Thanks you two, that's definitely my plant! I was thinking Crassula or Senecio and my plant is definitely the "Weeping Jade"/"Trailing Jade" although I'm finding conflicting info on the correct scientific name. I'm not real familiar with succulents so hopefully someone more knowledgeable with these types of plants can help me out!

I definitely remember my plant tag reading Senecio jacobaea but upon more research I'm even more confused! This is what I've found:

The ATP database has a photo of what looks identical to my plant listed as Kleinia petraea, and lists Senecio jacobsenii as a synonym. Trailing Jade (Kleinia petraea) And, I wonder if Xeramtheum's photo is in the correct location?

The ITIS website says that Senecio jacobaea is incorrect, not an accepted name and lists the accepted name as Jacobaea vulgaris. But J. vulgaris is Ragwort, a totally different plant from the "Trailing Jade"!

The KEW website has listings for Senecio jacobaea and Kleinia petraea but I have no clue what plants those names go with since no photo's are included!

So .... I'm stumped as to what the correct scientific name is for Trailing/Weeping Jade!! Grumbling I'm getting too old for this!
