I loved reading your list! I also love your freckles and think you always look tan because of them! You are a lucky girl to have such tiny feet - I've seen some of the amazing shoes you have found at sales. I too love Chris' big brown eyes and hope your babies have the same exact ones!!! They will be beautiful because you two make a spectacular couple! I love that you love to travel and I know your goal of going to Europe will be met sooner rather than later! Oh, and by the way, you are the cutest crazy cat lady I've ever met :) Love you!

That is a great list Laura, did you just make it up or was it questions you answered? I too love the part about your freckles, its so funny what we want when we are kids! I also loved the part about how you struggle to be in the world but not of it. I am with you on that one :)You do live a blessed life! Isnt it great to serve the Lord!

I almost forgot...I agree with numbers 4 & 5! You are hilarious even though Chris doesn't usually laugh. You can rest assured he is laughing on the inside, but his pride hinders him from expressing it on the outside :) I too feel that I have been blessed with a comedic gene. Thomas still rolls his eyes, shakes his head and says "Save it for your sister" whenever I make a funny. I fervently hope and pray that these boys come to their senses and realize how truly blessed they are to have such hilarious wives :)

That's great! Learned some cool things about you! If you need help planning your trip to Europe, let me know. I can hook you up! ; ) Isn't it great to think you're funny, even if no one else does!? I'll laugh with you and at you anytime! Ha ha!

Laura - Good job! 100 things and it wasn't boring! I don't know if I could think of 100 things and have the list be interesting. I, too, prayed that my freckles would join and I'd be really tan - silly kids!

Thanks Lisa for validating my humor!!!!!

Kellie, I stole this idea from someone. I thought it would be super hard but then I wanted to keep going. You all should make a list too.

Andrea, we're thinking of doing a tour when we go to Europe? But I would love any tips or suggestions you have. Have you been before?

Holly, your list would too be interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only one with the freckle phobia!

Laura, I LOVE you, I just adore everything about you!
Well, except that you hate designer knock-offs. :) C'mon, you have to admit what designers charge for jeans, purses..whatever is like total highway robbery!!!! It has really gotten out of control. :)
Anywho..we can get over that little difference in our wonderful friendship...right? :)
I just think your awesome!
I did a 100 things post too, you started a trend!

That was great Laura. Anthropologie would be the shop I would chose also. I love it! Relationship Vs. Religion is a huge thing to grasp and is something I have faught for for the last 2 years. Thanks for sharing.

Hey! Call me or email me (ask Jess or Kim). My mother-in-law is a travel agent specializing in Europe. She has been a tour guide over there a few times and even lived there for a while. She would definately be able to help you out!

Hi Laura, you probably don't know me...I am a friend of the Stockwell's...I hope you don't mind, I read your list...I love it! I think it is beautiful when a woman knows herself and loves herself...your able to embrace life more fully! Your list (and Kelli's) has inspired me to write a list...I hope you don't think I 'm a big copy cat...but it's such a great idea!
