HAPPY EASTER!!!

Our Easter began early with me performing downtown at Christ Church and the rest of the family attending our home church, Ivy Creek. We all got back together for a wonderful lunch with friends and family.

Jason's new hobby

Since Christmas, Jason has started brewing beer. I was skeptical at first thinking... this seems like a lot of stuff, how much space will it take up, how much will it cost, and will he stick to it? Well, I'm happy to say that he really enjoys brewing. He has learned a lot about beers in the past few months and is becoming a beer connosoire. So far he has made four brews: a pale ale, an ESB, a porter, and a stout. Here are some pictures from his last "brew and bottling night."

Jason's Personality

And the results are in... we are the same. Well, sort of.

My Personality

"ISFJs are traditional, loyal, quiet and kind. They are very sensitive to other people's needs because they are very observant. They have rich inner thoughts and emotions. They value stability and cultural norms. They are very adept at giving attention to detail. They do not seek positions of authority."

My friend Bethany, an ESTJ, just took this test and shared it with me. I guess I agree with the results. There were several questions that I wasn't sure how to answer because it all depends on the day or the situation. I think that may be why I'm somewhat in the middle on several of these. I definitely agree with the results in regards to work though. Here's what another ISFJ person said:

"At work, ISFJs contribute loyal, sympathetic, consistent, and considerate service to others. They are know for their kindness and for their willingness to go to any length to help those in need. They take the practical needs of people into account when they do their work, and their strong follow-through skills allow them to carry out organizational goals. They do at least what is expected to them and oftentimes more, without attracting attention to themselves. They are painstaking and responsible with detail and routine, and feel it is important to have the right things in the right places at the right times."

These comments were encouraging especially after the workday that I had today. All I have to say is that I'm really looking forward to serving my new employees very soon; Joshua, Rachel, and Gentoo. It will be the hardest job ever, with no days off or sick leave, but very rewarding. BTW, I'm referring to being at stay-at-home mom next year in case any readers didn't know.

I'm hoping Jason will do the test in just a few minutes so we can see how we "match up." We did a similar personality test about three years ago and I think I was an ESFJ. I just went to look for the results but unfortunately I think I just threw them away when I was on a clean sweep in my nightstand. Oh, let me know if you take the test and what you are.
