did i ever tell you about...

This is a new thing I have come up with for the new year.  I thought it would be fun for anyone who reads to suggest a life story they would like to read about me.  I may only have like 5 readers but there has got to be something those 5 people have wanted to ask me but never have.  I can't say that I will publicly answer everything but I may privately reply.  Anyway, I may do this each week, each moth or just whenever.  It will mostly depend on the kind of response I get.  If no one is interested I'll just move on, but I thought it could be fun.  And my hope is once I write on something some other of my blogger friends will steal the idea and do the same.  I think this will especially be fun for those of us who feel less than creative when writing blogs or often get stuck for blogging ideas.  So who's in?  A few ideas I had for blogs are:

Did I ever tell you about...

-how I met my husband?
-how Jesus changed my life?  (Meaning how I got to the point of knowing I needed Him.)
-the time my friends and I tried to stalk down the Backstreet Boys? (sad, but true)
-how and when I knew I would live in China?
-the time I did the gallon challenge at a youth camp?
-how I chose my children's names?

So many more ideas but I want someone else to come up with them.  My two main readers (well the only two that ever leave comments, my Mom and Kitty) probably know most of these stories but there are maybe other readers out there that don't.  I think this could be really fun to hear stories from those I didn't know as children or those that I've reconnected with after many years.  So if you want to participate of even just want to hear about something random you come up with leave me a comment.  If several of you want to do it we can organize (my favorite thing) a certain day and topic to all do together.  I'm willing to share...are you?

For the record, I read your blog. Every single day.

My ideas:
- How did you choose which college to go to?
- Tell about one of your memorable birthdays as a teenager.
- Tell about your high school prom.

For another record I do too... and pray for you daily!

I really want to know at what point you knew God was calling you to uproot your family and move?
And I was thinking the other day while reading the Bible, the word Judah popped up and I thought.. what made them name that cute little chunky monkey Judah?
-What exactly is your day like?
-how far is the nearest food market?
give me alittle bit and I will think of more.
