I'm so glad you were able to share a hug with her to make it more special.<br /><br />Firsts are the best feeling - the thrill of the unknown, the excitement of doing something new. I'll never forget my first parachute jump (even if it was tandem) but the thrill of that had me not eating for 2 days before just in case I got sick!<br /><br />CONGRATS!!!<br /><br />CathCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322007107036171737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-50885240962328272642011-11-19T06:35:58.268+11:002011-11-19T06:35:58.268+11:00Hi Marybelle - the first kiss???
