His abs (don't laugh, it was important to my 18 year old self, still is...)
His smile
His ambition
His sense of humor.
His total lack of fashion sense (Seriously, he though it was OK to wear outdoor gear every day. He actually got mad at me when I asked him why he wore day hikers to work. He responded, "these are approach shoes!!" Still not sure what approach shoes are...Now he is my 'Ken' doll, and I get to dress him every day.)

You make me chuckle. I need to get your number from Michelle because I am still hoping you want to experiment on Eden, which works much to my benefit. My number is 302-1785.

I love your lists. And, I agree completely on your "hot" list. Christian Bale ROCKS!! And I totally agree on the guy from Pride and prejudice. No one has agreed with me on that one, but I can always count on you.

Rachael... Fond memories of Rocky point huh? Are you sure your family was with you? I recall some 'other' stories about rocky point!!! BUSTED!!!

O.K., you are seriously amazing! As much as I think tags are SO annoying, they are always so fun to read.

Christian Bale is my fave guy too!! Love him and think he is such a great actor. Plus he's hot! Colin Firth is great too! (try www.IMDB.com)-the best!

Sadly, we differ on beef. Beef is just to hard for me to cook and eat. Unless, it is filet mignon or ground beef.

I would love to hear you play the violin!

Soo... if I had read this blog before I left my last comment I would've seen that you're already planning a trip to Europe. Maybe we can meet you there.
