Cara said...

Forget my add-ons, what are your add-ons? You've done more cool things than most of us - like star in a foreign language commercial.

Vee said...

I like Cara's add-ons. You've been able to do so many cool things. I think this is the most highlighted list I have seen of this.
I didn't know that your Grandma was in my ward. That is so cool. We have some really neat older people in our ward, and now I'm dying to know who belongs to you.

You are the coolest, most awesomest (yes, MOST awesomEST!!), most loved adopted person in the world and b/c of you our family now has more coolest and awesomest adopted loved ones.

Too bad about the food poisoning. And I do have some questions about the (?)skinny dipping(?!!) I know there is a story there somewhere. Just think how many of those items on the list you will be able to check off when you get as old as me!!!

oh dear Peach, yes, that was indeed the skinny dippn story I had in mind when I highlighted the blasted thing. You know my parents saw that! Amy - don't write them out. Cut n paste then highlight the ones you've done. Doesn't take much time but brings back lots of great memories.
