Loved your list!! We have lots in common!! So glad you made this list! It's a great way to get to know you better! I love knowing random facts about people. :)
sarah, nice list...it reminded me alot of some of my favs/dislikes. wanna go for a swim in the columbia river?
Way to go Sarah! I'm very impressed. Learned some good facts about you! I didn't know that you were in a beauty contest. Love that you put pictures next to your comments. No wonder I like you so much. Lots in common! Thanks for all your time taking to do this! Enjoyed it lots!
I LOVE IT! I thouroughly enjoyed reading that. I'm going to try and do it on my blog...although mine won't have as many neat-o pictures. You need to teach me how to do that. Do you realize I'll get to see you in like 2 weeks? YAY!
Deb
I'm glad no one was bored out of their minds reading my list. I thought Kim was amazing for doing her's and didn't realize how hard it was until I sat down to do it myself. It would be interesting to see how much our husbands knew about us. Sometimes it's interesting to do these things with them to see their answers too.
Deb- I can't believe it's only two weeks until Tuck's graduation! Can't wait to see you guys. Yikes, I hope it's not too hot.
Sarah, you are so talented. I really wish we were closer in High School.
Pet Peeve you missed: "Yes, I live in Irrigon, Oregon."
Sarah, I LOVE YOUR LIST! I loved it so much I made a list about your list.
1. We have the piano thing (#9) in common, and I was wondering if you play daily? I don't but I should.
2. I was wondering what songs specifically make you cry? (#12)
3. You are NOT BORING! You are FUN! (#24)
4. I will NEVER forget your family sealing. So super special!
I started bawling when Kendle came in.
5. The sheet music store. That cracks me up. Where is your favorite place to buy music and what is your favorite thing to play lately?
6. Ditto on #10 pet peeves. Seriously people, don't let your dog poop in other people's yards. It doesn't get much ruder than that!
Excellent list!
Sarah,
Thanks for the comment on my blog! You have been added to my favorites. Marilyn has always had the most wonderful things to say about you and your sweet family. I'm not sure if you remember me or not, but my family and I were at one of Marilyn's parties a couple of years ago that you also attended. I think we have run into eachother at Target also.
This was a great list! I learned a lot about you! I hear you on the "strangers asking personal questions." That seems to be happening a lot lately and it's driving me crazy!
I'm excited about being in your ward. Riley and I went to highschool together when neither of us were members of the church. Amazing that we will be in the same ward!
Nan- Excellent point, how did I forget to add that one? I wish we would have known each other better in high school too, but I still feel like I've known you my whole life.
Marilyn- I don't play the piano daily, especially if I havn't bought new music in a while. I go to the music store in Richland, can't think of the name off the top of my head but it's one of the only places that I know of anymore that actually sells sheet music. I order online too from sheetmusicplus.com. They have quite a selection. My favorite music to play lately is some I have from the Fray and Keane, (actually I got them months ago) but I love the music from Rent, Jim Brickman, I've got some Michael Buble....Songs that make me cry when I hear them are "In my life" by the Beatles, "When you say nothing at all" by Alison Krause, and for some reason "Come,Come Ye Saints" always does it to me too.
Danyelle- (Sorry I'm probably totally spelling your name wrong), but thanks for the comments. I do totally remember you. It is really amazing that you and Riley both being converts, will end up in the same ward after all of these years. I love stories like that. Good luck on all of the packing and moving, it will all be worth it.
Sarah, you spelled Danyelle's name perfectly.
Come Come Ye Saints makes me cry every time too. I have an AWESOME piano arrangement of that song that is so fun to play. I will have to make a copy for you when I bring you back your movie music book that I have had like for over a YEAR!
How did your bread turn out? Did your family like it? Did you give away all your bags? Fun, huh? :)
Kim-
The bread is delicious! My family loved it. It's great that it makes two loaves because I went down to help my mom who's been sick and made the bread there. My little brother and sister gobbled the first loaf up and I brought the other home with me so Riley could try it. Thanks a bunch!
Sarah,
I loved reading your list it is so fun to learn more about people.
I am with you on the whole not liking deep water that you cannot see anything in. That always creeps me out. This was a fun read.
