22. Hitch hiked - Twice in one day. It was interesting to be sitting in the back of a truck with a soccer team and a tiny crab. In Ecuador, I learned that hitch hiking is not a quiet thing like here in the States. Here, you stick out your thumb and hope someone stops. There, you yell the name of the place you want to get to and when someone slows down, you run & hope you can make it into the back of the vehicle before they speed up.

42. Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt

43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant - I don't think we bought the entire meal, but we at least contributed $10 toward it. Michael was home on leave & we were eating lunch with some friends. A little girl & 2 men (dad & grandpa) came into the restaurant. The little girl looked so tired. The men treated her as if she was very fragile. She appeared to have lost the majority of her hair. The men kept urging her to eat a little bit and she would. My heart broke at the sight. We didn't have much money at the time, but I knew that what we did have, we needed to give to this family. I asked our server to take $10 off of their bill because I wanted to pay that much. She did. I don't know if the server said anything to the family, but I felt good knowing that I had been obedient to what God had prompted me to do.

44. Visited Africa

45. Walked on a beach by moonlight - After our theater performances, we'd go to this restaurant called Herbie K's. Then we'd walk through the pool area of a nearby hotel to get to the beach.

46. Been transported in an ambulance - N was coming a little sooner & quicker than expected. I had the truck at work, Michael was almost an hour away at his work. My contractions were 4 minutes apart & steadily getting closer. My boss couldn't leave because the only other gal working was 16. So, when the ambulance crew got there, I was told that I was the calmest woman in labor they had ever transported.
