Well that's all folks, and might I add this took me all afternoon to think of. But to all my blogging pals out there, I would challenge you to do this too. It really makes you think about yourself and all the great and not so great things about you. Now that I'm finally done I feel like I could add a ton more things. It's pretty cool!
Oh and for everyone out there who reads this for Jonas... Here are a couple favorites from our recent California trip!

Wow! Nice job, I am impressed! I don't think I could come up with 10, let alone 100 things about myself. I can honestly say I didn't know a lot of those things about you, but I was surprised at how many I did know. I guess we have gotten to know each other better than I thought during all those "couple minutes to check out a game" Also, I LOVE that first picture of Jonas and Matt- it is SO cute!!

PS- I think the penguin costume would probably fit Jonas just right, but you can always go check at the store if you want a fun outing. I personally REALLY liked the hot dog one!

That picture of Jonas kissing Matt is one of my favorites. Soo cute! I'm so proud of you for making your list. It's fun, insn't it? I totally thought of tons of stuff to add when I was finished too, but then I thought if I did so I might seem conceited! haha I guess it probably wouldn't have been too far off. Ok, I want to comment on all of them, but I'll just say a few things. That cracked me up that you said you don't like Wyatt, but you can't get rid of him! Also, I'm glad you and Matt are still so in love. I really do appreciate that example and I always hope I can find the same thing. I agree that people our age are too lazy in relationships. Ok, lastly...I'm glad you adore us, because we really adore you and we're so happy you're truly part of our family. xoxo

Wow, I am impressed! That is hard to do, I dont think I could make a list of ten things! We love you and are so happy that you are a part of our family and that you put up with us! We are going to miss you guys like crazy and I really hope that you come back here even if the summers are unbearable!

I am so glad that you did this. It made me laugh out loud a couple of times because you mentioned things I really didn't think that you knew about yourself. Stay tuned for my list when I turn 30. I figure that is a good time to make it.
