info session

Got the idea from Robin -

What I was doing 10 years ago - I was married and had a very energetic 1 and 1/2 year old little boy. I was working 20 hours a week at a wonderful church (mainly Sundays and Wednesdays with a little bit of time otherwise). I was pretty worn out from chasing after MB all the time - but that was just about my favorite age with him - even though I still very much enjoy his current age.

5 years ago - I had two children then - a really enegetic 6 and 1/2 year old boy, and a very sweet-tempered, easy going baby girl who was almost 3. I was working in campus ministry, so my summers were fairly free. We were at the neighborhood pool a lot! And I was getting ready to go to an international campus ministry conference in Vancouver (broke my leg on the way there - didn't know it - fun story).

1 year ago - At the pool all the time (great tan!) with two kids who could swim fairly well. Thinking about ways I could make my job more interesting and creative - something of a midlife crisis. Started reading Entertainment Weekly on a regular basis (and passing them on to EM)!

Yesterday - Went to Home Depot and bought ceiling fans (95 degrees!!) for two rooms in new house - central air will go but so far. Called friend to ask him to come help me install them (I'll hand him the tools). Went to work. Had lunch with a work colleague and friend. Went to Target. Came home and let husband order pizza while I spent the next three hours finishing putting together an armoir for our tv and stereo stuff in the living room (on sale at Big Lots!).

Chocolate!!
Chex Mix

5 Songs I know all the words to -
Amazing Grace (what minister wouldn't?)
Red, Red Wine (should always be a duet with Tracey, especially to annoy sonny-boy) - UB40
