A, B, C, or D - all of the above?

I Love taking quizzes! Not the 'nail biting, cram the night before, pass or fail' quizzes. But the fun quizzes that have absolutely no inherent value at all. The ones I take just for kicks!

Let's be honest, you know you've taken a few! "Is he really the one?", or "Am I a wall-flower or a party animal?", or the ever popular "You could be a red-neck...".

A while back, I actually found one that rang true. Apparently there are 20 things that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am indeed a military wife!

20. You have a collection of different size, shape and color window treatments that would rival Wal-mart.

19. You remember years and milestones by duty stations.

18. Even as toddlers, your kids would stop what they were doing and put their hand over their heart when they heard the national anthem.

17. You can sleep through the sound of artillery shells and low flying choppers.

16. You reach for your military I. D. upon entering a civilian store.

15. Your young kids will point to anyone wearing ACUs and boots, regardless of race or gender, and yell "Daddy!".

14. Your use acronyms like ACU, PCS, LES and you know what they mean.

13. You've moved eight times in the last nine years and you're not running from the law.

12. The front hall closet of your home is a designated uniform closet.

11. You know you're husbands social security number better than you know your own.

10. You're neighbors know you, but have never seen your spouse.

9. Your car dies and at least one major appliance goes down just as your husband leaves for temporary duty.

8. You used to enjoy movies, now you count how many mistakes Hollywood made when portraying the military.

7. You find yourself telling the movers the correct way to pack the boxes.

6. Your husband will be gone for two months and you think, "Is that all? No problem!"

5. You aren't surprised to get a four day notice for a four month deployment.

4. You make out all schedules in pencil, because EVERYTHING is subject to change.

3. You know what 'Pogey Bait' is.

2. You start reading the Army Times instead of People.

1. You yell at your kids by saying, "Don't make me e-mail your father!"

This is definitely an 'all of the above' quiz for me. Some points are funny and some not so much. But all in all, I love the life the Lord has given me! He has blessed me in ways I never would have dreamed. The Army may write the orders, but I know who controls my future. And I trust that He knows better than me what is best!

Psalm 139

13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

*By the way, the latest quiz informed me that out of the Silver Screen Icons, I'm most like:

Elizabeth Taylor!

Oh, If I had a nickel. . .
