My Firsts*

I saw this on Facebook and decided to steal it and do it here as I’ve basically given up on Facebook anyway. (The new ‘Friends’ page–seriously?!?! How can I possibly stalk my friends now? Wait, I mean monitor their every move, not stalk. …that didn’t come out right either.) So, here you are! Feel free to steal it if you’d like to do it on yours, just let me know and I’ll come read. :)

1. Who was your FIRST prom date?
My first boyfriend’s (Big Chief) best friend. Haha! I was friends with JT (named after Justin Timberlake for his N’SYNC-like hair) before Big Chief and I started dating, and one sunny afternoon JT and I made a pact that if all his plans to “woo the ladies” didn’t work, then I would be his date.

(JT and I are on the far right… I had no time to buy a dress so I borrowed one from my sister. haha! You can click on it to enlarge it)

2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love?
No… but that was teenage-first-boyfriend-ever kind of love. I DO talk my forever-kind-of-love every day. :) (That would be the Hubster, just in case you weren’t clear there.)

3. What was your 1st alcoholic drink?
I am proud to say that in my (almost) 24 years of life I have never touched a drop.

4. What was your FIRST job?
I was a paper girl. My route was so big (and I was so slow… I like to smell the flowers, so sue me) Big Dad had to help me deliver half my route. haha!

Well, I have yet to ‘own’ my own car (we are starting to shop now! YAY) but my first car would have to be the big blue Vanimal.

No text love today… sad.

My Hubster. I love being home for the weekend!

8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?
Ohh… she was WONDERFUL. To this day she is still one of my all-time favourite teachers. She part of the reason I have never tried smoking–she made our whole class stand up and take a pledge that we wouldn’t try smoking. I have held on to that ever since. (annnnnd she gave good tips… I delivered her paper too. haha) 9. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?
Portland, Oregon

10. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk?
That would be Gilbert, my boy-down-the-street-and-around-the-corner-and-down-the-hill. :) We don’t talk often as we used to, but I just got a message from him on Facebook this week.

(Gilbert & I at his high school grad…you can click it to make it bigger)
