Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

(I hope there are) .... 7 True Things about Me

I've never been tagged before or done one of the meme things (which I don't quite get how to pronounce), so I thought I'd give it a try.   Warning, though:  I'm really a geek, so this could get ugly and boring. Feel free to stop reading. [Note:  this is my second time writing this.  The first time, I did a search for something and forgot to save what I'd typed so ---grrr---- it all went away.  I'm hoping this second time around I'll think of more interesting things]

1.  On our first or second date, I told DH that I wanted to have 3 children some day, all boys.  Amazingly, that didn't scare him off, and he came back for a second date.

2.  Speaking of our first date, not only did I go out with DH on the first date, but also his two sisters!   They were driving back home for Christmas and were stopping through the town DH was staying in, so after our dinner-date, DH and I met them at a Ground Round for a beer.  His sisters were a blast and I loved the stories about all of them growing up.  I don't recall doing much talking during that part of our date, but I sure did laugh.

3.  In my B.K. life (before kids), I was a speech language pathologist.  I loved working in hospitals and out-patient.  My favorite things to do were videofluoroscopic  (videotaped moving xrays) swallow evaluations (for dysphagia, disorders of the swallowing mechanisms) and language testing (I love administering tests and analyzing the data) [See, I told you I was a geek.]

4.  DH and I got married in Purgatory. Really, I kid you not.

I feel I'm getting desperate here.....

5.  Since graduting from high school, I've never lived in any one home longer than 3 years (no, I'm not in the witness protection program, and we're not military).

6.  I'm still friends with Julia, my best friend from 3rd grade!

7.  I was an undergraduate history major, but have learned more history in homeschooling than I did at my alma mater (which is a top ranking U.S. News & World Report undergraduate program year after year).

Phew, I did it, and I spared you the boring facts of my adolescences.  Now, if you've read this, you are IT, and consider yourself tagged.

I didn't think it was boring at all!

How funny that you got married in Purgatory. It looks beautiful though. There is a state park here named "Purgatory Chasm". It is actually a beautiful place and we love to go there, but I joke that Purgatory Chasm is just a nice way of naming it a real "H*ll hole" LOL

Hope you had fun!

I liked your 7 things! I want to go and re-do mine! I have been learning more in science with my son than ever. I had pulmonary math and physics when in college and I am learning more with his little inquisitive mind than ever! Go Figure!

Just wanted to stop by and let you know I got your tag and your comments! Thanks!

About Me

We are a Christian family educating our 3 boys: Hugs (8), Smiley (5), and Giggles (2). We've chosen to use mostly classical homeschooling methods, though this could change as the Lord leads us. I've started this blog because I have wanted to journal about our homeschooling experience, and life in general, but it is nearly impossible to sit with paper and pen. So, I'll write about where the Lord is leading our homeschool, how we're doing with it, and other bits about life with 3 boys. (Yes, I realize that my boys will hate their online monikers in a few more years!)
