100 Things

A few of my friends have done this and I have loved reading them. So I thought I would tell you 100 things about me. I don't expect anyone to read all of them...but its kind of fun.

1. I wasn’t given a middle name when I was born and I had always wanted one. If I have girls I will for sure give them middle names.
2. When I write I use a lot of smiley faces… :)
3. I like talk with my hands!...just ask some friends about the "gopher"...
4. I also use a lot of “…”when I type, text, or do anything!
5. When I was younger I told people that my older brother and sister were adopted and that I was really the oldest. No joke. I said they were my cousins and that their parents had died. I was so bad!
