i love you sister, good list, your life is exciting, i mean your a mother, how more exciting can that get. im glad you adore me ;) im proud of you

I think it is funny you listed that you drive a minivan as number 2. You know before any mentions of Kenny or your kids...do you have a name picked out for your minivan because if not you need to! Love you, Jill
We miss you in Texas too!
I knew most if not all of these things about you, just like you did about me. We must be great friends!! I think the only one I definitely didn't know was about the girl bringing a gun to school with her. SCARY!!
