my dream to build my own home.
  72. I can be argumentative for the sake of arguing even when I'm wrong, but i hate fighting.
  73. I love my family, and have a very motherly protective attitude toward my sisters, watching them grow up and make their own choices (mistakes) was one of the hardest things I've had to do.
