96. Ditto for him
97. I always thought I would have a daughter
98. God thought otherwise
99. He was right. Sons are amazing
100.I love my sons unconditionally. They make me laugh and give me so much joy. They also like to test my patience on a daily basis. If I could ask for anything, I would ask for more patience. When God was handing it out I thought he said maintenance. I didn't need any then. I was a baby, everything was brand new.
Wow, if you are still reading this, you are so kind!

As IF you're not as witty as me. I think the name thing is cool. We have a bunchof Jacks and Johns in our family too :)
That was great Kami. You can learn something new about a person everyday. Thanks for sharing that.
I think you are so cool. If you were any cooler I would get cold.
Jack
Mommy pretty.
Kamden
ps Daddy Happy. Ack happy too
That was interesting but just wanted to correct one thing, it was a swimmer you were named after. Grams
I finally had time to read this and I learned lots about you! I had a horse as a kid cause I grew up on a farm in Arkansas and I think it would take me 20 lines to explain our names too!
Looks like you wrote this a long time ago, but I still thought it was interesting and funny! And since I'm a stranger to you I figured I'd comment and let ya know! I used to have horses too, and my cat slept on my head my whole life growing up from the time I was four until I went to college. Are you allergic to dogs too? Do you have any pets now? I have a standard poodle that you wouldn't be allergic to because they are hypoallergenic! I like the names Kami and Kamden. I like your list of things. :)
Oooh, one more comment and you'll have TEN!
1. I was named after my two grandfathers... not my dad... although my dad was also named after my grandfather so that's how we ended up with the same first name. We have different middle names though.
29. I don't think you can choke on spit... but you may be able to drown in it.
37. I've been ice skating once... Christmas Day at Rockefeller Center in NYC. Quite magical.
I hope your day has been made...
btw... here's mine: http://liamsar.blogspot.com/2008/07/stolen-from-shelly.html
I am a stranger, but I'm not all that strange :) As well, we have likely been in the same place, as we live in the same city. Maybe Taylor Field? Maybe the skating rink? Barb was my coach. Happy summer!
I suddenly feel better that I had an excess of 25 during the days that "25 random things about me" meme was big on Facebook.
