Getting To Know You...
35 questions about me
• What is your occupation? Housewife/ theology student.

I may have to do this one on my blog. Some of the questions are the same as similar questionnaires I've done via e-mail in the past, but a goodly number are different. I enjoyed learning more about you!
Mine's up!
