7 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME

I got tagged by Land of Loving to tell 7 things about myself. So here goes...

1.) Growing up in a small town in Iowa I was active in 4-H. I showed a holstien cow named Elvira (after the song by the Oak Ridge boys), a steer named J.R. (after the show Dallas) and three sheep named Barbara, Irlene and Louise (after the show the Mandrell sisters) at the county fair. I won a trophy for Jr. Showmanship with my steer.

2.) The first time I got on an airplane was when I was 20 years old, I flew to Michigan (via Chicago) all by myself for an entire summer to work as a counselor at a YMCA summer camp.

3.) I have a tattoo of a yellow daisy on my hip, I got it when I was 22 in Chicago with two great guy friends Will and Craig!

4.) Eric and I lived in India for 8 months volunteering with the YMCA. It was one of the greatest experieces I have ever had! GOA and Alleppey are two of the most beautiful places in the entire world. And yes, they are in India.

5.) I love to cook however I sometimes burn baked goods!

6.) After attending college for 3 1/2 years I was asked to leave because my grades were less than desired, I moved to YMCA Camp Duncan in January and began working full-time. I later went back to college at 28 and finished my B.A.

7.) I'm a huge Bono fan and believe he is truely making a difference in the world. I have seen him twice, and at the second concert I was 8 months pregnant with Anna!

And, technically, I am supposed to tag 7 other people. So, here goes. If you don't want to do it, feel free to ignore my tag and if you do want to and I didn't tag you then leave me a note in the comments after you post so I can come over and learn 7 things about you!
