So, was that you and Staci together or just you Jamon, that accomplished all that?

Especially the skinny dipping.

By the way, can you email me your address? I have a belated gift from someone for you guys.

Wow! That's pretty impressive getting half Jamon. Reading that really makes one want to do more with life. Cool.

I can't believe someone thought of that many things for an accomplishment list. Where did you get that list from anyway? Maybe the person that originally wrote it did all of those things.
Anyway, thats fun. too bad it didn't say "have gone inside the colosium in rome" then you could not bold it but put "i was there, i just didn't want to pay 8 dollars to go inside"
you know i have to just keep teasing you about that forever more!

Jamon said...

i actually copied this from michelle andelin's blog, i am proud to say i had more than her, not all the same ones though. and natalie, 8 dollars was a lot of money to me at that time in my life. :)

Jamon said...

oh and i could have walked to the top of the statue of liberty but i didn't want to wait in the long line, i was on the island and everything. i just thought of a slogan for my life, close but no cigar, has a nice regretful ring to it doesn't it :) jk

Natalie in Sparks said...

don't be offended by my teasing! who knows maybe you'll go back and the price will have gone up to 12 dollars or something....

Natalie in Sparks said...

oh, and by the way, I went to the Statue of Liberty but didn't go to the top either, so don't feel too bad!
