Because this is the only type of tag I will play...

1) I once drank from a bottle of grape Dynatap (that stuff is magical)when I was a toddler and I'm convinced that's the reason I love anything grape flavored to this day.

2) I have a shoe fetish. When I was little, my two favorite pairs were my black tap-dancing shoes and my glittery red slippers.

3) Some day I want to ride down the Grand Canyon on a donkey, ride in a hot air balloon, and go sky-diving.

4) What I really want is to have 5 children (though I will be happy with however many I get!) and home school them.

5) I'm left-handed, but I bowl, bat, and throw footballs with my right hand.

6) C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors (y'all need to read "Mere Christianity" if you haven't already!)

7) My 3 best friends are my sisters

8) I once had a pet newt named Firebelly.

Deut 30: 11-16

11.For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.

12. It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?"

13.Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?"

14.But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

15.See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,

16.in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess."

YA'LL are wrong

Despite popular belief I have NOT forgotten any of you =(

I probably have a picture of everyone of you somewhere on my fridge or wall- some of you are covered in shaving cream (Eddie!), some of you are standing on stones in a creek (Daniel), some kneeling in front of a play house (Cam!) and others...

aaaand, I have class in three minutes, but I do miss you guys terribly.

Lots of love
