I love these! It's crazy some of the things we have in common (exactly the same) and then in some ways I'm completely the opposite (I HATE being the center of attention and dread when I have to be). I actually wrote down that for some reason I crave doing back handsprings, but then I erased it! That's crazy to me because I don't remember ever talking about that!!

You are fun!! I too stuggle with trying to be trendy, but am way too preppy at heart. Can't stop the Polo's with the collars up..:) You sound super fun to be around and I love reading your up-dates.

Cody,
Really there are none in town, but there are always people in town for special events like SING. You have to take a number to see the Kadane's. Brent and I are trying to recruit them to be old fogies and watch scary movies instead of going out with the "cool" people.
