Yes, I especially agree with #1, 13, and 46. That's a fun idea.
I believe I learned something new from this :) I'm glad you "tagged" me into doing it. Maybe you can learn something about me?
I love your list! It is very therapeutic don't you think?! Here is what surprised me a little. I didn't know you wanted to go to law school, although I think you should have, you would be killer in court! I am very impressed by your 10 year run at scripture reading, I wish I could say the same about myself! I LOVE your idea to serve at least one person outside your house everyday. I am thankful that on too many of those days that person has been me. I love you!
I loved your list and loved that I knew so many of those things about you already. I really like that you don't get stressed to cook for large groups of people because I totally do-- maybe one day you can teach me your tricks (maybe the same day I teach you how to use predictive text on your phone). Over the past two weeks or so I have actually been compiling a list like this about myself and was almost done when the laptop I was using decided to break. But I think I will still be able to find it again once we get the laptop back from the fix-it place. Maybe then I'll post my list on my blog.
LISA!!! How are ya! I love your blog post. It's insightful and honest and so fun to read! I found you on Mark and Emily's blog. So, since I love keeping in touch with fam and friends I'm adding you to mine...come check us out sometime!
Thanks for the link to your blog. Its good to know what you're up to and I can't believe how big Logan is. Life sure goes fast. Sounds like you are more busy than ever. Keep in touch.
I thought it was a cool idea, but too much work. I kept thinking about it and ended up writing my own list I blame you for the missed sleep. ;)
