My first, my last, my everything....

Sometimes I only get the chance to blog once a week. And since I can't always get up the motivation to think of a topic, it's nice to have other friends to blog with so we can take turns. I enjoy being challenged to write about stuff that might not normally come to mind and also reading everyone else's thoughts on the same topic. Blog Project 3.0 has been going on for about a year now, even though one of the group members changed after a few months. I love blogging with this group and I hope we can continue to inspire each other.

This week I chose the topic: Five Firsts and Five Lasts (you can choose whatever you want for each separately or do a comparison for each.)

First, read what everyone else had to share on this topic:
Darwin Shrugged
Froggie
Moma Rock

When I read People magazine, I love the last page where they ask celebrities what their last of something was, such as the last time they laughed, spent money, had a dream, etc. It's a cool way to get to know them on a different level. Also, a while back, my blog idols Liz and Lisa asked their visiting authors about firsts and lasts. I was reading their questions and having a hard time coming up with my answers to them. However, I thought it would be a fun, and yet somewhat challenging topic for this group. I decided to go the comparison route.

First movie I saw in a theater: Mary Poppins when I was about three years old, even though I was apparently scared of the dark and didn't want to stay. (At least my parents were smart and took me out instead of letting me cry a lot and ruin other theatergoers' experiences.)

Last movie I saw in a theater: Big Hero 6, which was fantastic! My three-year-old sat so well the entire time, so it was the other patrons who couldn't keep their kids from attempting to ruin everyone else's experiences.

First time I flew on a plane: My second trip to Florida for Disney World when I was six years old. My (late) maternal grandma came with us too.

Last time I flew on a plane: Home from my most recent trip to Disney World in 2013. While I was with my parents and sister for most of the trip, I also shared the experience with my husband and kids.

First thing I posted on Facebook: A bunch of pics of my older son when he was a toddler back in summer 2007, when we lived in NJ.

Last thing I posted on Facebook: A timehop pic of my first trip to DC. After going on this trip, I decided I wanted to move out to this area. Less than a year later and we had a house and established our lives here pretty quickly after moving in.
Side note: I love that the monument reflects in the pool. On my most recent visit to the Lincoln Memorial, it was too cloudy to get any reflection. 


First job: Babysitting. If that doesn't count, then the Chinese restaurant job.

Last job: The job I will be celebrating five years at in December....working for a local Jewish non-profit. It's amazing how much has changed in five years between staff coming and going and a new office space.

First thing I did this year: Played board games with some close friends of ours. This lasted until about 1:00 a.m. after 2014 started.

Last thing I did this year (as of tonight): Aside from writing this blog post, I watched Jane the Virgin. I'm an episode behind at the moment, but will be caught up soon. Such a fun show!
