Holy smokes woman....I had no idea this post was coming. And even though I have known you forever, I LOVED reading this:) You are a fun girl who sure does like adventure! I never knew that Brandi sent you a card saying Geoff would be your next husband...how awesome is that?? I'm not sure if there is anything random that you don't already know about me?
I think I am remembering right. It was Christmas Eve when you and your brother flipped the quad at your dads into the mud and I remember, your brother anyway, coming home all muddy and dirty. Oh, and I have a picture of you and your brother on the horse at your dads and me sitting on the pony while I was about 7 months pregnant with Joey. LOL One random thing about me... I don't like cheese.
That was fun! I think I knew all of those but one and I'm really glad I was part of #30 & 81! And 44 LOL!!! I'm pretty sure you know all of my randomness as well. Your favorite though must be my sleep-walking/talking (that was fun in college huh?). Brandi
You are SO super interesting. I didn't realize you were such a dare devil. I am so glad everything with Evan's drug overdose worked out OK. I got goosebumps reading this. EXCELLENT list. I really loved it.
P.S. Stop by my blog Tuesday (or later) and pick up your award. :)
I forgot to tell you that I love your #40.....
Can you plan number #40 with me..Please oh please...Just think our village could grow..the more the merrier..
wow friend!!
happy 101 :)
i learned so much!!
really i am kind of in awe!!
I loved this list...it was so much fun to read! I have a lot of randomness in me:) I played the trumpet in jr. high and high school and was so bad at it! I am not a musically inclined person. I finally convinced my parents to let me quit my jr. year.
good for you. I was suppose to do 100 things about me for my 100th post... I think i bumped it down to 10. I may have cheated :)
Congrats on your award over at Angie's!
Your blog is great--I'm enjoying perusing your posts. Your boys are beautiful!
Blessings!
