"Tagged"

I was "tagged" by one of my friends also waiting to adopt from Ethiopia, and now must share 10 interesting things about myself.

Here are the rules: You have to tag 5 people and you can't tag the person that tagged you. You leave them a comment on their blog letting them know you are tagging them and why. Also, direct them to your blog for instructions. It is also asked that you notify the tagger when you post your list so that they can enjoy reading the responses.

Here are the 10 somewhat interesting facts about me:

1. I met my husband, Sean, on a blind date. His sister had us over to her house for a spaghetti dinner. Spaghetti dinners have never been the same since.
   
2. Ciara and I were both born on full moons.
   
3. My favorite recent movie is The Bucket List.
   
4. One of the things on my Bucket List: ride on a hot air balloon (more than just 50-100 feet up which I have already done).
   
5. When I was little (around 3 years old), after learning the Bible story about Jesus walking on the water, I tried to walk on water in a fish tank at a Chinese restaurant. It didn't work.
   
6. My favorite TV shows are LOST, House, and The Closer.
7. Best Childhood Memories--Most Cherished--learning John 3:16 with my dad (he died when I was 5), Most Touching--remembering the way my grandma Virgina's face lit up when she saw me, Most Exciting--a sled ride on a piece of laminate counter top with my cousin, Christie (we went really fast and ended up ducking under a fallen tree and landed in a mud muddle that wasn't totally frozen over).
8. Worst Childhood Memory--a bicycle accident the summer before my 3rd grade year. One pedal went into my ankle and one of the handlebars went through my upper lip. The saga continued when some family members tried taking me down a paved road in the mountains in a wheelchair. I did master bowling on crutches that summer, though.
   
9. I first started wanting to adopt when I was somewhere between 9-12 and saw the Save the Children commercials. I told my mom then that I wanted to adopt instead of having children biologically.
   
10. God provided me with an awesome husband who started thinking about adoption before we even met. We knew we would build our family through adoption before we were ever married (not that we wouldn't rejoice if we had a child biologically).

Now, the lucky ducks who get tagged... John and/or Dottie, Dana, Becca, Christy, and Shelley.
