Hi! I stumbled upon your blog kind of by accident, and was surprised to see how much we have in common. For instance, my husband is also my favorite person; I'm gonna be a Grandma for the first time soon and I can't wait; I have gone to Disney World many times, and would like to go to Disney Land; used to go camping a lot... can't remember what all, but it was fun to get to know you all in one post!

I don't know if I can think of 100 things, but I'm going to give it a try. I'm sure it will be sometime before I get it up on my blog. I loved reading about you.
