Here it is.... MY 100th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




So I have been thinking about my 100th post for quite a while now as I continued to get closer and closer to it and what I could do to make it a special post. The thought even crossed my mine how cool it would be if my 100th post was to announce the baby girls were here.... But I just couldn't hold out that long!!!

The next thing I did was try to be creative in some way, you know think about how to make this special and awesome, but nothing is coming to me. Maybe it's because I'm 2 weeks away from having twin girls and I just have other things on my mind than to be really creative for my blog (Maybe I'll be able to do that at 200!!!) So I did only the next natural thing to do... I googled 100th blog post ideas, and everything I found was pretty much the same. People giving 100 little facts about themselves that you may or may not know about them. So I'm stealing their idea!!

Here are my "100 little facts about me"
* Friends and Family
1. My husband Josh is my very very best friend and the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole life. I am what I am today because of him!!!

2. Josh spoils me way too much

3. I met Josh in a bar after I bungee jumped. He was walking out and I was walking in. I grabbed him and said I just bungee jumped... He decided to stay, and the rest is history!!!!

4. I love my family more than I can ever let them know... It's beyond words how much each and every single one of them have influenced me to be who I am today

5. I am SOOOOOOO ready for my baby girls to be here, and can't believe that in only 2 weeks I will be holding them in my arms

6. I'm scared to death about putting my babies in a day care.

7. My big sister Jennifer, is also my best friend... She is always there to listen and turn to when I need someone.

8. While Erika is my younger sister, I look up to her for all she does as a mom. She is one of the best I know, and I hope that I am as good of a mom as she is!!

9. My brother Wes is the best brother anyone could have and you should all be jealous of me!!! He would do ANYTHING at ANYTIME for me and he has proven that over and over!!!

10. My parents are my role models. They got married and raised 4 children at very young ages, and did such a great job!!! And they have been married going on 33 years and are still in love and you can see the love they have. I hope that my marriage and parenting are as good as theirs has been and continues to be!!!

11. I wish my best friends from college lived closer to me (2 are in Lexington and one is in Boston)

12. My best friend from college, Kate and I, weren't really friends until I left Transylvania and moved back to Louisville... We hardly even spoke when I was there, now she is one of the best friends I've ever had and our friendship continues to grow more and more throughout the years!

* Pets
13. I have two cats, Nelly and Rudy, that were a Valentine's Present from my mom when I moved to my first apartment 7 years ago.

14. Josh hates my cats cause one of the first times we just hung out at my house and ordered pizza, the cats jumped on the stove and knocked the whole pizza onto the floor before we got any of it.

15. Poor Rudy was locked in the refrigerator over night as a kitten... I found her in there the next morning when I got up... Yet she still likes to jump in the refrigerator to this day.

16. Zander is our 5 year old Jack Russell

17. He is so spoiled, he will not lie on the floor if there is not a pillow or blanket for him, He will sit or stand staring at us until we get him one.

18. Zander decided to jump the fence for the first time in almost three years when we were on our Honeymoon last summer and my brother was at our house. He had never done it before and has never done it again. It really is very strange that he did that.

* Blogging
19. I started my blog in December 2008 a couple weeks after I found out I was pregnant after months of thinking I would start one, but with the new news I knew I would finally have something interesting to talk about!!
