Life by Number

I saw a cute idea yesterday over on Christa's blog, which is appropriately entitled Forever Young. She wrote a post called My Life in Numbers, and while I'm more wordsmith than number cruncher, I thought it would be fun to play along. It's not often we put our life into number form, and since I'm a whole year older today (that happens overnight, right?) this seemed a good time to try.

Before I get to all those numbers, though how about a picture? That's me in the bottom right hand corner on my third birthday when big girl cousins rocked the pointy framed glasses and brothers wore belt buckles the size of NJ. Also, this confirms I have always loved coconut. And cake. And my birthday.

Now on with the numbers-

8-number of states I've lived in

15-number of cities I've lived in

2-number of countries I've lived in

100-number of miles from my closest family member

3-number of siblings I have

1-number of years older I am than my youngest sibling

7-number of years younger I am than my oldest sibling
