4. Visited Hawaii -- ahhh I wish -- someday!
5. Watched a meteor shower funny story -- When we were dating, Steve took me to a trail head at the top of North Ogden canyon, and we watched the meteor shower in the back of his dad's truck -- when a van pulled in by us -- a few minutes later and we started hearing some very...uh...amorous...sounds coming from the van -- very loudly! We got so uncomfortable that we left before the meteor shower was over!
