That was so neat. I was surprised by a few things. But most things just described your amazing self. I don't think I could come up with 50 things and not go crazy.
It's funny how you are able to describe yourself so well. I couldn't help but picture my super sister as I was reading all about you! Im excited to spend some time with you this week!
i absolutely loved this post! there are always things you learn about someone that you would have never known! all in all i'd say you are pretty amazing! thanks for sharing!
i laughed so hard at elton stopping you milking the cow cause he felt bad for it! Thats great. love the post.
I learned lots of new things about you. that was fun.
Jen, that was awesome. I don't think I could have thought of that many things about myself. I tried :)
It's good to read about your life...and see your kiddos. They are adorable!
