I haven't known Andrea as long as my sisters. (obviously) This list was fun to read and learn more about her.
#4 made me laugh and cry at the same time. I have noticed a theme in a lot of the lists I have read and that is spending time on Facebook.
The things I knew about Andrea are #2 #5 part of #8 #10 #20 and #21. so to those who are counting that leaves 19 things I had the pleasure to learn about her. Some I could have guessed and others not so much.
Andrea, I think you are a good person who tries to be true to yourself and I am glad you and my brother are good together. I enjoy the times we get to chat and catch up even if it isn't often, as life has a way of getting in the way of... well, life. :) Thank you.
