1. Who was your first prom date? never went to prom... but I went to Horizon's Formal (way after my time) with Andy!

2. Who was your first roommate? Raquel

3. What was your first alcoholic drink? I tried my dad's beer, off his back bumper when we were out cutting firewood? Otherwise I'd say a good gancia batido or cidra was surely first!

4. What was your first job? other than your typical babysitting, I did miscellaneous office work & more at the Parkdale Child Development Center!

5. What was your first car? Ford Fiesta

6. Who was the first person you texted today? *makes faces* not sure I texted anyone, today... Michael sent me a text!?

7. Who is the first person you thought of this morning? thoughts? wow... that's a tough one, I'd say Jesus... I try and go straight ti Him, first thing... works wonders!

9. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane? I'm gonna guess it was Argentina

10. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with? I don't know if I ever technically snuck out of my house. I know that once the Siefert girls & I actually left the backyard campout to go TPing.

11. Who was your first best friend and are you still friends with them? ha! well, I don't know how tight Sara and I were in those crib days... but we're still pretty tight despite all the curve balls life threw at us, and we threw at eachother.

18. First crush? *giggle* ok, full-fledged, I can't shake this boy from my head for like months/years on end? hands down Marshall Farnsworth. But before that really settled in there were plenty of boys who struck my fancy... most notably Kyle Miller (in the first grade) and Chris (from pre-school/The Mills')

19. When was your first detention? ha! I never got detention. Mr. Radley tried... but couldn't get away with it, when I called him on his own tardy issue, and got the entire 7th & 8th grade classes to join me in taking that stand... and also gave a copy to the principal. yeah, that sort of put an end to that one!

20. What was the first state you lived in? I think my 'rents stayed at my grandparent's for a skosh in Washington... but quickly moved into the first apartment here (just across the river) in Oregon.

21. Who was the first person to break your heart? wow... um, well... we could possibly count the aforementioned long-living neighbor-boy crush, or the more likely trueness of it all that revealed itself only more recently... I seriously, never saw that coming!
