Bob tagged me
10 years ago: I was a freshman at Geneva College, loving the fact that you can start fresh when you start college, leaving all that highschool baggage behind you. My roommate, Erin Mollenkof Bindewald, and I had tons of fun hanging out doing crazy stuff like karoke at midnight. (our suitemates didn't like that so much). And now Erin and I are pregnant together, she's due 10 days before me with her first, and hers is a girl too!
5 years ago: Bob and I were living with the Crosses awaiting the cooler weather as it was so hot in our living room with no AC that we lived in our bedroom for the summer. I was working for EDB (Esperanza del Barrio) learning a lot about cross-cultural ministry and how hard it was to truly communicate in Spanish on a daily basis. But also I was really enjoying my job, especially since I was working with Sarah B. every day.
1 year ago: We were still getting used to life as parents with our newborn baby boy. About this time my sister Liz just left and so we were out on our own to discover our new life with baby. I remember being in a sleep fog and wondering if it would ever lift. 3 months isn't all that long, but man when you're in it, it seems like an eternity. If you told me this time last year that I'd be a little over 2 months from my due date with our little girl, I would have laughed, and literally never believed you. Isn't it good that God doesn't tell us EVERYTHING that's going to happen? We just wouldn't be able to handle it.
Yesterday: Hmmm.....my short term memory must not be as good as my long term. Oh yeah, Caleb and I went to Linda's Fruit stand and scored a huge deal on spaghetti squash. Its usually 99 cents per pound and 4-5 pounds each. Well Linda's had it for 79 cents EACH, not per pound. I bought their 4 biggest ones and saved about 14 bucks. I know, I rock! I'm going to make my first "preparing for baby" food with them. Then we went to wally picking up diapers and food stuff. In the evening I went to my friend Julie's house for a Usborne book party. It was fun to look at the books, and there were some good ones that I'd like, but we are currently on a spending freeze so we won't be buying any. Though I'm considering having a book party here, they really are cool books. Anyone interested or know anything about Usborne books?
5 snacks I enjoy: Uhh this is hard because on my diet snacks are my hardest food. So let me change this to snacks I eat and most of the time like: apples, peaches, peanut butter on the spoon with a glass of milk, yogurt and blueberries, hard boiled egg.
5 songs I know all of the words to: Lots and lots of David Wilcox songs, though its been a while, Come Thou Fount, All for Jesus (stole those two from Bob's list, but I know them too), Sweetly sings the donkey (HATE that song!!), lots of praise songs.
5 things I'd do with 100 million dollars: Pay off all debts, get a bigger house to hold more kids and more easily have people over (house guests too), have someone clean for me every 2 weeks for the rest of my life, plan for future (kid's college, retirement, etc), help family, tithe, pay for our churches building program, and give lots and lots away. Ok that's more than 5, but man I'm a DREAMER, I can't help it!
5 places I'd run away to: Lake Bomoseen VT, the mountains, Italy, a huge cabin with all our friends for a couple of weeks, home.
5 things I'd never wear: I so agree with you all on NO fanny pack (I've given Bob a hard time for wearing one in the past, now his fanny pack days are over I believe), a bikini (at least in public), a banana clip (remember those?), flip flops (they hurt my feet), gobs of jewelry all at one time (you know like Mr. T).
5 favorite TV shows: Baby story, Decorating cents, Crafters Coast to Coast, Wheel of fortune (though not so much any more), Alias.
5 biggest joys: life in Jesus, my wonderful husband and life with him, feeding Caleb his bottle while feeling baby girl kick (its like interacting with the both of them already), watching Caleb and Bob play together, naps, good time with friends just talking.
5 favorite toys: bread maker, all things crafty, things to play music on (radio, stereo, guitar), internet (blogs etc), my car.
5 people I want to pass this on to: Lynn, Laini, Rebecca, Steve, My mom, my sisters.
