Old School Blogging...List of Fives

For a while now Christine has been rocking the Old School Blogging.  Then last week Angela posted her list of fives.  Well in true form about a week late here are my list of fives!!  It looked so fun and a great summer post!  Enjoy!

5 Things I have a passion for
1. my family
2. teaching
3. running
4. the beach
5. fitness
 
Right where these tootsies belong!

5 Things I would like to do before I die
1. Totally stealing on this one...I would like to see my girls grow up happy and become who God intends them to be
2. go on a safari
3. run another marathon
4. live in a house...by the ocean...with a pink door...think Miss. Rumphius! (I already have one picked out!)
One of my all time favorite kid's book!

5. drive across the country...When I lived in Spain we went to lots of small towns and I realized that there was so much of the U.S. that I haven't seen!

5 Things I say a lot
1. Do you mind if I go for a run?
2. Em where's your sister?
3. Good gravy
4. Let's use our kind words.

2. Runner's World
3. Real Simple
4. Do Life by Ben Davis...haven't finished this yet

  5. We love Miss Rumphius! I laughed at "vaminos!" beacuse I work with a lot of Spanish-speaking individuals and am in the habit of yelling some of the same phrases they do... but not all of them ;)
