Versitile Bloger (such that I am)

Nancy, over at Sage Parnassus has passed along a Versatile Blogger award. Nancy is a CM advocate and her blog is full of good things. Be sure to check it out! Here's the skinny on the award:

• Thank the award-giver who nominated you and link back to them in your post. (Thank-you, Nancy!)
• Share 7 random things about yourself.
• Nominate 15 blogs you enjoy reading (not happening, I'll just nominate 5, more or less)
• Inform the bloggers of their nomination.
• Add the Versatile Blog Award picture on your blog post.

7 Random Things about me:

• I spent a month backpacking in the High Unitas Wilderness in Utah the month before I entered college. I turned 18 in the mountains.  
• I learned to read when I was 4. I used to read everything I could get my hands on. Now, I'm a bit more discerning. 
• B.C. I had no intentions of getting married and had vowed never to marry a psychologist. (True Story. Cosmic joke in my life #2).
• I have been (mostly) happily married to my polymath, psychologist, hairy-beast husband for 26 years.
• I love Christmas brag letters and photos. Bring 'em on. Life's hard, tell me the good stuff!  
• I have lived on the East Coast, West Coast, Great Lakes region, Southwest and upper Midwest.
• Besides the Bible, Narnia has probably influence my theology more than any other writing.
