Aunt Jane / I got TAGGED

Louanne on Feb 8th 2008

First off I want to say HELLO to my Aunt Jane. I know you are a loyal reader of the blog and I just want you to know that you can email me anytime :)  Jen has reported your question asking to me. Hee hee. I also want you to know that your post way back on August 1st when we were coming home was one of the sweetest things and I cried happy tears at it. Love you!

Next, I was tagged by Sindy at http://forallisonwithlove.blogspot.com/ and I am supposed to list 7 things you may not know about me.
The rules are to link the person who sent this to you and leave a comment on their blog so their readers can visit yours. Post the rules on your blog. Share 7 strange/weird facts about yourself. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, linking their blog. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here is the list of things you may not know about me:

  1. Mike proposed to me in a hot air balloon as we floated over Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth.
  2. David Copperfield made me vanish in his act during a show in Las Vegas. (no I wasn’t “offered” a trip to his island….HA HA)
  3. Cookies are my favorite food group.
  4. I once sang in the fanfare choir at Disneyland during their Christmas service. It happens every year and one choir is picked to be the ones on the cool Christmas tree made of people. James Earl Jones was the narrator the year I sang.
  5. I was the high school mascot my freshman year. It was a lion costume with a big crown.
  6. I took a ride in the CareFlite helicopter after almost dying in a car accident where the car rolled 4.5 times.
  7. I moved 17 times as a child and went to at least as many schools. No, I wasn’t a military brat, I was a restaurant brat.

Now here are the blogs I want to tag. I have at least 20, so I narrowed it down to people that I don’t know some random things about. :)

  1. Terri at http://riobello.typepad.com/adventures/
  2. Christina at http://ourjourneytoalice.blogspot.com/ 
  3. Gina at http://mgdtochina.blogspot.com/
  4. Tracy at http://emanoff-china.blogspot.com/
  5. Mutha at http://wordtoyourmutha.blogspot.com/
  6. Kiy at http://rockingchairsandatricycle.blogspot.com/

    I want to hear the dish on the magic trick too!

    Hi Louanne, I just wanted to sat Thanks for sending me notes when I was having a hard time this last month. And your little girl is soooo darling and her personality just oozes for the camera! Love the tongue pic. and the books too (we’re a bit obsessed with books). Funny thing about David Copperfield… hubby took an ex girlfriend there as well who was choosen and for years he swore it was me!! Yeah, hun, think again. That made me laugh. And James Earl… I’m so jealous! I’m a sucker for his voice… he and Sean Connery. Just thought I’d stop to say hi and that I haven’t forgotten ya.

    How cool! So how does David Copperfield make you disappear?!! Did you have to sign a contract saying you wouldn’t disclose any secrets?!!!

    Killer proposal!!! Glad the car wreck wasn’t, though!

    Oh my goodness!! I sure was surprised. Yes, I am a loyal reader but a nervous poster! I’m gonna meet that precious baby girl one of these days!! I did not know some of those things about you. What I do know about you is that God has His hand on you(and your family) and that you are living out HIS purpose – the purpose He created and saved you for!! Love you. Aunt Jane

    Aunt Jane – you cute thing!!! Thanks again for your sweet words. I thought you deserved your own shout out!

    About David Copperfield, they did have us sign stuff but I wonder how long that is valid. Remember that show on several years back where the guy in the mask revealed the magic tricks, but didn’t want his identity to get out. He did the exact trick on that show. Maybe someday soon I will type it out. There were 13 of us involved in the trick, so it was involved.

    To those I have tagged – I am totally digging the random facts about you too.

    To all who have asked for the magic trick–don’t worry she will never disclose the answer! Not even to her dear old mom!

    Love you honey, I have room in the closet now that the mascot head is out of there!

    I forgot about the Disneyland one!

    I thank God everyday that you were in a Saturn & Mike held pressure on your head to stop the bleeding-my angel.

    Just think, I was the one that had to pack the 17 times! That is why you are so outgoing! I was the airforce brat moving so many times!

    Love you,

    Mom

    Kisses and hugs to Mike & Nadia!
