Oh this is fun. I want you to keep adding. It is amazing how many of these I already knew. It actually surprised me. But I learned a few things too!
Number 89 cracked me up, I can't believe you did that! That is so funny! It was nice learning more about you. Yes, I do remember the late night gabs, wasn't it great!
Your class reunion already happened. The only reason I know is because I saw some pictures on myspace. I will tell you this, from the looks of it only a few people showed because no one took the time to locate anyone. And those who did show up looked like they were sloppy drunk and could barely strand up straight. I am fairly certain you didn't miss much!
I stumbled upon your blog and am sad to learn that you will be moving. We never really got together even though you're so close, but it was a comfort to know you were in our stake. Good luck with everything.
I think that I am very sad, you are moving!!!! I am happy for you but sad for me. Genea will be sad that her boyfriend is moving as well!! :)

what a great idea to look for 100 things people don't know about you. I enjoyed reading this list. We're all very interesting and list like this prove it!
I loved this list. It includes many of the things I LOVE about you. One that stood out to me. I always loved that your family knew how to have fun and relax... since I can be really anxious.(not a surprise..i know) I am still grateful to your dad for sticking me back on the knee-board and telling me he would not let me give into my fears and miss out forever. I felt so loved that he cared enough to make me face my fears. Incidentally, my husband is so much like your dad... lucky for my boys.
