okay one thing I'd do is plant some trees perhaps through a donation to the ArborDay Foundation and do some more micro-credit financing in third-world countries, pay off my mortgage, buy some shoes, cars and bicycles for some pastor friends in Honduras and what else, eh?? Going to have to work on this plan!

I would indulge in my all-time favorite passion, international travel. We'd go to all the places I've been meaning to see but haven't had the time/money, plus all the places I want to go back to and visit. Our family would also go with us, to wherever they wanted to go.

I would donate a huge portion of the $1m to my alma mater to fund the international education department and study abroad programs.

I would buy an affordable house. I'd get a new car for me, and a new car for Mark, both paid for in full upfront. I'd stock up on all sorts of baby things for when we finally start our family.

I would let Mark buy all the DVDs and CDs and books that he wanted, and I'd indulge him and let him buy video game stuff, too.

And I'd buy NEW furniture. Not hand-me-down stuff, not cheapy, bought-it-at-Target stuff. NEW, GOOD furniture!

I would start a foundation or scholarship grant although that may be considered an investment. Otherwise, I would play one hand of poker and bet it all just to see what happens...
