A Meme for Me!!!

Whoa, it's been a long time since I've been tagged for a meme--thanks Jen at joythruChrist!

Jen's tag comes at a really good time cause I could use a fun diversion after spending a solid 3 1/2 hrs. this morning working on one of my NANC exam theology questions--"Compare and contrast the Bible and its authority to general revelation and its authority." in at least one to one and a half pages, double-spaced. :-)

Here goes!

What was I doing 10 years ago?

Oh, that's easy to remember cause it is one of those chronological 'pegs' I often hang my hat on when reflecting on my life. We were in the process of moving here after enjoying 3 1/2 years serving a small Bible church in rural Oklahoma. It was a bittersweet time since we desperately wanted to remain there but our small congregation (only about 5 yrs. old) was no longer able to support even a part-time pastor, and secular jobs in the area had no need of my husband's computer and programming skills/experience.

Five of My Bad Habits (only five????) :

1) staying up too late to read (I get my 'second-wind' around 10 or 10:30)

3) waiting till Sunday night to draw up the coming week's school schedule for our daughters
4) waiting to do the laundry until everyone in the family is down to their last pair of underwear

Five Random Things (most people wouldn't know about me):

1) I've witnessed three bank robberies while working at the same bank in Dallas
2) I was a rabid Mike Warnke fan--even had my pic. taken with him at the 1988 Christian Bookseller's Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
3) I've known countless FBI agents on a first-name basis (all related to my former fraud detection and prevention work at the bank)
4) My not-so-secret 'dream' is to own a classic Mustang before I die--candy apple red convertible, please! (BTW, I don't see it happening anytime soon!)
5) I'm not a 'risk-taker', but after going to Russia TWICE in order to adopt our daughters, living there for four weeks, bringing home and raising two 'older' foreign-born children (who know NO English), pretty much everything else is 'peanuts' in my books! :-)
