Look to the West for Moscow

I'm "IT"

OK...so come to find out there's a game in the blog world where if "tagged" you have to tell six random things about yourself. Hmmm... here goes:

1. I was a flight attendant for America West Airlines (now US Airways) for 13 1/2 years and then retired at the age of 35. And my husband and I and soon to be child/children have lifetime free flight privileges on that airline. The thing is...at that time AWA was looking to get rid of some senior flight attendants because our union had negotiated for AWA to give a nice pay raise to flight attendants, and thus the reason for wanting the senior f/a's who would have made more money out. I took it!

2. There are a few people who know this, but I have to sleep with "white noise". Like the sound of a fan. If I travel, I have a sound machine of the ocean I bring with me. Roger gives me grief for this, but I've tried sleeping w/o and just can't now. I believe it may have been caused by many years of sleeping in hotels with all kinds of sounds happening (they didn't put us up in the cream of the crop hotels) around and the white noise cancels that out so I can sleep.

3. I like to exercise...gym, hiking, tennis, yoga, etc...

4. I also like to shop. For anyone or anything. It's hard to hold back and not purchase something I see for my daughter, but just can't until I meet her. (OK...I bought a couple of things...) :-)

5. I'm currently hooked on this app for the iPhone called Wurdle. My husband is beating me at the moment.

6. As someone else had also posted on their blog...my husband and I never wanted children, never thought we would...and here we are in our 40's ready, willing, able and very eager to become parents. :-)

So now I have to list the rules and list six others to be "tagged".

If I have tagged you, here are the rules!
1. Link to the person that tagged you.
Heidi

2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random facts about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the taggers know when your entry is up.

To be tagged: (sorry if you've already been tagged)

1. Shannon
2. Shelly
3. Amy
4. Clarion
5. Katie
6. Smith - AL

Thanks for your nice comments on our blog. We do feel blessed that Trey really hasn't had any issues (especially since he was 5 when we adopted him). However, I just want to encourage you that these children are so resilient to all of the changes that will take place when they come to America. You will be amazed at how your little girl takes to everything and LOVES EVERYTHING! Good luck in your journey. I will definitely follow your story.

God's Blessings,
Kathy
