I saw an email a few weeks ago had a list of 100 things and asked you to highlight the things on the list that you've experienced. Because this serves as my journal, I decided to take the idea and change it up a little bit. Instead, I listed 100 things that I've experienced. Some are pretty fun and amazing while others have been more simple everyday experiences. There were so many more things I could have listed but this is a good start. I hope one day my boys will read this and learn a thing or two about me. I've also realized as I jotted some of these things down that I am very blessed. I've gotten to experience a wide variety of things physically, spiritually and emotionally. Eventually I will put my bucket list together and start working to accomplish that.

What a cool idea. I learned a lot about you too, and I might just have to copy that on my blog. Miss you guys!
I've only done 31 of those things! I'm jealous of some (like skydiving and kissing in the rain) and NOT of others (having a baby w/o epidural, evacuating house cuz of fire). Very cool idea Eden!
