The "rules" of the game are as follows:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4. If you're tagged, DO IT and pass on the tag
* * * * *
1. I don't get a chance to watch much TV, but I have to admit that I am a huge "So You Think You Can Dance" fan! I started watching in Australia and it is the one show that I "plan" to watch. I think that I would have loved to take some dance lessons. I started taking some latin ballroom in Mexico and loved it. Apparently I do have some rhythm(the many years of piano, band and dancing with Dad must have helped), but I have zero flexibility and lack a bit of coordination!
2. I love to cook and bake and actually find it relaxing. I love to entertain and share new recipes with friends and family, but never seem to have a place big enough to do so. One day when we buy or build a home, the most important feature would be the kitchen and the dining room. I want a HUGE kitchen with a big eating area. I would also like to take some cooking or baking classes, just for fun.
3. I love the heat and hate the cold! I dread winter and hate feeling cold. I think this fear or dread of the cold happened when I returned from living in Mexico. The day I left Mexico it was a beautiful hot day with temperatures reaching in the high thirties. I arrived in Calgary to minus 20, wind, flurries and absolutely froze to death. I prefer the nice dry heat though, versus the super humid, sweat non-stop heat.
4. I have the travel bug and it is permanent. Even with all of our moving around, I still love to travel and I get the itch all the time (I am grateful that my hubby shares the same travel bug--maybe it's contagious!!). I would love to see more of Europe, and I would love to see South America and Central America. My dream trip is to go to the Holy Land and see all of the historical, biblical sites. I would love to see where Jesus and his disciples walked, where miracles were preformed, to see where the most well known biblical accounts took place.
5. I miss living in the country and hope that one day my kids can grow up in the country and be free to explore, and enjoy the great outdoors like I did as a child. There was a time in my life where I couldn't wait to get off the farm and into the big cities. I did enjoy my time in the city life when I was young and single, but now that I am married and have a little one, I would love the simplicity, the peacefulness and the serenity of living in the country again!
6. My favourite movies and books are those that are based on true stories. I am not into fantasy, fiction, any of that stuff (I never liked cartoons growing up either--I know I'm weird). I like bibliographies, historical accounts, archaeological findings, stories that are based on true events and movies that are based on true stories. They are easier to relate to and I love hearing about other people's lives, struggles, fears, likes, passions, etc. Unfortunately I do not have as much time as I would like to sit and read a great book, but one that I have read recently and couldn't put down was "Save me from Myself" by Brian "Head" Welsh (he was the guitar player for the extremely heavy metal band Korn and became a Christian---his testimony is remarkable.

I need to do this soon!
Love your list! We long to live in the country too! Helayna would love it out there!
I enjoyed your list Vanessa but am a little too "blogged out" to respond at the moment. (Did you read my lengthy recap of the past 6 weeks or so? That's it! Six-week recap in lieu of six random things!!) I'll have to get my friends blogging as I don't even have six people to tag. I,too, always dreamed of a large kitchen. I have especially enjoyed baking over the years but I think I have lost my touch. Sometimes one's goals conflict. Raising a family in the country was a definite must for me,but it meant giving up other goals that were important. My Dad (Grandpa Willie) always said that sometimes you have to do the things you don't like in order to achieve the ones you do like. Good advice, I thought. P.S. I will ponder "six random things."
Thanks for sharing these little tidbits with us. The big kitchen, a fantasy of mine, too. I have it all planned out in my head. You learn a few things from every place you're in. And the country life, we were all so eager to get out of there, but it would be so nice to have a big backyard and place to play. Tyler loves my parents' yard and how big the lawn is.
