11, 12, 13

Been SUPER busy the last few days. Not complaining though.  It's been a good week. :)  Yesterday I got to spend some time with Ruben, got to help a friend, and the girls and I painted some arts and crafts stuff and they told me all about their day.

SOO, now it's time to catch back up.

11 your first kiss
12 your favorite memory
13 your favorite birthday

11 - Your first kiss

Well, that depends on which one you're talking about, haha.  The first REAL kiss?  Or the very first kiss that wasn't family?  Funny thing is, they were the same person ;)  lol.  I went to Kindergarten out in Spiro, Oklahoma - and while out on the playground one day one of my little boy friends and I hid out in the giant tire, and he kissed me.  Yeah, I still remember that, haha.

Well, then we moved into Fort Smith, to the house mom and dad are still in, and I thought I'd never see him again.  Not that it would have been the end of the world or anything, ya know?  I was still little, so it wasn't a huge deal.  Well, turns out the family we moved in next to was that little boys Grnadpa and Grandma, haha.  So we discovered that one summer, and hung out ALL THE TIME during the summer.  We'd get up early and just hang out around the neighborhood being crazy kids. Well, my parents had these storage sheds out in the back yard FOREVER, and we went out behind them one day, and again he kissed me - except this time I actually kissed back ;)  Yeah, we were really good friends FOREVER, so it was a little weird, but it was nice.

I haven't really seen them since we graduated high school and his grandpa (I think it was) passed away.  I've heard he's doing pretty good though, which makes me happy. :)  He deserves it.  He was a really great guy.

12 - Your favorite memory

I think that one is a little hard to pin down.  I've had some GREAT times.  Between trips with family, and school trips, there are really too many to pick just one. SOOO, I'm gonna write a list of my favorite memories. :)

The orchestra trip to St. Lewis
The orchestra trip to Colorado
The family Cruise trip to the Bahamas
The family trip to New York

And if I had to pick just one of those trips to be the FAVORITE favorite, I think it'd have to be the Orchestra trip to Colorado.  We won a special award, hung out with friends in the snow skiing and enjoying each others company, and just had a great time overall.  I miss those trips, something fierce.  Time with great friends doing something that I loved doing?  Yeah, who could ask for more. :)  So yeah, I guess that would be the favorite.  I just hope the girls get to have trips like that, because it was awesome. :)

13 - your favorite birthday

Well, this one is EASY!  Now, don't get me wrong, my friends made my birthdays pretty awesome - but because my family didn't celebrate I never really got a party or anything like that.  At least, not until I graduated and met Ruben and his friends. :)  We'd only been together for a couple months (and actually, there are some dramatic details I'm going to leave out) but Ruben, Matt, Desiree, and a few other friends threw a party for me. :)  It wasn't anything HUGE, but there was cake, and gifts, and good times with friends.  And then we went to hang out at the pool hall, and did the movies, and all that.  It was awesome.  And I still have the book I was given, and it's one of my favorite books.  It was a book of Emily Dickenson poetry, and then I also got an Alice in Wonderland book too. :)  It really was an awesome birthday, and I'll never forget it.

I've had some good ones before then, and some good ones since, but that would be the one that truly takes the cake. :)
