All I need to know in life, I learned with Aina Kristiansen!

by Amy Eller

• The best people can be hiding in very boring classrooms; don't let them pass you by!
• With enough caramel, even cardboard tastes GREAT!
  
• Pink champagne IS a desert wine!!
  
• Matching clothes does NOT always require prior coordination.
  
• Sometimes talking about making up a dance is just as much fun as actually doing it!
  
• First flights are never scary with the right friends aboard.
  
• "I want it all, or nothing at all" (very dramatic of course)
  
• Scrapbooking is a fine art that takes MUCH MUCH time ;-) (as do paintings!)
  
• English spelling and grammar = HIGHLY over-rated!
  
• July 12 is as good a date as any!
  
• Loopified is the PERFECT state of mind!
  
• Taboo is easily conquered if you're riding the same wavelength.
  
• Your tractor is only sexy when entering Ashe County!
  
• Always be prepared for a long venture through the produce section of Wellspring.
  
• EAT CHEESE!
  
• Buy spices in bulk!
  
• Being silly beats being serious ANY DAY!
  
• Don't cut off lines of communication, and NEVER let distance be an excuse!
• Never follow the rules when driving through a parking lot. It will get you on the outter beltline -- direction HELL!

The list goes on and on, but I have limited space and the deadline is approaching, so for now, I will leave it at this (but stay tuned for more)! I love you, Aina. Thanks for everything you are, every memory we've made and every moment that is yet to be enjoyed (in that totally loopified, silly state of mind,of course!!)

Always,
Amy
