Tagged!

You’ve probably seen a million of these “tagged” posts going around. I thought I’d have some fun and answer the questions for the two that tagged me, Suzi and Lyndsay.

The rules are to tag other people and pass along questions—but I’m going to break the rules and just answer the questions. I know, I’m a rebel. You’re tagged to answer the same questions if you wish!
