First Things First

Today I'm linking up with Halie and Hallie for First Things First!

Because the first things are always a tad awkward, little bit weird and usually funny.

1. First Trip Out of the Country:

Niagra Falls, Canada - somewhere around 1995.

Family vacation that I hardly remember since I was so young. I think I was 4 maybe 5.

I do remember our car being searched upon reentry to the US, that was exciting =)

2. First Major purchase on Your Own:

How major are we talking? 

I spent $500 on my first laptop just after I graduated bootcamp. That was pretty major for me. And when I got done with all my training I made my first major major purchase with this bad boy:

I named him Jack and was soooo sad to part with my baby when we moved to Japan! 

1. First thing you learned to cook:

Spaghetti... boil noodles, throw jar of sauce on on burner, and voila!

Seriously.. we ate spaghetti religiously for the first 3-6 months  of our marriage. I think my husband is very thankful that I've learned to cook a few other dishes. His subtle way of telling me to learn consisted of giving me a cookbook anytime gift-giving was warranted.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
