Happy Birthday to me.



















Today feels like just another day to me. I turned 27 but other than that, not much has changed. I feel like I have to write something because it's my birthday. Thank goodness my sister Kim has written an awesome blog all about me. But to counter her awesome blog, I'm going to make my own list of 27 things that remind me of my family and growing up in it. If you know me, you will understand about half my sister's list. You will only understand a quarter of mine. If you recognize more than that, you have known me for a very long time. Sorry to hear that.




  • 1. Sticky buns, sticky buns, sticky buns!
  • 2. Sam's cove
  • 3. Is there anybody home?.............no
  • 4. "Jump up, turn round, then fall on the floor!"
  • 5. Brianhead
  • 6. Disney World.....next time, we will all go
  • 7. Chad vs. Rope Swing (Chad 0--Rope Swing 1)
  • 8. Chad's Bat vs. Shannon's door (Bat 1--Door 0)

Our family is so silly that it was easy to come up with 27 items.
I know it will be just as easy to make my 80th Birthday list of
memories. Maybe not my 82nd though, I can't count that high.
Thank you everyone for your calls and your notes, I miss all my family very much and can't wait till Shaver!!!!!

I'm still laughing! Your list rocks!
Seriously, we'll have to put together a huge list from everyone (who has good ones) and do a joint post one of these days. Around Shaver would be appropriate, I think.
