Okay, I know that I was tagged by Brooke well over two weeks ago to write this blog and I’m just now doing it. I’ll try to get better at writing more often.

The object here is to write about 10 random or significant things that happened in my life. Hope you enjoy!

1. When I was young I entered a costume contest with my little sister. I was Rainbow Brite and she was a Sprite. My mom made our costumes and I think we were the best even though we didn’t win.
2. The day before I started kindergarten I was so excited that I wanted to practice running out to the bus stop. My mom called out, “Here comes the school bus!” and I ran out the door (with my then 3 year old sister who wanted to go to school too), and ran to our tree house in the front yard (which I pretended was the bus), then tripped and fell up the steps and skinned both my knees.
3. I was in Girl Scouts from the time I was in kindergarten til around 4th grade. I loved it. One year I sold so many boxes of cookies that I won a free trip to Girl Scout camp.
4. I was in the school band from 5th grade to 12th grade. I played flute and still do, just not as well as I used to.
5. Until recently I’ve always had a pet or some animals to take care of. My family always had a dog, but we also at different times had a cat, rabbits, pet goats, ducks, chickens, fish, and turtles. At some point I had to help in feeding them and I even used to gather eggs. I was a little afraid of the chickens, though.
6. When I was in high school I dyed my hair completely purple on one occasion and completely blue on another. Over the last couple years I’ve gone partially pink. I miss my pink stripe now.
7. My favorite part of being in the church youth group was youth choir. We did a musical every year and traveled around singing at different churches and staying in the the church buildings or with local church members and going to the beach. It was so much fun and I loved it. I wish I could still be in youth choir, but I think I’m too old now.
8. I won a scholarship to go to Berry College as a vocal performance major but later decided it wasn’t for me. I’ve been on a long break ever since.
9. I met Chris while visiting First Baptist Church and a week after meeting him, I went with him to a Christian event in Savannah. On the way home he told he had bad luck with girls named Amanda, but I told him “Don’t worry. I don’t plan on ever dating you, so we shouldn’t have any problems.”
10. About 3 months later I told Chris that I thought God was telling me he was the one I was to marry. I think it scared him a little at first, but we started dating a few months after that and married on June 10, 2006!

I hope you found this interesting. And now I think I would like to tag Chris and El Ben to blog on the same subject.
