Yes

Lucky chance and a desire to create combined with a love of books.

I had no idea. I assumed I'd go to college. I didn't go to college until I was 33!

Only Debate!

(Which we did manage to successfully argue was just as much of a "sport" as Shadle's football team. Never try to out debate the Varsity Debaters in a Student Council meeting!)

Being found on FaceBook by Brian Morgans, Tara Wetherell and Peter Morris. Having a recession proof job with a company I love. Risking everything to go to Bible College. Living in England. Going to Israel. Finding old friends who I thought were gone but now live in Seattle.

Yes! I visit friends in Mississippi, Arkansas, New York City, Colorado Springs, Hawaii, California, and Alaska. I spent three and a half months (one semester) living in York England and got to spend a life changing 10 days in Israel.

Not that I care to remember.

Not that I care to let you know about. ;)

Alice Tarr at graduation practice speaking up to defend me. Eating Fiddle Faddle for lunch with Kara and Tara and Polly. Finding that my strangeness was ok in debate and that it was appreciated that I was smart. Spending time with Bryan Corte and Joe Sonduck when I was supposed to be in the library working on my debate case.

... Too many to mention. It's all in the past. Though I will say that our councilor trying to get me to drop debate every year to take "Child Development" was particularly insulting.

Debate trips. Mrs. Becker. Bob Gillmore always pretending to forget everyone's names but still always calling me my sister's name and asking me about my debate case. Having a crush for YEARS on entirely the wrong guy!

I wouldn't neglect my homework. I wouldn't have separated myself from my male friends from grade school. I'd have picked better company. I'd have studied my German more - turns out it's very important when studying ancient Greek! I wouldn't worry so much that I didn't fit in and instead embrace my abilities.

Meh. Everyone is interesting. No one "famous" but everyone I've met has been important.

Learned to bind books! (Am I repeating myself here?) Learned to make corsets. Started my own small business. Learned Koine Greek. Got my life back together. Lived in England and found a place where I really belonged. Traveled extensively. Lived a difficult but ultimately joyful life.

I'm divorced. No kids. God is my driving passion. I have three tattoos. I spent five and a half years homeless after graduation.

Life can be so beautiful if you let it. Be careful with your heart, it is precious. Do things for the pure joy of them. Never let passion die.

I never thought I would, but I am looking forward to seeing you all. Meeting up with Brian and Peter in Seattle recently has really helped me place things in their proper order.
