Wow I'm impressed that you came up with 100...I think if I did that, I would find ways to repeat. Oh and by the way your blog is so cute.
That was so fun reading about you! I think we are a lot alike! Sometimes, I don't eat breakfast until around 11am, I love just being a lazy bum, but then I get mad at myself for it later, and I also love to watch HGTV and food network! I didn't know you used to dance...I did a little bit in high school too! How fun!
Marci, I loved this post! I think you are such a darling girl and I always have. I remember when we were sophomores, I tried out for cheer and when you and Tessa were in front of me learning that blasted dance I was so jealous of your long legs!
You are a neat girl!!! Some of the things you wrote are so sweet, like watching your husband achieve all of his dreams and making your baby laugh! That is so awesome! That was a lot of fun to read! By the way Bowen is so so cute!!
I am so impressed you took the time to do that Marci. You are so cute! And I love the idea I learned alot more about you!
I read them all! Woman, you're amazing, don't you forget it!
I read all 100! But I am wondering what kind of books you like? You don't like fantasy, you don't like Harry Potter, you don't like "bonnet" stories, and you don't like Twilight (as described in one of your previous posts)... So, what books do you like? And don't say the scriptures, because that's a cop-out!
books....mmmmmm...mmm...well i do read, mostly just biograhies, love stories (yes, like charly!) and motivational books. definately nothing to exciting!
i am so glad you wrote a long post..it kept me from cleaning my house for like 1/2 hour!!! it was fun to read...now i feel like i know everything about you.
And I thought I knew everything about you...but I even learned a new thing or two. It was fun to read 100 things about you. It comfirmed what I already knew; you are an incredible woman and James and Bowen are two very blessed boys!! I love the new look of your blog and I love you! Mom
Marci, I gladly read all the tings about you! You are such a sweet, pretty, fun girl! I am so glad that I have gotten to know you! Thanks for being so great!
