Firsts

Well, I have been out of the blogging game for months now and am having a very difficult time getting back into things. It might be the fact that I still do very little in life due to exhaustion or it might be the pregnancy brain that is keeping me in a fog all the time. To help me ease back in I am copying this from my sister-in-law's blog. I hope that it isn't too boring for you.

Who was your FIRST pet?
A German Shepherd named Kizzy. I don't know if she was a purebred or anything but she was a very gentle, sweet dog.

Do you still talk to your FIRST love? Everyday! I married him almost 11 years ago.

What was your FIRST job? Growing up I mostly just helped out at home. Occasionally I would help my dad with something on the farm. I also baby-sat some. However, my first "real" job was as a para-pro in the elementary during summer school. I was in charge of helping a little boy with Down's Syndrome.

What was your FIRST car? My parents had a blazer that I drove around in high school or I drove one of the family cars. When Paul and I first married we got a Thunderbird and drove that until we were expecting our third child.

Who was the FIRST person to text or call you today? The doctor's office, I think. They called to let me know that my prenatal quad screening blood work all came back negative so everything is good there.

Who was your FIRST grade teacher? I can't remember. I can see her face and I think that her name was something like Miss Eggbert (something with egg in it), but then she got married 1/2 way through the year and I can't remember anything about that name. It is also possible that I can't remember her first name and the "egg" name came with her marriage. : )

Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? I think it was when my family went to Disneyland. I think I was about 6 years old.

Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? Jorja Cox. We don't keep in touch. I moved away when I was 8 and that was it. We do still say hello if we ever run into each other at church things but that is very rare.

Where was your FIRST sleepover?Probably at my Grandma Jean's house. When my younger sister was born I guess I was jealous and stepped on or kicked her in the head so my Grandma took me to her house for some extra TLC. I don't remember it but that is the story. I was 2 1/2.

Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? I don't know. I think it was to my oldest telling him to be quiet. He was beating out rhythms on my bathroom counter while I was still in bed trying to sleep!

Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time? I have never been "in" a wedding. I don't even remember attending one until I was about 14.

What was the FIRST thing you did this morning? Helped my daughter put her hair in pig tails for school.

What was the FIRST concert you ever went to? I have never been to a concert.

FIRST set of stitches and how? I never had stitches until I was 18 years old and got my wisdom teeth out.

First piercing? My ears when I was twelve.

First foreign country you've been to? Canada--the only foreign country I've been to.

FIRST movie you remember? I am having a hard time remembering. Like Michelle, I think I remember seeing the Fox and the Hound in the theaters.

What was your FIRST bike? I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 8 or 9. I think my first bike was pink and white with a banana seat, but that's all I can remember.

What was your FIRST computer? I had an old Mac computer of my dad's when I went to college.

Who was your FIRST roommate? Candice was the first name of my room roommate. I can't remember her last name. I also was roomies with Alison, Ilene, Colleen and Carey. They all became some of my best friends and made those two years of single college life fantastic. I still keep in touch with a few of them and I love it.

Well, that is about all you're going to get from me. I had a hard time with some of these. My memory is rather faulty as it is, but you add the fogginess of pregnancy brain and it is amazing I could think of the answers at all.

Anyway congrats!!! You amaze me!!

Michelle said...

I'm glad you did a new post. It's nice to hear from you, even though you're not feeling so great. I hope it gets better soon. I'm so glad you married your first love, so we could be sisters (in-law)!

Colleen said...

Kristin,
I enjoyed this post! It was fun to learn some new things about you! And just so you know - I loved the years we were roomies. We had so much fun! I wish we could all live close together forever, but I guess we'll just have to be grateful for the internet! I hope you're feeling well & enjoying (if that's possible) your pregnancy!

Ilene said...

Poor girl. What we go through to get a cute little baby.

I know that Ilene girl was totally your favorite roommate. Despite what Colleen or Alison may say.
