Hopping Around the Internet Today

So, I'm kind of doing a fun and new thing today...well new to me anyway.  Some of my missionary blogger friends around the world are doing a "Round Robin" hosted by Baptist Mission Women.  So be sure and click the link on the bottom of the page to go to the next blog and discover a whole new mission field and missionary family.



As part of the "Round Robin", I am sharing 5 interesting (hopefully interesting anyway) things about myself.

Five Interesting Things About Me:

1.) I am an outgoing introvert...it's complicated...be patient with me when I do not answer your call.

2.) I have ridden in an ambulance in a foreign country.  {click here}

3.) I have jumped out of a military airplane...five times.  Sorry I do not have any pictures, but I do have the wings to prove it.  Here is a picture of one of my boys, who is now big enough to wear my old uniform. 





4.)  I have swam in the Pacific Ocean, but never been to California.  {click here}  And I can not completely confirm, but we may have been invited over to a pastor's house to eat iguana while living on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico.  




5.)  One time we built a sun oven from stuff we got at the thrift store and baked bread using only the energy from the sun.  {click here}


So I asked my kids to list some interesting things about me.  This was the best I could get:

1.) You have a very ominous oder in the morning.  I think hope he was joking.  :)  But you kind of have to be proud of the creative use of the word ominous.

2.) You wax your legs instead of shaving.

3.) You can come up with games and activities at a moments notice.

4)  You can grow a garden anywhere.

5.)  You have six kids that are oozing with awesomeness who do the dishes.





6.)  You take great pictures.

  3. How fun to get to know a little bit about you :)
    I too have ridden in an ambulance in a foreign country. In fact, I almost put that as one of my interesting facts on my post. Not only did I ride in an ambulance, but I had to stay in the Russian hospital for 3 days (over Thanksgiving no less). It was an interesting experience and I lived to tell about it.
    Totally cool about jumping out of an airplane - even once, much less 5 times. I wouldn't want to, but I'm impressed with you.
    Gorgeous picture! I love photography too.
    Blessings to you,
    Rachel

    1. I think the ride may have been more terrifying for my husband who got to experience it from the front seat. Ever want to know what it is like to drive on the wrong side of the road. I was only in the hospital a day and a half.

    1. If we have a very busy season with lots of events and people in our house, then I can start to lose my outgoing part also.
