25 Random Things About Me

Picture for list item number 2.
I don't know these guys.

On Facebook, people tag each other to do lists and stuff like the one below. I wrote this one for Facebook, but it took me a long time, so it might as well suffice for a blog post as well.

25 Random Things About Me

1. I always wanted twin girls and I got them.


2. I'm not very good at standing around in a circle of guys talking. (Although I was in high school.)


3. I never had an MP3 player until last August and have now upgraded all the way to an iPod Touch, which I love; but more for everything else it does rather than the music it plays.


4. I spend too much time writing for my blog, but I enjoy it.


5. I love our driveway.


6. I once won a Dance Dance Revolution contest at the Great Wolf Lodge.


7. I estimate that I read about 30,000 words a day on average.


8. Of those 30,000 words, about 300 of them are from the Bible. That's pretty lame.


9. I like to ride my bike.


10. I have a hard time finding shoes in stores that fit me.

16. I spend some time alone with God almost everyday. A part of this time is usually spent listening for God's voice - for guidance. Last Sunday that voice told me to watch two football games.
