What Have You Done?

I took this challenge from Kristen's blog: Rules: Anything you have done has to be in colored, bold, and/or underlined. How much have you done? It only takes about 5 minutes…Just do it..it's fun! 1. Started your own blog 2. Slept under the stars 3. Played in a band- does a kazoo band count? We had a kazoo band that marched in the BYU homecoming parade and we won first prize for ward entry or something like that. We all had matching tee shirts. That was when Ken and I were in the same ward, but not dating yet. I remember I was starting to like him then. He played a mean kazoo. Shortly thereafter, we went on our first date . . . and the rest, as they say, is history. So I guess you can say that it all started with a kazoo! 4. Visited Hawaii 5 Watched a meteor shower 6. Been to Japan 7. Been to Disneyland 8. Climbed a mountain-trying to keep up with Jolene_______ (what was her last name?), the human mountain goat.
