7 things you may not know about me!....You have been tagged!



Hmm...

1. When I was 2 yrs old and my brother was a few weeks old, my mom left us in the car with it running while she ran in to get milk at the Amish neighbors house.... Well, I got out of my seat (and this is in the OLD days when cars had no safety measures like they do now!) , put the car in drive and....away we went!! mom screamed but was frozen to the spot at the window, the amish heard her scream, ran out and stopped the car JUST as we pushed through the fence around the manure pit, one wheel hanging over the edge of the pit! I distinctly remember being paddled by both mom AND dad! :(

2. I have one brother and two sisters. I played with my brother more then I did my sisters. ur favorite thing to do.....go out in the shop and either explore dark corners or whatever came to mind that day! We had to take a bath EVERYDAY as we were covered in grease from head to toe! Maybe that is why I am a "grease monkey" LOL!

3. Before I was allowed to get my license my dad made me learn how to change a tire, change oil, do a maintenance check, and DRIVE a 5 SPEED! wow! Talk about a hair raising experience there! :) He had an old 1982 F150 that I learned on and ...well, lets say it was not the nicest shifting vehicle! But I was determined to master it so I could get my license, and I did!! Even made it starting off on the 772 hill at 23 in Leola! (It is a steep hill, even automatics coast backward on that hill)

4. I want more then one baby and struggle with why God lets everyone else get pregnant but me! ???!! But I am learning that all things work together for good to those that love Him....in HIS time, not mine.... :(

5. I tore my ligament, broke my knee cap and chipped other bones and ruined the cartiledge in my knee all from a game of softball! I was 11 years old then.... Then when I was 18 I injured it again playing volleyball. I then had knee suregery done and it has since been a LOT less painful!! Still bugs me in the cold and when I try running etc...

6. I HATED school but loved the school work??!! Huh?? Yeah, I know I am weird! So when I became a teacher it was great! I got to go to school and try to like it this time! LOL I taught for 3 years..

7. I went on a missionary trip to Guatemala a few months before my wedding and almost did not come home! I so wanted to stay! Loved it!
