Very fun Angela. It will be fun for your kids to read through the years. Congrats on sticking to the blog for 100 posts. So much history recorded. It's made journaling so much fun.
You must really hate laundry it was #43 and #82!! LOL! I don't blame you it is never ending with 4children I can't imagine the pile with 7 children! What a fun list! Sorry about the jaw I don't remember you without your gum or someoneelses in your mouth!
I love it! That was fun to read a little about you since I don't know you all that well and I feel like I just got to know you better.
Awesome! I love to read these, but never in a million years could I do this about myself. It would require way too much thinking.
Clay
WOW! I didn't know a lot of those! Most of them made me laugh so hard.
I'm going to do this as well, even though I've got a ways to go! Don't worry, I'll do at least one a week from now on.
Genelle! You don't have to wait until 100 posts - just do it!
Did I know I was signing a note for you so you could miss a test???!!! I did love your 100 list though, and many were very funny. M
That's awesome, Ang. Now I know where to take you for your birthday... of course you'll have to come to Utah cause I don't know if they have a Cheesecake Factory in Idaho... ?
You're right Ang, I will!
Oh WOW Ang!!! Love your list - I amazed that you were able to come up with 100! It was so fun to read about you - hey I have a sinkload of dishes you can come do for me! :o)
BTW - Happy Anniversary (it is a little after midnight, but it still counts as June 30th - right! Hope you had a wonderful day with your sweetheart. Can you believe it was 14 years ago?!?!
Nice list Ang! I think Erin could help you with #31. I've been meaning to learn how to take a good photo as well...
I think laughing loudly runs in the family -- we got it from dad!
As far as drinking water versus pop, you and I are opposites. I love pop and only drink water because I have to!
I don't remember getting hit with a hammer, but I've been told about it a lot. I do remember getting in fights with you and throwing things though. Good times!
That was a fun list to read! I will start working on mine.
That is a lot of fun!! I am not sure how long it would take me. Quite awhile I am sure!
Ang :) You are so awesome :) I'm so glad that our paths crossed and you were placed in our ward :) It's a great blessing to know you :)
Yeah, you did it! So fun to read all about you. I loved it!
