    You surprised me with number 4. The Messiah has always been a favorite in our house. I have been hearing it a lot on TV this year,

    Your answer to number 4 is hilarious. Where did this come from? There must be a story you’re not sharing.

    Growing up, I always wanted a pet monkey.

      The mini giraffes are from a Direct TV ad I think—I adore them and want a couple of my own. 🙂

    I tried learning how to drive a manual not that long ago – let’s just say between my hubby’s powerful car and his almost heart-attack when teaching me – it didn’t go so well!!! I’ll stick to automatic until I can find a calmer teacher, thank you very much!!! 🙂 LOve that tiny giraffe that would be an awesome pet!

      Chris was very patient teaching me and it was one of those cases that I had to learn if I was going to go anywhere for 2 weeks while he was gone for reserve duty. I drove off and on for years and then had Micah’s car which was a manual for an entire year driving it daily. I am sure it would come back to me but it has been awhile. There might be some stalling!

    I never learned to drive a manual car and when my son bought his first car it was a manual so I couldn’t borrow it.

    My hubby has been saying I should learn to drive a manual too. He was a driving instructor once so he actually would be a great teacher. Except…..who will watch the kids, because I am pretty sure they should Not be in the car while I learn!
    Baby giraffe is welcome though because that is just the cutest ever!
