13. Whose behaviour disappointed you?
The only person I could say is myself.

15. What did you get really really excited about this year? Our 10-year anniversary trip to St John's NFLD.
16. What song will always remind you of 2013? Stompa, Serena Ryder (and sadly, 'What does a fox say...my kids just love it).
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: much happier, much nicer or richer? Richer (only slightly...if less out of debt counts as richer), and happier. Always happier.
18. What do you wish you had done more of? More chillin with chillens.

26. What did you do on your birthday and how old did you turn? Not much, went with Tyler on Branch President visits and to the library. Turned 33. This confuses Logan to no end because 'Dad's are bigger than mom's so Dad should be 33 and mom should be 32.'
