I've been tagged by Cheri from Northwoods Ramblings ! I have been given the task of listing seven random facts about myself. Here goes: 1. I spent a month of the summer after my high school graduation on a Teen Mania Ministries mission trip to Atlanta, Georgia. 2. I am currently training to do limited obstetrical ultrasounds at a crisis pregnancy center. I did an ultrasound on twins today. Wow! 3.

The roller coasters didn't make me vomit, but the brain swelling sure did. Ugh! 4. I think lipgloss is much better than lipstick. 5. I don't like Jazz. It makes me have panic attacks. 6. I had LASIK surgery in 1999. Now I need glasses again. 7. I think Facebook is annoying. Don't poke me!
