7 random things about myself

I have been tagged to tell 7 things about myself. I'm not sure I can think of anything to say but here goes:

1. I recently got my Insurance License so I can start working in our new office and help my husband by being his secretary. Scary! I didn't think my little ole brain could handle all the info to pass the class. But I did it. And now I am back to work. Yeah for me!

2. Our last child was born at home with a midwife. We loved every minute of it and if we ever had to do it again we would surely do a homebirth. It was nice being in our own comfort zone and not worrying about leaving the kids or waking anyone else up to have to go to a hospital. That was the best choice we ever made!

3. I have an amazing husband that although our parents had known each other for many years, we never really new each other personally until a fluke thing of me hiring his mother to cater some food for my parents 25th anniversary, and while doing so he called home from college in Florida to talk to his mother and she proceeded to put me on the phone to say hi. It was all over from there. We went on our first date in August of 1989 to a local campmeeting in Ohio. We talked on the phone, and as Rod says I wrote him books for letters while he was in Florida at college and at Christmas he asked me to marry him . We were married in April 1990. So a short and sweet dating and engagement for us.

4. I have been through 2 house fires. One when I was in 6th grade when my parents house burnt. Thankfully I was at a friends an my parents were at work. But my dad came home to it. And the second was Rod & I's house in 1994. Rod was able to rescue Britt to get her out of the house and our dog. Although we lost our whole house and most of our belongings we learned that life is more precious than any valuables you can own.

5. In high school I was a school mascot for 2 football games my senior year. I had to dress up in Indian garb and paint my face and run around and get the spirit up. And cheer with the cheerleaders.

6. After my parents house burnt , roller skating was the big thing. I started rollerskating every weekend. I became a really good skater and took art lessons to learn how to dance the waltz etc on skates. I also learned how to do jumps such as axles, sowcows,and all those wonderful jumps ice skaters can do. I actually was in a few competitions, but never placed anywhere.

7. I am an only child and spoiled rotten by my parents. And to this day I would have to say they still spoil me with nice gifts at christmas. I love my parents very much!
