Cindy, over at Still His Girl, tagged me for a meme! I’m giddy ‘cuz I’m still a newbie blogger and I’ve never actually been tagged before. So, pardon my nerdy excitement.
The rules:
List one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. Write your own blog post containing your middle name facts. At the end, choose one person to tag for each letter of your middle name. Then leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged.”
I’d been thinking about doing this one since I saw it at Sincerely Anna’s. (How cute is she in that Rachel Ray pose?) And then, of course, Fried Okra put her inevitable brilliant spin on it. So the tag was just the gentle shove I needed to get to it.
My middle name is Faith. Growing up, no one else ever had that middle name, which I secretly loved. It meant a lot to me that my parents chose a “virtue” name for me, and also that no one else in my family had a virtue name. I felt special.
I always treasured 1 Cor. 13: 13:
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
- fun-loving. I’m the youngest of four girls; and although I was shy, I learned to ham it up in typical youngest child fashion. My husband, also the baby, brings out my silly side.
- artsy. I took to music right away as a young’un, and “taught” myself to play the piano. My mom was so impressed, she marched right out and signed me up for piano lessons, which I soaked up like a sponge. Later, I took up the violin, which I still play like the seasoned amateur that I am.
- introverted. I’ve come to realize late in life that I really do love you people, I just need you to leave me alone every now and then.
- talented. Fried Okra says I have the ability to make difficult tasks look effortless. Unfortunately, growing up, that talent translated into a lazy streak since many things came easily to me. I know, my life is hard; I’m a little high maintenance.
- humble. I’ve always been what you might call meek. But basically I just know when to shut up. I’m still cultivating true humility.
Since, I’m such a newbie, just about all of my bloggy friends have already done this one. But, bad mom, if you haven’t taken a stab at this one, I feel a list coming on. How about you, MamaLady? Emily, I’m waiting on you. Anyone else wanna share? Buehler, Buehler…
Wow, halfmoon girl has the same middle name! We have a kiddo with a virtue name for a middle name. It’s Integrity and that’s exactly what we have to work on in him every day. I really meant it to be something that would define him, not something extra I had to work on!
I did it! though mine is WAY more boring then yours.
Nice job!! I love the way you took the other thing that was going around, with the letters, and used it for this.
I love it, thanks for tagging me! And I picked you for another one - check out my a-lister blog
BTW, I adore the letter pics, and nicely done.
You totally win the prize for best middle name meme by using the letter photos! So cute. Good job, girlie! THAT would have made Ann more exciting, don’t you think?
Peeshaw! Thanks, girls. *blush*
Lady, I have a long middle name! This will take me a while to think something up. Thanks for the tag. Loved the letters and learning more about you.
