Hey All!  
  So this is the part where I get to tell you all about myself!! Lucky you!!

   For starters my name is Elizabeth Jean Hipp, but I will pretty much answer to anything! Among the most common favorites are Liz, Lizbeth Jean, Little Bit, Hipper, and anything relating to my height (extremely short), feel free to contribute to the collection!!  I was born and raised in Bismarck, North Dakota (and no, contrary to popular belief, we do not ride around in covered wagons still, although it would be fun!)  
  Um lets see I have two older brothers Jake and Adam (see below), and then my mother Barb and my father John! 

Jake and I
  ~*~ This is Jake and I at christmas a couple years ago!


  ~*~  This is Adam and my soon to be sister in law Crestin! 


  ~*~ My mom is gonna kill me for this, but this is my parents dancing at the cabin!  

    So, I hope all of you love pictures, because yes I am that girl.  The one with the camera permanently glued to her face…  I believe some people can paint amazing images in your mind with lovely words, I am still working on that skill.  I enjoy using pictures and videos to recreate memories. (Do I scrapbook…please…only every other day! wink)
