1.I love my Lord and Savior with every fiber of my being. I am continuously blown away and overwhelmed by this grace, mercy, and unconditional love that he so freely bestows upon me, such a “lowly thing of this world.”
2.My family (dad, mom, 2 brothers, 2 sisters {in-law}) are my world and my best friends. They are my biggest and best support group and I would be lost without them. The older and wiser I get, the more appreciative of them I become. Mess with them, and I will take you down. I’m just sayin’. ;)
3.I grew up fishing in the lake in my backyard, building forts(and helping set them on fire), climbing trees w/ rope swings, riding go carts/golf carts, jumping bales of hay, riding a 10 speed back and forth from each of my friends homes in my neighborhood everyday in the summertime, having swimming parties and cookouts in our backyard, playing ghost in the graveyard, having fish fries, Alabama football tailgate parties, camping out in the backyard or at a neighbor’s house, etc. My neighborhood was incredible thanks to Sunny, Megan, Ashton, Rodney, Mark, Lauren M, Lauren E, Ashlynn, Lindsey, Susie, Leslie, Bryan, the Brackins, the Owens, and everyone else that I have forgotten. I had an incredible childhood. The awesome thing is, I still do most of these activities. ;)
4.Through my dad's death, the Lord has brought me some of the most amazing new friends to love and help comfort me. I am most grateful for them! "You give and take away...my heart will choose to say, Lord Blessed be your name!"
5.I love all things outdoors, playing rockband, having great life chats with some of my best friends, watching movies, and people watching. I love people and I get the most pleasure from spending quality time with close friends and family -afterall, QT is one of my love languages.
6.I look forward to getting married and being a mom one day. I want at least 4 kids and would love to adopt, possibly from various countries. How amazing would it be to save a little girl from China, a little boy from Kazakhstan, and so forth? I think it’s just a little glimpse of what heaven will be like.
7.I am SO blessed with my job and those that I work with at DAXKO. Thank you, Lord, for your provisions!
8.I am colorblind, I hate shopping, I still sleep with a baby blanket every night, and I have lived in a total of 11 homes/apartments in less than 9 years(all between B’ham and Tuscaloosa), and I love, love, love food. It’s just how we show our love in the Crumpler family (and in Alabama!).
9.I spent my 21st birthday at Six Flags with some of my best friends and left shortly after to spend a summer in California, which turned out to be the best summer of my life!
10.My favorite artists/groups are Third Day, Casting Crowns, Rita Springer, and Natalie Grant. Their concerts are really worship services—so powerful and life changing!
11.My favorite restaurant in Birmingham is Surin.
12.Evidently I like change--I have had bleached blonde hair, bright red hair, jet black hair, horrible bangs, and a smurf haircut throughout my lifetime--most of this also happened when I had braces for 4 years. WOW.
13.I LOVE the bright colored bendy straws that you can get in a package for about $0.88 at Wal-Mart. I use a straw for everything!!! I know, it doesn’t take much to make me happy.
14.I’m officially addicted to caffeine and have no intention to break myself of this anytime soon. I can’t seem to find enough time to sleep, so I drink coffee and Spark by Advocare. Then, I can’t sleep because I’m so wired from the caffeine. It’s just a perpetual and never ending cycle. Again, I have no desire to make this better anytime soon.
15.I love to snow ski , although it has been a few years since my last trip. I’d love to go again, soon. Any takers??
16.I enjoy the small things in life and am learning to slow down and soak in each day because I’ve come to realize they pass all too quickly.
17.I cannot wait to get to Heaven- to spend Eternity with my Heavenly Dad and to see my dad, my brother Eric, Russ and Katie's first baby, and many dear friends again. Oh what a glorious day that will be!!
18.I have self diagnosed myself as having separation anxiety.
19.I LOVE music and love to dance. I will do it again someday. I’m just waiting for the right opportunity to present itself (one in which I can do for God’s glory).
20. I tend to only disclose “surface level” information; however, I’m ALWAYS listening, watching, discerning, and “taking things in” from others.
21.Two Pesos is my favorite Mexican restaurant and the owners all know me. I obviously frequent this restaurant too much because the last time I visited their new location, one of the workers said “I’m so sorry we don’t have a to-go menu for you just yet. I promise I can get you one next time you stop by! I’ll do it just for you!” You know you have a problem when...
22.I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. I love Jesus, I love my family, and I love people. Some days I have to fight the urge to sell everything, pack up, and just head to another country to love on people that don’t have families and the same “things” that I have. Because of that, I have a hard time dealing with the fact that I have to work in one place from 8-5 M-F. I feel like too much of my time has to be spent at work, not leaving enough for relationships. Ugh That fires me up so much. I keep reminding myself that my mission field is the office and it will continue to be until the Lord sends me elsewhere.
23.In college, I ate Taco Bell, Little Caesars, Dominos, TCBY, Smoothie King, Buffalo Phils, Crimson Café, City Café, 15th Street Diner, Chick-Fil-A, and a few other places every single week. I mean, I had frequent flyer cards to places that didn’t offer frequent flyer cards! I also kept brownies and rice krispy treats cooked up with southern sweet iced tea so that I would always have something good for anyone that came to visit. How in the world was I not obese? If I even look in the direction of one of those places right now, I gain 10 pounds. Seriously, why does our metabolism completely head for the hills after college?
24.One of my best friends (Hannah) and I wanted to be contestants on “Fear Factor: Best Friends” at one point in our lives. You never know with us, we might just show up on there one day!
25.Everything that’s good in me, is Jesus.
