Firsts...
Who was your first prom date?
Sheldon Birch. I was so NOT excited about it.
Do you still talk to your first love?
No way, Jose! But I talk to my only TRUE love every day!

I’ve never had one, unless you count cooking wine.

I was a paper carrier for the Yakima Herald Republic—fourth grade

Mitsubishi Mirage, turquoise two-door that I got right before I got married.
Who was the first person to text you today?
I’ve never sent nor received a text. I openly admit to being technologically challenged.
Who is the first person you thought of this morning?
Stephanie. I debated whether to call her and tell her I couldn’t go running but since I already took a sick day yesterday, I pulled myself out of bed.
Who was your first grade teacher?
Mrs. McElrath
Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
I’m pretty sure it was California on a plane we affectionately called the big banana because it was bright yellow. I don’t know my age but I’m guessing around 5.
When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
Never did it.
Who was your FIRST best friend and are you still friends with them?
I think it was Sara Kindelspire. I don’t keep in touch with her but my mom sees her often as they work at the same school.

I’m not sure but I think it was probably with Sara.
Who was the first person you talked to this morning?
Stephanie. She’s the first person I talk to every weekday morning.

Jen Bounds. I was a bridesmaid and flew to San Diego for the wedding. The wedding was fun but bitter memories accompany the experience because my luggage was lost and never found.
What was the first thing you did this morning?
Went to the bathroom. It’s the first thing I do every morning.
First tattoo or piercing?
Earrings at age four. I’ll never do a tattoo.
Who was your first kiss?
Jim Maine.
When was your first detention?
I was a senior in high school and got Saturday Work Force. That’s actually a good story that I should document some time.

Washington

Besides my sister, it was Alison Akin. We shared a room all four years of college.
Fours…
4 jobs I have had in my life:
- Cherry picker and irrigation pipe mover.
- Receptionist at a Dr. office—probably my favorite teenage job.
- Custodian—It was a job we did as a family. We cleaned a very large Red Cross every weekday night. I was in charge of the garbage which included emptying bags of hazardous materials that had been sterilized in an autoclave. Those bags were always warm, smelly and seeping some sort of liquid.
- First grade teacher
4 movies I've watched more than once:
- The Princess Bride—once knew every word. I even wanted a son named Westley.
- The Music Man—once knew every word. I wasn’t a Shirley Jones fan but sure loved Robert Preston.
- Pete’s Dragon—loved it as a kid and can remember staying in the theatre to watch a second showing.
- Goonies
- Yakima,WA
- Rexburg, ID
- Provo, UT
- Auburn, WA
- American Idol
- Biggest Loser
- Amazing Race
- American Gladiators—I have a secret dream of being a contender. I saw the show live as a kid and was thrilled to see it return to TV.
4 places I have been:
- Xela, Guatemala
- Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico
- Niagara Falls
- Bear, Delaware—not many people can say that.
- Stephanie
- Camille
- Holly
- Jackie
- Avocado—it makes everything better.
- Caramel in any form.
- Crab—especially with pasta and a creamy garlic sauce.
- Northwest berries and peaches
- Anywhere with Jon.
- Asleep in bed.
- Getting a pedicure or massage.
- Having lunch with friends.
- BYU vs. UW in Sept.
- Hopefully a spring break trip to Utah

This is fun! I can't believe you have all those pictures. I don't have a single dance or school picture here.
We were planning a trip to Utah this year...maybe we'll meet you for Spring Break. And, I guess I win since I LIVED in Bear, DE!
Fun to read! But you look WAY to young to be dating in that picture!
That was fun! Like you, I usually never respond but I like reading them. They are even better with a few pictures! I love the prom pic. You look the same, only better!
