I was tagged to do this challenge on Facebook then decided it would be fun to post here on LJ, too!
7 Things You Don't Know About Me challenge. Hmm…what can I tell you guys?
1. I have always, always, always wanted to play the drums. Signed up for band when I was in grade school. Parents said I had to play the flute. I said no way. And that was the end of my band career! Still want to play the drums, though.
2. I'm a total believer in extraterrestrial life on other planets. It's naive to think we're the only life in the entire universe. I wear my "I Want To Believe" shirt proudly!
3. Vancouver, Canada is my most favorite place in the whole world. I'd live there in a heartbeat if I could.
4. I won my entire wedding (including a honeymoon in Barbados) through a radio contest. My parents only had to pay for the reception. You've never seen two happier people.
5. I'd give anything to quit my day job and become a professional photographer. Or a baker. Or a writer. Or an FBI agent.
6. I'm a roller coaster fanatic/adrenaline junkie. I've traveled all over to go on the biggest and fastest that's out there. I also zip-line off the tops of mountains. And go white water rafting.
7. One of my favorite hobbies is going to conventions to meet my favorite actors and actresses. I've been all over the country (and to Canada). Some women spend their money on clothes and shoes. I spend mine on autographs and photo ops, which make for some amazing memories.
Now YOU guys do this! Let's get to know each other even better!

2) I loved astronomy and am fascinated by everything to do with the cosmos. I cannot believe that there are a hundred billion galaxies and a hundred billion stars in each of them without life. You bet there are other lifeforms out there!
3) Visited Vancouver two years ago and totally fell in love with it - although I also love most of the Northwestern cities - Portland and Seattle are also wonderful.
4) Never won anything in my life!
5) Absolutely love my day job - except it doesn't pay anything. I home school my kids and couldn't be happier.
6) Love roller coasters, though can't afford to go that often. Love zip lines and high ropes courses. Not quite as fond of things on water although I've gone white water rafting several times as my husband loves it.
7) Never been to a convention, although I would dearly love to do so, but I don't live in an area where there is a lot of activity and my husband doesn't understand the appeal or support the expense. However, I did go up to watch White Collar filming twice and met and chatted with TIm DeKay - whoot!

Same here. I’d live anywhere in the pacific northwest if I could.
5) Absolutely love my day job - except it doesn't pay anything. I home school my kids and couldn't be happier.
Aww, what a rewarding job!

My jealousy knows no bounds over that! You lucky woman, you!
