  1. Fun! It's great to see what everyone else has done. It's interesting to see how many things everyone has in common! :)

  2. Okay Katie, I have taken such a long HIATIUS that you may not even remember from the adoption group. However I decided to take a peek at your blog and I love this post. I really made me more interested in wanting to know more about you.

    Saving someone's life, how and WHO???

    Why was your picture in the paper?

    And you have been sued, did you win? What a bugger we have been going through this one way too long!!!

    now you don't really have to answers these ?'s I was just more curious ;0)!!!

  3. Tanya,
    Of course I remember you. I check out your blog every once in a while. I have to tell you, I LOVE the new family pics you have on your blog, they are beautiful! Anyway, I know what you mean, that's the bad thing about this tag, you don't get a chance to explain. First, when I worked in daycare I gave the Hymlec(sp?) manuver to a little boy who had passed out from choking on a carrot. (I am counting it as saving his life, even though I'm not sure he would have DIED without me:)
    Second, I grew up in this tiny little town in Southern Utah, and they didn't have any real news to report, so I was in the paper several times for silly little things growing up. (like engagement, graduation, significant birthdays, getting good grades, getting a haircut while my sister was in beauty school, etc. - I'm not kidding, there is nothing better to talk about there)
    Third, I wasn't technically sued, but I was involved in a lawsuit in order to get our adoption finalized. It was a bugger.
    Thanks for asking, you are a cutie!
    Third
