TotalSocial linkup

 Hello :)

Yes I know, it's been a bit since I have been here.  Things have been busy, and are just now winding down.

Anyhow, I am linking up with Brenda to do a total social linkup.  I have never done one of these before, but she did it and it looked fun, so here we go!

First movie I saw in a theater: I have this memory of my grandmother taking my brother and I to see maybe Snow White.  But I don't really remember us watching the movie, just us talking about it in the car.  The first movie I really remember going to see at the movies is Hoosiers, which was a good movie, but I hate sports, so I hate that I remember it.

First Professional sporting event:  I have many memories of Tiger basketball and Tiger football.  Most of them involve me taking a book so I wouldn't be bored to death.

First best friend:  I had 2 neighborhood friends that I played with, Lauren and Ginny.  My first school friend was Shelby in Kindergarten.

First bike- I remember getting a purple bike when I was very little, and of course, the Christmas I got it was one of the coldest.

First literary obsession: I was very obsessed with the Ramona books, and the movies.  Also, I remember loving, loving, loving The Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley High.

First date:  A group of us in school went to a dance at school one Friday night.  Wahoo.

First album you bought for yourself:  I remember getting to pick out albums that my parents or grandparents were going to buy me.  These albums included Amy Grant, Reba, and New Kids On The Block, but the first one I paid for was Madonna's Like A Prayer.

First Concert:  Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.  Don't judge.

First international destination:  My grandparents took their three grandchildren to England and Scotland when we were 9, 9, and 11.  It was pretty sweet.

First car:  The first car my parents bought for us was a 1985 Honda Accord.  It was a piece.  The first car I picked out for myself was a 1999 Honda Civic, and then later, I picked out a 2006 Honda Civic.  I am looking to break the Honda streak.

First real job:  When I was 12, I was hired to babysit some neighborhood kids after school.  I made $25 a week, and I thought I was rich.

First roommate:  When I moved into college, I lived with a girl named Lisa.  It was a good experience because I had never shared a room or anything with another person.

First home of my own:  When I was 24, and literally turning 25 days later, I moved into an apartment with the daughter of a coworker.  I was young and naive, and hadn't ever lived on my own before, so it was a real growing experience for me.  She was used to living by herself and had to get used to me.  We figured out that I am a very hard person to live with.  We lived together 4 months, and then  I moved into a cheaper apartment by myself.  It was cute and cozy, but the neighborhood was going downhill.  I lived there about 4 years and then I moved.

First day as a blogger:  April 17, 2014.  This originally started as a class assignment, but I have decided to keep it going.


First tweet:  It was from January 25, 2009.  It said " I am at home, and I am about to go to a friend's house".  I have no recollection of whose house it was, and why I felt the need to tweet that.....

This was fun :)
