30 day Challenge - Day Uno

So I snagged this idea from Jessie's blog.  I think it's kind of a cool way to respond to get-to-know-you type questions.  Originally, the challenge was supposed to start on 10-10-10.  Obviously, I didn't start then, because I just read about the challenge.  So since today is Wednesday, October 20 (only 10 days late!   oohh.  those words just made me think of being pregnant with my son), if I do this every day for thirty days like I am supposed to, I will wrap up this challenge on Thursday, November 18.  I am going to participate and post separately along with my regular every day posts.  For your reading pleasure.  Because I am nice like that. 

Go ahead and link your day one to the bottom of this post, so I can follow you on your challenge!

Here's the deal:

DAY ONE
Introduce, recent picture,  15 facts.

Well, this may be redundant because I have been blogging for a bit now and I pretty much talk about myself a lot, but my name is Jessica.  My friends call me Jessee or Jess, and my husband calls me Hon. I have four kids ranging wildly in age, which was not the original plan.  Kara is 21 and wrapping up her senior year in college, Alex is 13 and in the eighth grade, Megan is 9 and in fourth grade, and Brooke, the baby, is 5 and just started Kindergarten.  I am a stay-at-home-mom, and I love to take care of my family.

Here is the most recent picture that I have of myself, taken in the car by my husband just last Saturday on a freezing cold day, getting ready to watch a bunch of games for our school's Homecoming weekend:
