25 things...

I may be the last person to do this(at least I hope it's almost over)...

I was trying to avoid it, but since I see about ten a day, I guess it's time to get into the game, so here is my list of 25 randoms...

25. If it was up to me, I'd be leading a church in New Orleans... right now

24. I work with churches six days a week, sometimes seven

23. My kids may not beat yours up, but they most certainly have longer combined first names... ALEXANDERBENJAMIN

21. I didn't learn to drive a manual shift until I was 20.

20. I was born in Augsburg, Germany, while my parents were missionaries

19. I have two little brothers...a Pastor and a Pizza Delivery Guy

18. I LOVE College Football and would like to visit as many different stadiums on game day as possible, I added both Death Valleys to my completed list last season (LSU and Clemson)

17. I've owned a Jaguar and a Porsche...my next car will probably be a Ford or Toyota

6. I was a History major in College and often wonder where I'd be if I was a High school history teacher and coach of random(probably baseball) sport wearing those awesome tight coach shorts.

5. I was on top of the dugout immediately after Magglio Ordonez hit the walk off home run to clinch the Detroit Tigers first trip to the World Series in 20 years in 2006, and I immediately regretted being there when hugged by a BIG drunk crying guy.

4. My first trip to Canada was under the guise of a camping trip in a friends borrowed van, he's still upset about it...eleven years later.
