first...

A lot of people don't like these kinds of things...but I tend to love them! For one thing, it's a list. Hello! We all know I love me some lists! :) But I think it's also neat to read through these...you learn some interesting, random stuff from them. Found this on Joy's blog and felt like playing along...

:: First time you got kissed. How was it? Seventh grade...a boy named Brett Kehoe. I met him at the little park in our neighborhood, under the little decorative bridge there. It was sloppy and wet and I didn't like it! He was a little on the nerdy side, but so funny. Two years later, in high school, he was one of the cool kids. Everybody wanted to date him.

:: First time you drove a car. What kind of car? 15 1/2...it was probably my mom's Ford Tempo.

:: First time you scrapbooked. When you look at your page do you love it? After watching Dronda and Fonda scrapbook for a few years, I finally started in 2000. My first stuff is really laughable. I didn't have a clue what I was doing! I still have those pages though. I am not a "re-scrapper"...

:: First time you went on a date. Where did you go and with who? Not sure, but it was probably to Freshman year Homecoming with Nick Overcamp. I think we went to dinner somewhere first...

:: First time you fell in love. How did you know? First guy I ever loved was Shannon Jones...he was my first "real" boyfriend. Looking back, it was just silly teenage love.

:: First time you cooked for someone. Was it yummy? What did you make? First thing I ever cooked for someone was snickerdoodle cookies in 8th grade. Learned how to make them in Home Ec. They were pretty yummy, but haven't made them since!

:: First time you got on a plane. Where did you go? Were you scared? I really don't remember this one. If I had to guess, I would say it was when I was 8 or 9 (?), when we went to Disneyland (world?) in Florida. I've never felt afraid flying, so I probably wasn't the first time either.

:: First time you shaved your legs. Did you cut yourself? I was 13, I think. Was so excited when my mom said I could finally do it. Hopped in the bathtub and the very first stroke was right along my shinbone, and yep, I cut myself bad. Had a scar for a long time.

:: First time you put on make up. Looking back how did you do? 13 for this too...I've never really gone too crazy with makeup. The first time was probably pretty sloppy, but nothing too out there. My "heavy mascara" phase came a little later!

:: First time you moved out of your home. Was it an apartment, house, etc? When I went to Truman State University (it was Northeast Missouri State University then)...freshman year, I lived in an all-girls dorm with my longest friend Amy...
