03. Climbed a mountain--Outdoorsy I am not.
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive - Nope, can't drive a stick.
05. Been to the Great Pyramids – Sorry, again no. Wow I guess I’ve lived a pretty dull indoor life huh?

1. Bought everyone in the bar a drink-- No. I am not that generous. LOL

1. Bought everyone in the bar a drink-- Yes, but there were only 4 people there, and they were dollar beers, so it was easy
02. Swam with wild dolphins-- No, but how DH and I would love to. Some day!
03. Climbed a mountain--Yes, I live in WA, so we have no choice to get almost anywhere...JK. Yes, two smaller peaks in our area that took a day each. My quads are still thanking me!
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive - No, but DH sat in one in Italy. I think he found his new greatest love.
05. Been to the Great Pyramids – NO. My F.I.L. went and said it stunk to high heaven of camel dung and the pyramids are horribly vandelized. How sad.
06. Held a tarantula – Not for all the money in the world
07. Taken a candlelit bath with someone - Yes, but I fell asleep and a candle caught the shower curtain on fire. It wasn't so relaxing.
08. Said “I love you’ and meant it - Many times a day.
09. Hugged a tree - Yes! Trees do indeed need love. They give us so much and we just take take take!
10. Bungee jumped – No. I was going to for my b-day one year, but the person in front of me went and his cord got tangled and had to be rescued. I decided that sometimes God sends you a message as a gentle hint and sometimes he slaps you right across the face! LOL

1. Bought everyone in the bar a drink-- No. Are you kidding? We're saving money so we can adopt!
02. Swam with wild dolphins-- No but we watched some other people swim with some on our honeymoon in Mexico.
03. Climbed a mountain--Yes. Kevin climbed mountains in Hawaii, and both of us climbed Bandera and Capulin volcanos in New Mexico.
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive - No, but does a Mustang count? (see avatar) However, Kevin has flown in an F-16 (and even was at the controls for a short time).
05. Been to the Great Pyramids – No, but Violet's cousin sent pictures of her on a camel at them. And, Violet has a Web cam bookmarked that shows the pyramids.
06. Held a tarantula – Violet has, and Kevin has been bitten by a brown recluse spider.
07. Taken a candlelit bath with someone - No, but we bathe on a regular basis.
08. Said “I love you’ and meant it - Yes every day
09. Hugged a tree - Yes. The photographer who took our engagement photos had us pose hugging a tree. How awkward. We both wanted to hug the tree that got partially uprooted by a storm if that would have prevented it from falling on our house. (Thankfully, it didn't.)
10. Bungee jumped – NOT even for a million bucks.
