Have You Ever...

Celebrated your 20th birthday floating down the Seine in Paris
Watched a grown man cry like a baby the first time he prayed and cried right along with him
Branded a cow with a hot iron and watched its meatballs taken off
Ridden in a hot air balloon over Provo
Eaten at Gandolfo’s in your full cap and gown
Watched baby alligators being born at an alligator farm
Pet dolphins backstage at Walt Disney World
Planted the world’s largest baring tomato tree
Sung in the Christmas production at Walt Disney World
Been featured on a live Canadian French TV show
Gone to the top of the snow-capped Pyrenees
Learned to make chocolate in the basement of a jewelry shop in Switzerland
Walked though Ann Franks hiding room in Amsterdam
Seen the Mona Lisa
Seen Cats, The Lion King, Chicago, and Les Miserables in London
Gone to Easter Mass at Notre Dame de Paris
Mud wrestled in nothing but heart boxers and a tank top
Watched Titanic and counted how many times Jack and Rose said each other’s names
Gone on a 2500 mile road trip with your dad, twice
Played air guitar in your living room wearing only your bathing suit
Gone snorkeling and kayaking in the Caribbean
Had a song written about you
Tried pole vaulting
Stood solemnly in the American Cemetery in Normandy while The Star Spangled Banner was played over the loud speakers
Enjoyed Italian gilatto on the bridges of Venice
Hiked through 5 fishing villages along the cliffs of the Italian Riviera
Swam in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean
Stood in the homes of Leonardo de Vinci and Claude Monet
Sung in a small jazz group, performing and competing all over Southern California
Took off on a spur of the moment 22 hour road trip to Nauvoo, Chicago, and Wisconsin with three people you met the night before
Almost gotten blown off the top of a light house in St. Augustine, FL
Gone on a road trip to Yellowstone to break the news to your old roommate that you had killed her fish
Attended church at a hotel that had elephants and giraffes on the chandeliers above you
Chased peacocks around a park in France so you could have a feather
Been shark fishing
Recorded your own CD in a recording studio

Can you believe I have!! Leave a post if you remember being a part of any of these awesome memories :)
