Any of you who have met me since college probably had no idea that I was absolutely and without questions SHY as a child. Who would have thought that I would end up leading VBS music and teaching a class at a church where I have only attended 9 months and only know about 20 people by name! I guess shy really does not apply to me anymore. So, in honor of that, I have added a silly picture, showing my personality in a different light!

- I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

changes...
I finally put a picture on my "profile" today. I was looking through random shots that are saved on the computer and came across this one. It made me sit back for a minute and (after laughing at my ridiculousness) think some deep thoughts. How random is that? Deep thoughts because of a silly picture? It has been amusing me recently to realize that I am actually outgoing. When I was 7, I was downright shy. When I was in middle school, I came out of my shell a little, but since I was a homeschooler, I was rarely in crowds, especially crowds my own age. In highschool I was pretty quiet. As a freshman in college, I was sooooo nervous in speech class that I thought I might pass out. Then suddenly, with no apparent trigger, I became truly comfortable with myself. I think it was because when I was in college I saw a lot of people that I did not want to be, and that me more comfortable with who I was.

I think you actually helped me break free(a little) from my shyness. I still can be shy, but not as much as I was back then. I am thankful for you Bethany. I know I don't tell you that near enough, but I love you and are glad we met and became friends.
I thought that picture was of Andy at first!
I don't know how I feel about that profile pic it is kind of throwing me off or something :)
I love that picture... it's crazy! By the way, i have never thought you were shy ;-) you have always been so sweet, talkative and friendly.. and i love that about you!

Hey Bethy,
I love the profile pic, it reminds me of every time that we try to take a funny sister picture and you always just end up laughing. I am proud to see you making your own original silly face. On the part about you being shy I think that I took much the same rout, i followed my big sisters footsteps. I love you Bethy and enjoy reading your blogs sooooo much!!!!!
