Meme: Tell Us About Your Year

radbooks gave me the year

1992

I turned 35 in June of 1992, and celebrated 12 years of marriage in August of that year. Other than that, if I recall correctly,1992 was a fairly quiet year for me. Which was a good thing, because we were living overseas in Pakistan at the time, and the fact that nothing really significant happened over there (that I can recall) was definitely a good thing, lol!

During the course of 1992:

• We lived in HERE -- where we were among the staff teaching at a technical training and Bible school.
  
• We drove around the country in THIS -- only ours was older and not as nice as this. ;-) Some of the places we visited were villages where the students who boarded at the technical training school were from, many of which looked just like THIS. A lovely time was had by all when we went out on such visits, because even when the drive out was a bit of an adventure, we were always rewarded by wonderful hospitality that included chai and tasty curry and good conversation. ;-)
  
• Our son attended boarding school for part of that year, finishing 3rd grade and starting 4th grade.
  
• We spent the summer months of 1994 HERE in order to get out of the heat. Our summer place was pretty ramshackle -- an old building built during the British Raj -- but we got to look out upon scenes like THIS every day, so that made up for it!
• The Pakistan Cricket team led by Imran Khan won the World Cup Championship.  We still don't quite understand how the game of cricket works, but we do know this -- it was a very big deal that year to win the World Cup, even bigger than the Super Bowl is to Americans, lol!
  
• In December of that year, after the usual rigamarole and red tape runaround getting our passports renewed in a foreign country and getting reentry visas granted and stamped in, we returned to the States in time for Christmas, for a six month stay before going back overseas.

A few interesting things happened in the US during that year, which we heard about on the radio:

• I think there were elections happening.  ;-)  Bill Clinton eventually was elected president that year, defeating George Bush the elder and Ross Perot.  We voted by absentee ballot, as I recall.
• In Wisconsin news, a thing happened in the fall of 1992 that came to be quite significant to all of us Cheeseheads -- Brett Favre was traded to the Green Bay Packers, and began his long exciting career as a starting quarterback with my favorite team.  Here's some trivia for you -- did you know that Brett Favre's first pass as a Green Bay Packer was a completion to himself?  :-D

That's all I can think of for the year of 1992!

If you would like to do this meme, let me know and I'll give you a year.  Feel free to comment on my year, even if you don't want to do the meme yourself!
