Part 2 in a series of 100 Things About Me. Read the first 10 items here.
11) I am an only child. I mean, I’m the only GIRL. Growing up, I thought that meant the same thing.
Photo evidence that I am an only child.
12) I love flying. I get it from my dad.
A very tall man in a very little plane. Everybody point!
13) Even though I’ve gotten to fly in lots of different planes, I really want to ride in one of these:
Anyone have one I can borrow?
14) My parents were missionaries in the Philippines, where everybody spoils white kids by giving them water buffaloes. I mean candy.
Where’s MY water buffalo?
15) We lived on a coffee plantation and climbed cocoa trees for fun. I know. This explains a lot.
Forget about the toothless kid. That’s a COFFEE tree I’m standing by!
16) I am not responsible for my addictions (see #15). I like my coffee light and my chocolate dark.
Best coffee mug caption ever.
17) My dream is to take my family back to the Philippines. In a hot air balloon.
The view from the hot air balloon is spectacular!

My mom has great taste in men. Just like her daughter.
