Well today is 11/11/15 which is World Race Day (as well as Veterans Day) so what better day to have a blog post. My Squad is in a word: Fantastic. As the body of Christ we are called into the world together; very different people call together by the Father to do His work. I have historically been very slow to make friends well, not at Training camp. In those ten days and with those 40, at that point strangers, I was the silliest and truest version of myself. They have videos to prove it. If I was excited about the journey I was going on before training camp the only word that could describe my feelings now would be ecstatic.
I would also like to take this time to thank everyone that has supported me thus far. I am already more than 75% funded. God is So Good!!!
In conclusion to continue the openness and randomness that is me here are 11 random Facts about me.
- In the spirit of Veterans Day both my grandfathers served in the armed forces: and one of them stole a spoon. I know because I am now in possession of a very nice piece of silverware that has US Navy stamped on it.
- I went to a school for the Lapidary Arts. (Look it up)
- My favorite animal is the Cuttlefish because they are intelligent little cephalopods that can change color at will and are adorable.
- I have built and stayed in a quinzhee. Think Hobbit hole but made out of snow. Igloo would have been a better way to describe this but as previously stated I am a Nerd.
- My favorite movie is “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
- My favorite Broadway show is Pippin.
- I like dressing up for Halloween my best costume was Yukon Cornelius from the Rudolph Christmas special.
- I am a Baritone singer; which means for those that are not musically inclined or trained, I am stuck in between the men that can sing the really low parts and the ones that can sing the really high parts.
- I have no clue how to dance.
- My favorite Childhood books were “The Magic School Bus”
- My favorite quote is “ Not all who wander are lost” from J.R.R. Tolkien
