TAGGED

OK so now we have been tagged to share 7 little known or interesting facts about us so...

1.We are high school sweethearts!!! Well... I had to convince Rob of that in his first year of college... but it worked... He was always MY high school sweetheart!

2. Rob did not always love God!! (Now he does...FYI) He went on a mission trip to Mexico to help build a church but..."didn't want anything to do with the God stuff"... God had different plans.

3. Hope was a cheerleader and ran hurdles in track (that surprises a lot of people for some reason!)... Rob was a football/baseball jock... voted "hottest" guy in the senior class...Hope says he will still be the hottest guy even when he is truly a SENIOR! (Rob is cringing... he hates cute comments like that) =)

4. We live in a log house built by Rob

5. We have EIGHT nieces and nephews and we love them a lot!!!

6. Hope loves EVERY kind of music imaginable (within moral boundaries) and Rob is very patient with her spastic CD changing ability in the car!

7. Rob lives and breathes fishing... seriously... and gets a little forlorn when he has not gone for a while! Hope finally has a horse to be HER live and breath passion (second to God) to balance out Rob's fishing!

8. WE (yes WE) want to eventually open a camp for abused children to be touched by God's love through horses. Hope has a lot to learn...but WE know it will happen in God's time!

9.Rob owns his own construction business and God has been good, making it prosper... we have GREAT employees too!

10. Hope is a preschool teacher and has been for 7 years! She loves it, but hopes to stay home once the kids get home.

11. Hope loves old black and white movies. Rob likes war movies.

12. We live off of venison.. praise God!

13. Hope loves dancing(but hasn't been into it for quite some time now) and desperately wants to learn to play that Piano, Guitar, Fiddle and Steel Guitar...and maybe the dulcimer... and accordion... and banjo... and....

14. WE HAVE AWESOME FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

15. Rob was once invited to dance in a native Filipino dance while in the Philippines... and he DID! Hope is SO proud of him!!!

16. Hope once stayed in Mexico for a month to teach English, Rob has been to Mexico, Honduras, Romania, Philippines, Alaska on mission trips. Next is Haiti!!! We can't wait!
