Debbie Hutchins tagged me for this MeMe. Here are the rules based on Debbie's post...
Here are all of the ground rules that need to be followed:
1. Create a blog post with a link to the person who so happily tagged you. See above!
2. List all of these rules in the post. Feel free to cut and paste this.
3. Share seven things that others may not know about you. Do I or have I HAD a life outside of real estate?
4. Identify seven friends, contacts or near enemies in which to adorn this MEME. Tag them at the end of the post and give a link to their blog.
5. Contact each of the tagged members and let them know that you were indeed fast enough to catch them and that you did indeed tag them...no matter how much they say you missed them! No schoolyard rules in this MEME, nope you gotta do it if you are tagged. Sorry guys!
Before becoming a Realtor, I worked 14 years as an Actuarial Analyst for life insurance and for retirement plan benefits consulting companies. I have the ASA designation which stands for Associate of the Society of Actuaries . I love working with numbers but I discovered that what I love even more is helping and working with people.
I always loved animals and nature. I have two Australian Shepherds: Kylie (Brown Merle) and Barkley (Blue Merle). Kylie came from the Atlanta Humane Society and Barkley came from a county shelter in Fresno, California. They love their new surroundings in Red Lodge, Montana as you can see from the following picture (on the left is Barkley and and on the right is Kylie). If you are interested to adopt a pet, please visit Petfinder .
Update: In the summer of 2009, I adopted a third dog (Australian Shepherd mix) from the Beartooth Humane Alliance. His name is Jester. Click on the following link to see his puppy photo: Pawsitevily Puppy Love.
I have a passion for mineral collecting. My favorite store for buying quality minerals is Kristalle in Laguna Beach, California. My favorite mineral is Rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home Mine. Rhodochrosite is considered to be a stone of love and balance. The following is a photo of a Rhodochrosite that is part of my collection.
Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. I have been playing volleyball since high school. I played in both competitive and social leagues, both indoor and on the beach. I even played on the sand in an indoor volleyball league during those cold winter months.
I love to devote some of my spare time volunteering and helping out my community. I regularly lend a hand as a volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club . I participated in the recent Habitat for Humanity project in Red Lodge and I recently joined the Board.
I am an avid photographer. Since I moved to Red Lodge, I usually take my digital camera with me wherever I go as I love to take pictures of my beautiful surroundings and share them with my friends across the US and Canada and with my family in Montreal, Canada. You can see a sample of my best pictures of Red Lodge on Localism. See Red Lodge Through Pictures!
My motto in life is to live, love and laugh. Carpe diem .
Alright, I feel much better now that I am done with my Meme and the info about moi-même ("myself" in French).
I don't like this part but I have to do it to adhere to the rules (see #4). So don't get mad at me but laugh about it if you are tagged below. Please note:
- I took the time to check the list (Alphabetical Index of all Memes on Active Rain) to make sure you have not had a Meme post before (that is up to May 2008 as I don't think this list has been updated since, Debbie you may get tagged for another Meme!).
- I also used the Search engine in AR to verify that you have not been tagged for a Meme about you (sorry but "bookworm Meme" does not count).
- I also verified that you have not yet joined the Meme's group (if you did, it most likely means that you have posted a Meme and are aware of the Meme tagging going around in AR).
The following are the 7 lucky AR members to share 7 things about themselves:
