There! Now hopefully you learned something you didn't know before. Here's the part where I tag 8 people. TAG!! If you haven't done it yet, you're it! (Yes, I know I broke the rules. Tiffany is not legalistic like that. My blog, my rules.) If you do it, be sure to let me know in your comment, and I will add a link to you from this post. Have fun!

I So love these things! They're so enlightening! Glad you played along ;o)
Oh - and the whole you wish you could take professional, quality photos???? Ummmmmmm - I think you already do! Are you crazy?
Very interesting! I have to say I'm with Tiffany on the whole professional photos thing. Yah, you're already doing that.
And number 4 under things you're looking forward to should say 'Our family vacation to North Carolina'/stopping by to visit my bloggy friend Caroline. I'm just sayin'.
I agree your photography skill are so impressive. Hey we love them.
I'm excited to see this quilt. Hope it makes it on to the blog.
You have lived some really interesting places. What an exciting journey you have had.

Oh girls, you're too sweet! I am happy with my pictures, and I love my little point and shoot--it's all the camera I could ever need. I'm just saying that if I had a "big girl camera" like the one you see my cousin holding down below, AND if I learned how to use the thing, there would be a BIG difference! But that's not happening any time soon. I'm fine with that.
You will have to blog about those interesting places you´ve lived!
Sounds fascinating!
Love the list...but wait, no Utah??? You could float in the Great Salt Lake and hike the mountains and eat Salt Water Taffy!!
I also regret not following through on kindnesses that flit through my brain and do not get acted upon.
