Congrats to Joshua and Daniel!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Who was your FIRST prom date?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have yet to go to my FIRST prom.  So who knows.  Maybe someday as a chaperone?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love?<\/strong><br \/>\nI should hope so. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place\u2014unless you repent.&#8221;<br \/>\n~Revelation 2:4-5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>3. What was your FIRST job?<\/strong><br \/>\nWashing dishes for my pastor&#8217;s wife and across-the-street neighbor.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 4. What was your FIRST car?<\/strong><br \/>\nBenedick (Benny D for short), named after Benedick in &#8220;Much Ado about Nothing.&#8221;  Benny was a good, faithful Chevy Cavalier.  He served me until the day he died.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>5. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?<\/strong><br \/>\nAnna, asking if I was awake :-)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>6. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning?<\/strong><br \/>\nDunno.  Probably myself :-(<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?<\/strong><br \/>\nMary Menter, although I called her Mom<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?<\/strong><br \/>\nNowhere.  It was a Wycliffe plane and we just circled about Seward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Who was your FIRST best friend? <\/strong><br \/>\nBethany, whose last name I no longer remember.  We had matching baby dolls, thanks to her mother.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. What was your FIRST sport played?<\/strong><br \/>\nNever played sports.  Sorry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Where was your FIRST sleep over?<\/strong><br \/>\nLikely at my cousin Ariann&#8217;s house.  Either that or at Anna&#8217;s best friend Amanda&#8217;s house.  Or maybe at Yvonne&#8217;s (a lady in our church who had three boys but no girls&#8211;now she has a girl!)<\/p>\n<p><strong> 12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?<\/strong><br \/>\nAnna.  When you live with only one other person, the options tend to be limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time?<\/strong><br \/>\nAnna and I were flower girls at my Aunt Nellie&#8217;s wedding.  <\/p>\n<p> <strong>14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning?<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore or after I got out of bed?  Turned off my alarm and the electric blanket before laying in bed for another hour.  But after I got, I made my bed.  It&#8217;s a flylady habit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. What was the FIRST actual concert you ever went to?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat does that mean, &#8220;actual&#8221; concert?  My pastor&#8217;s wife took my sister and I to see an orchestral performance when we were in late elementary school.  Otherwise? Er..dunno.  I&#8217;m not much of a rock concert person.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>16. FIRST tattoo and\/or piercing?<\/strong><br \/>\n Ears pierced at age 8?  Infection set in soon after and the ears have been mostly shut since.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. FIRST foreign country you went to?<\/strong><br \/>\nMexico.  Hasn&#8217;t everyone?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>18. What was your FIRST run in with the law?<\/strong><br \/>\n??? I&#8217;m coming up blank.  I got a warning for speeding while coming into downtown a few months back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19. When was your FIRST detention?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s detention?<\/p>\n<p><strong>20. What was the FIRST state you lived in?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe only state I&#8217;ve lived in longer than a couple of months&#8211;Nebraska<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. Who was the FIRST person to break your heart?<\/strong><br \/>\nKyle P.  He moved to Germany with his family when I was 7.  Heartbroken young lass.  Who would I climb trees with anymore?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>22. Who was your FIRST roommate?<\/strong><br \/>\nAnna.  We&#8217;ve pretty much shared either a room or a home for all our lives.  (Sans a year when she was in college and I was in Bible school and a year when she was working while I was in grad school.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>23. When was your FIRST real kiss?<\/strong><br \/>\nHaven&#8217;t had it yet.  Virgin lips here&#8211;and proud of it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>25. When was your FIRST birthday?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy first (and only) birthday was March 14, 1985.  I celebrated the first ANNIVERSARY of my birthday on March 14, 1986.  (I&#8217;m such a smart-alek.)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>26. Who was your FIRST serious boyfriend\/girlfriend?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll pass on that one.  I&#8217;ve never dated non-seriously, but I&#8217;d rather not drag old boyfriends into my blog.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 27. What was your FIRST word?<\/strong><br \/>\nDunno.  Mom could maybe help us out on that one.  I do know that my sister&#8217;s first word was actually a sentence: &#8220;I don&#8217;t want that&#8221; referring to some food she was being fed.  Mom and Dad couldn&#8217;t figure out whether to be excited or upset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28. What was your FIRST surgery? <\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been told the exploratory thing-a-ma-jig doesn&#8217;t count as a surgery &#8217;cause I didn&#8217;t get cut open, so it&#8217;d have to be the nose job.  Now I can breathe.  It&#8217;s exciting.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>29. Who will be the FIRST to respond this?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amber filled out this &#8220;first&#8221; meme last night&#8211;and I&#8217;m thrilled that she did. &#8216;Cause it seems just long enough to quickly fill out before I jaunt to Lincoln to see my FIRST (and second) brother graduate from college.
