Glad to see that I am not the only one who likes '24' in the family. It is kind of like crack-you keep needing more.
You have no idea how inspiring this is for me to read! I am anticipating everything you have already been through in the last year. I'm going to look up the CD mix I gave you and listen to it right now. I need a soundtrack.
And two sizes? Way to go!
You need to call Mike and talk "24 talk" with him. I get shushed every time he watches it. I love your list. Matty misses you too. Annie and I have thought about coming in the next couple of weeks. Erin goes off track this friday. We'll see. However, if your vertigo is in full bloom I may not want to come. Please stay off of your step stools.
I think moving away would be very hard- you're pretty amazing! You are an inspiration to me in so many ways Liz. I haven't heard the punctured lung story...must post. Any tips on the two sizes?
I loved your list. I am also very proud of your move and weight loss. Seriously, those are two major accomplishments! I started filling this meme out and it just depressed me for some reason, maybe I will try again.
Thanks for sharing!! So fun to read.
Vertigo, I'm not surprised one little bit. Why can't I remember a punctured lung story??? This year we can plan to help you get more organized. It will be fun.
DO NOT let katie & ANnie in your house..they WILL throw everything away!! I've experienced it and it jurts! Mom
Two sizes... oh my gosh. What in the world are you doing? That is SUPER GREAT! I am impressed. This was such a great list. Thank you for sharing.
