Amy . . .

What would you like to know? I am fun, but crazy. I have a most perfect husband, and 2 cats named Samson and Delilah. We are presently working on adopting a little girl from China and have a separate blog for that. I am a Christian and am working on a better relationship with him. I live in the Atlanta area and love sharing stories with people. I am also a pediatric nurse and I love it! I love to talk and meet new people and I love Disney Cruising

Day 5 Questions

1) There are many blogs that are from outside the continental United States. Find one, comment and tell us something interesting.

Here is my choice that I justs found out SgtDub! I think hubby will like this one! he is a military guy sharing his thoughts about over seas!

2) There are my adoption blogs. It can be domestic or international. Find one and leave some encouraging words!!!

Extra point if you give me an idea and I use it! Email me at amyschristopher@comcast.net!!!!

I just came upon this wonderful family today who is travelling this week to get their little boy from Ethiopia! Keep them in your prayers!

As far as an idea how about finding a blog that has posted a recipe that we have tried and then we can give a review? I know I am always looking for more things to make!

Have a great weekend!

This is great because these are two of my daily reads

Outside us-http://www.livesayhaiti.blogspot.com/ The livesay family are missionaries in Haiti.

Adoption blog-
http://catching-butterflies.blogspot.com/ Cathing butterflies just picked up their little girl from China. Very interesting read.

Idea--new blogger. A blog with less than something like 50 posts. It will help incourage newer bloggers into our world.

1. Blog outside US
http://tanabata.blogspot.com

A Canadian in Japan via England - she posted some pictures of Japanese food that look very interesting.

2. Adoption blog
http://waitingforbriana.blogspot.com

Doug and Lisa from the Atlanta area celebrated their 10th year anniversary and 18 month LID. Doug works at Home Depot - same as my husband.

New idea: How about looking for something specific on a player's blog - such as finding someone with a certain number of children or has a specific job or has read a specific book or seen a specific movie - you specify the item to be found.

1. Vol Abroad is from Tennessee but is currently living in England with her English husband. She is currently expecting and planning to have a midwife, my dream until I had surgery that would make that impossible.
2. Andie and Jeff are in the process of adopting a child from China.

Hm, we could look for someone with the same profession or hobby that we have.

oooh Just one mmmm......

1.My husband's : South Africa Western Cape. Its well written, funny and interesting. Its about 125cc motorbike, linux and everything in between. http://gomotodiaries.blogspot.com/
Quote from one of his post:
My Gomoto is going nowhere today. In stead I will be using my wife's car in the next hour to drive to the airport to collect my Mother-in-Law, who is coming to visit us for a week.

I am tempted to say that this is the reason why the topic of "Insanity" is on my mind, but truth be told, we tend to call on her when we actually need to establish sanity in the household!

Hi Amy. I'm a little late with this one but I'm catching up.

1. Blog outside the US -
Kailani of An Island Life. She is a part-time Flight Attendant, wife and mother who lives in Hawaii. I enjoy reading her blog because of the interesting questions she often posts toward the end of her entry. I appreciate that she takes time to reply to comments individually.

2. Adoption Blog

. Tammy is married to Kurt. They have a daughter named Mary and they love camping.

Extra point - suggestion: Did you know that there are interesting "animal bloggers" (ex: cat with blogs) out there? Find one and share about it.

The Blue Panther Experience… and other things.
Here’s one that I read periodically. I don’t exactly know where he writes from but he certainly writes a lot about India. He started Blog Your Blessings Sunday BYBS, the purpose to post something on Sunday on why you feel blessed. He is actually a very good writer.

2) There are my adoption blogs. It can be domestic or international. Find one and leave some encouraging words!!!

http://awaitingava.blogspot.com/
I knew you blog would be a good reference to start searching and I wasn’t wrong. I found the blog “Awaiting Ava and read some of the posts. I also left words of encouragement for them.

1.) Have you ever been to Lifecruiser

Captain Lifecruiser is blogging from Sweden. Why Captain? She´s the Captain of the fantastic Lifecruiser Cyber Cruise. Why not visiting interesting great places all over the world on a cyber cruise? ;)

I enjoy SGT DUB´s blog every day. He´s one of my heros. I bet Michael would enjoy Sarge Charlie´s blog, too.

2) I´ve been to Never Too Many - they were LID April like you! WOO-HOO!!!
