We went to Iceland, France, Germany, Beligum, Iceland, and The Netherlands.

Done in Russia, twice. Once on my way to Nizhniy Novgorod from Tver, and then from Tver to Moscow.  

Surprised by my dad as we flew to Panama! First class, baby. It was awesome.  

 AH! I got to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida and it was more than I could have hoped for.

I want to attend the ACFW Conference, preferably in St. Louis in 2014. This is one of the largest Christian writer's conferences and there are so many fellow authors I wish to meet in person. 

First book published September 23rd, 2014 Second book published October 19th, 2015   http://nadinebrandes.com  

Woohoo! I walked a tightrope cord at four stories high. With a harness of course. I fell off a couple times, but it was glorious! I'm not afraid of heights, so it was thrilling. I wanted to do this because of the book I'm writing...

(Sorry, not very good picture)

Here's one of my blogs about my experience: http://nadinebrandes.com/2013/08/21/whats-your-adventure/

I've now knitted scarves, hats, and little baby pants!

I love to travel! It looks like I'll need to up this goal. So far, I've been to:   1. South Korea 2. Russia 3. Austria 4. Germany 5. Israel 6. Jordan 7. Egypt 8. Canada 9. Mexico 10. England 11. Scotland 12. Finland  

Actually quite good. I've had it three times and liked it every time!

Completed summer of 2005.   Though I didn't get to solo, I took of and landed without help from the instructor! Couldn't go on to get my licence because I got too air sick!

Played drums in front of 7,000 in a two-day concert with Dennis Agajanian. Some other bands were Audio Adrenaline and Crystal Lewis.

I love the sports that are not monotonous. Rock climbing is a blast, though I've settled for the gyms now that I've moved to a cliff-less state.

The hubby learned how to drive one so that we could ride away after our wedding! What a man!    

It was glorious and more than I could have ever hoped for! Looking forward to the movie, but excited I saw it on stage first! 

It was disgusting, but I didn't throw up.

A lot of fun--the castle is on a high hill so you can see a lot of Edinburgh from its wall. A lot of neat things to see, but a little pricey to get in if you're not prepared. 

Lived in York, England for 4 months. It was a completely different world--very enchanting and a lot to learn! Certainly had its ups and downs, but I'd love to go back for a visit someday.

So cool! It had scratches on its shell from an attack from another fish.

Craziest experience of my life, but after the certification process, scuba diving is AWESOME! (Learning was fun, too, but the first dive in the wind-blown ocean felt like we were in a washing machine). Since then, I've swam with sea turt...

It's huge and amazing. If you get the chance, walk the canyon into it. My sister and I took a horse-buggy for medical reasons and the driver practically crashed multiple times! There wasn't much build-up to entering Petra because we were...

Amazing and much larger than I thought!! The base stones are gigantic.

Done three times--twice in the British Virgin Islands on a 44 foot catamaran (sailed it with the family--no help!). Then again in a four-bed sailboat along the coast of Maryland. Totally different than a catamaran, but I recommend both! ...

Done! Over 100 mph, of course (what fun is it if you stay safe?).

Landed on a lake in Alaska. So much fun! 

First time I saw it, I was in a tiny two-seater plane with so many windows I felt like I was flying free in the wind! The Northern Lights were gorgeous! It was my dad and I in the plane, the Northern Lights were green and pink everywhere...
