This is totally old. I started working on this in UT, but never finished. I'll post it officially until I'm sufficiently embarrassed and then re-post.
I've been "tagged," a first for me in this world o' blogs. Apparently this is a chance with the mike on to hear about little details of my life. My beautiful younger sister Heidi tagged me specifically so I must respond. So let's get on with it:
Ten years ago, I was... in New Westminister, BC, with Edlira Hoxha. Finishing up my mission serving with an Albanian girl ten years older than I who opened my eyes to how awesome it was to grow up in the USA and how horrible communism really is. Teaching lots of folks from Sudan and the Philippenes, humble and generous. And teaching my comp to drive. Completely scary.
Five years ago, I was...in Jersey City, NJ, staying home with two little girls while Mark worked many many hours saving lives doing PR in Manhattan. Upstairs from 4 kind Indian families who cooked with onions, garlic, and curry nonstop. Not so bad occasionally, but when you're making banana bread or first wake up in the morning, not a smell you really go for. Consequently, I cannot stand that stuff while pregnant.
Speaking of that, One year ago I was....pregnant and carsick, driving back to TX from UT and a side trip to DC for my brother's wedding. With my 17 year old sister Liesl and my 3 kiddos. What a brave soul my sister is.
Yesterday I was...in Heber, visiting my fabulous cousins the Palmers. We crashed their family reunion, and my children consumed their weight in junk food.
