Oh fun post! I might have to try this one sometime! P.S. I have an award for you on my blog check it out!

Wow. You've done a ton! I feel like a loser! Ha ha!

Yes, of course I remember our totally-insanely-awesome Dudstrom band. We were cool. In fact, I think I have a picture of it. Want me to post it? ;0)

And I saw that you didn't underline the "gone skinny dipping" thing OR the "amish community" thing. Quite frankly, I don't believe you haven't gone skinny dipping. You used to brag about it all the time ;0)

Secondly, how can you be Amish and not have been to an Amish Community?!

Fun post. I think I will give it a whirl.

Dang girl! You've done quite a bit. I wish I would have gone on that Europe trip with you guys!!!
