My Turn

OK, so in the blog world there is something called being tagged. And I was tagged last month by Amanda. When you are tagged you are supposed to answer random questions about yourself and then tag other people so that you can learn random things about them as well.

Well I'm not following the rules exactly right, my friend Adele was tagged a few months ago and I liked her questions better than sharing seven random things about myself. (Sorry Amanda!) So I'm borrowing her set of rules for my turn as "it".

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their name, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

What I was Doing 10 Years Ago
Leading a short term team to Madagascar with Teen Missions International. I knew that I wanted to pursue medical missions but I wasn't exactly sure of all the details yet.

Five Snacks I Love

1. ICE CREAM!!!
2. Chocolate
3. Cookies (are you getting that I love sweets?)
4. Pizza (ok, maybe it is not a snack but I crave it a lot lately)
5. Popcorn with lots of butter

Things I would do if I were a Billionaire

1. Tithe the first 10% to the Lord
2. Pay off my school loans
3. Give a bunch of money to some very responsible charitable organizations
4. Found a business which would produce jobs and generate income in remote areas of Africa
5. Pay off my sister's school loans
6. Buy everyone in my family a car (William and I have decided that the Toyota Rav4 would work pretty well for us in the village).
