Parts of Me

The other day I was thinking that I love to do so many things... but I never have time to keep up on all my hobbies and interests because there are so many of them (sigh). As I was thinking about it, I realized that most of the things I love, I was introduced to by my family/good friends/boyfriends. So I thought I'd make a list of things I love to do and those who helped me see the light:

Soccer: Mom and Dad
Piano: Mom

Rock Climbing/Repelling: Jon Johnson

I guess the lesson here is be open to trying new things! I can't believe how many things I have been exposed to over the years. I'm so grateful I have so many hobbies and interests... and because of that I can generally always say "I've done that before." Thank you everyone! :)
