This One's for you Tracy

About a month ago my friend Tracy "tagged" me in one of her posts. I had no idea what that even meant. Apparently I was supposed to follow the lead of her post and respond to the following questions. At the time I balked (remember, I don't like peer pressure) but currently I am "studying" for my classis exams tomorrow and am obviously desperate for distractions. So here we go:

4 Things I Did 10 Years Ago (1998)
...lived in a house with 16 other women with barely any drama.
...got caught streaking by Hope College's Public Safety (I completely blame Elizabeth, Libby and Jenny B. Amy, you, as our fearless get-away driver did your best).
...had a crazy Young Life summer which involved a month at Windy Gap, followed directly by a week hiking in Colorado, followed directly by a week at Castaway.
...was asked to lead a spring break trip to a country I had never heard of before: the Dominican Republic.

4 Things I Did 5 Years Ago (2003)...
...was in my third year of working for Young Life in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
...survived the first mass exodus of my close friends in the DR.
...navigated the insurance system in the DR after getting in a car wreck.
...spent a month eliminating as much English from my life as possible in hopes to learn more Spanish. This included watching the dubbed version of Blue Crush many, many times.

4 Things I Did Yesterday...
...went to church.
...tried to figure out if I had food poisoning or just my normal odd digestion (yes, that seems like an oxymoron...welcome to my life).
...walked on the beach with three good friends and three crazy dogs.
...went to a concert at a coffee shop.

4 Shows I Love To Watch (in no particular order)
...So You Think You Can Dance
...The Amazing Race
...The Office
...LOST

4 Things That Make Me Really Happy
...sunshine (especially when sitting in it).
...my friends (especially all those with crazy dogs).
...cookies (especially oatmeal chocolate chip).
...sitting on the beach (especially during that time of day when the light makes everything look extra beautiful).
