Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve officially been tagged by Josh and Amanda to tell you 5 interesting things about myself. Here goes my attempt:
1) I have lived in nine different place (soon to be ten) in the first 22 years of my life. If you don’t believe me I will recount them all: born in Japan, moved to Gulfport, Mississippi where my sister was born, on to the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. After, Hawaii moved to Yuma, Arizona, then to San Diego, California. From California to Troy, Michigan where I graduated from high school. Michigan to West Lafayette to attend and graduate from Purdue University. In the middle of my time at Purdue my family move to Birmingham, Alabama. After graduating from Purdue, I move to Pensacola, Florida. In a few short weeks I will be making my tenth relocation in my life to Enid, Oklahoma.
2) I recently spun out on I-65 over my Christmas Vacation this past year. It was a drizzly morning and I was getting around some traffic on the Interstate. I was attempting to get over a lane and somehow I missed this red car in the middle of my blind spot and yanked myself back into the lane. However, this yanking over into my lane and the lack of traction on the highway due to the drizzle, I ended up spinning my car 180 degrees and ended up facing traffic in the slow lane. The Lord was gracious to me and protected me, no accident occurred and no injuries were sustained by myself and my car did not even get a scratch. Thank You, Lord for protecting me that morning.
3) I actually enjoyed my engineering classes and look forward to continuing in engineering and getting at least my Master’s of Science in Aerospace Engineering. One day, I hope to put to use my engineering training and design the next generation of airplanes. However, at the moment I am getting the chance of a life time by taking my theoretical knowledge of Aerospace Engineering and learning the practical application of flying airplanes as I train to become a Naval Aviator. That’s another interesting thing about myself is that I am in the process to be a Naval Aviator, Lord willing one day I will be flying jets off of the aircraft carrier but I will go where the Lord wants me to go.
4) I enjoy reading for fun. Often I rather read a good book than watch television (which has increasingly less good shows to watch today), watch a movie or play Video Games. Over the summer I ended up reading a good 5,000+ pages since then my reading has dwindled but when I find a good book I much rather read than do anything else. I recently read the entire Harry Potter Series and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy (that was the majority of my summer reading). More recently I have read When God Writes Your Love Story, When Dreams Come True, Wild at Heart, and currently The Love Languages of God (be looking for my thoughts on this reading soon) I highly recommend all these books. I am not sure what I will pick up next but I hope it is a good read and gives me a lot to think about.
5) I have red-hair. You might not think that is is all that interesting but I do, especially because red heads always have people telling us how much they love are hair and red heads have more fun than ever one else.
That was harder that I expected but I am sure there are more but these are the ones that came to me and my roommate who helped me. I now get the pleasure of tagging three people now, I tag Sara (my cousin), John (my current roommate) and Kathryn (a friend from college).
