Okay, so here are the seven random pieces of information about myself.

#1.  I love to contra dance.  If you don't know what contra dancing is, here is a video that my brother took about two months ago at a big dance called Chance Dance:

#2. I love history.  A LOT.  I am going to be working this summer as a tour guide at our local interpretive center.  The interpretive center is a replica of our city's founder's (Louis Lorimier's) home.  I will get to dress up in a costume of my own making, and show people around.  It's going to be awesome!

#3. I am currently reading Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" for the first time.  It's pretty good so far.  :)

#4. I have a Mickey Mouse waterbottle.  :)

#5. I like Easter more than Christmas, I think.  It's a lot less stressful, and it comes at the most beautiful time of year.  Plus, Jesus' Passion and Resurrection was the reason He was born in the first place.  ;)

#6. I have a paper Pascal on my desk.  Here is a link to make one yourself!  http://family.go.com/printables/article-938728-3d-pascal-papercraft-t/   (I had to include something about "Tangled."  I just couldn't help it.

#7. I will be singing in a choral union performance on the first of May.  It is the first time I've ever done something like this.  I think it will be fun!

Thanks all for reading!  Have a Happy and Blessed Easter!
