16. i had long blonde hair until the third grade


17. as far as i'm concerned, there are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer and football

19. i drove and moved myself to college and when i drove into the austin city limits, i felt like i was coming home

24. i also had a tiny rabbit fur coat which i wore year round


25. we had two 'last dances' at our reception (while folks lined up for the 'sending off' starting at the end of the 1st song): (1) "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Iz (a/k/a Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) (2) "I Will" by The Beatles
