TAG!

Wow! I was looking through some old e-mails and realized I had been tagged a month or so back and didn’t even know it. I know it’s late and probably lame but am going to post because its exciting for me to be tagged! So here you go Nasim. Sorry about the delay! But what’s a month, right? Plus, I have no news on as far as the adoption front goes!

5 things I’m passionate about:
1. God & Jesus
2. My best friend and husband David
3. Adoption
4. The great outdoors
5. Family & Friends


5 things I want to do before I die:
1. ADOPT- at least a couple of times –hopefully an older child but just getting this first one finalized and in our arms would be GREAT!
2. Go to Utah (Arches National Park)- it looks SO pretty
3. Go to Bora Bora and sleep out in a bungalow house- So it’s a WANT!
4. Do some kind of work with orphans- help people find out more about God/Jesus.
5. Go on several good hiking trips and spend lots of time outdoors!


5 things I say often:
1. Right/True (there interchangeable)
2. For peat sake!
3. What’s his/her bucket (not good w/names)
4. Yeah… (and then interject)
5. That’s great… (after something funny is said)

5 Random things:
1. I love organizing. I will organize an area until I am happy with it and then a few days or weeks later I will get tired of what I did and organize it again to try to make it look and work even better.
2. I can’t smell skunks. I have tried several times and have asked several people to let me know when they smell them so that I can try to smell them but I can’t smell them. We had lots of skunks on campus when I was in college and I was afraid one would spray me and I wouldn’t know!
3. I don’t own a cell phone. I HAVE owned one while in college but when I owned it I was always frustrated by how many times I was stuck with fees for dumb things (ie: an incoming text message from a friend that I never opened but got charged for ). The company also ended up signing me up for a two year contract instead of a one year and “couldn’t do anything about it”. So I decided after I was done with that contract I would never own a cell phone again. So far I have stuck with it!
4. I hate to complain or argue with people. I will every once in a while when I get too fed up with things- but to me it’s just not worth it. I would rather just go on with life and write it off as a bad experience. I hate wasting energy with things like that. I might mention a few things and see what happens- if it turns into too much of a commotion I will just drop it and give up! Plus a lot of times the person you want to get mad at isn’t even the one who has anything to do with it (ie: problems in a store- you want to get mad at the cashier b/c that’s the person who is right there but it should be a manager, owner, etc.)! I admire people who have the ability to “get what they want when they want it” for lack of a better term!
5. I hate rubbing sounds (the eraser on a chalk board, someone sanding something, someone rubbing their foot on carpet, etc.). I have no problem with nails scratching a chalkboard (not that it’s a favorite noise of mine or anything) but I get the creeps and HATE the noise when people erase chalkboards!
