25 Random Things About Me

I just did this for Facebook, and figured I might as well post it here too. I feel guilty when I go too long without blogging. I have no explanation for that.

1. When I found out that I was moving to Nashville in 1998, I cried. Now you would have to drag me away kicking and screaming.
2. I never thought it would be possible to love four people as much as I love my family.
3. I'm going to India next month. I'm hoping India and Pakistan can sort of chill in the meantime.
4. Traveling internationally is one of my passions. I've been to more foreign countries than American states. I think Thailand is the farthest, depending on which way you go.
5. In once ran from security at the Louvre after accidentally taking a flash picture of the Mona Lisa. I'm pretty sure they weren't chasing me.
6. I sing alto.
7. I'm a big fan of Lost. But I still think Alias was J.J.'s masterpiece.
8. I love homeschooling and am thankful every day for the opportunity to do so.
9. I really dig John Denver, even though most of his lyrics make no apparent sense.
10. I still claim Harrison Ford as my favorite actor, but I seriously enjoy Will Smith.
11. I spent three summers in college working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
12. I had to wear a dosimeter to keep track of my radiation levels. Thankfully, it was never necessary to check.
13. In high school, I didn't care so much about having close girlfriends until it was almost time to graduate. I am SO blessed to have them now.
14. Having a daughter has made me wish I could go back and do some things differently, but I know that each experience led me to who I am now.
15. I'm so thankful for grace.
16. I love Jesus. He loved me first.
17. Cocoa Puffs is my favorite cereal.
18. I know how to sew, but my machine has been in the attic since I had kids.
19. I'm a huge college football fan.
20. I equally cheer for Tennessee and Alabama, even though some say that makes me not a true fan of either. I seriously love them both.
21. I have no athletic ability.
22. I edit depositions for a living and am blessed with two incredibly talented court reporters to work for.
23. I can't stop myself from proofreading anything I read. It's a sickness. I seriously hope there are no spelling errors in my list.
24. In 8th grade I became obsessed with Gone With the Wind. I read it twice and watched the movie about 20 times.
25. Paula Abdul has hugged two of my children.

Ummm... hello?! How about you are busy raising and home-schooling 3 kids!!! Not to mention cleaning house and cooking dinner. And then there is that loving your husband thing too. Don't be too hard on yourself!

However, I do check your blog EVERY day to see if you've blogged recently since I love reading it so much... no pressure though. :-)

Yes, several of my dear friends pointed that out on Facebook. A little forced humility isn't a bad thing, I guess!
