I've seen a lot of people do this, and I thought I'd give it a shot. I figure, if I only get half way through and can't think of anything else, I just won't post it! So if you see this, it means I made it lol.
1. I'm starting this post on Tuesday night, but probably won't be able to finish for a couple days!
2. I love my new camera! I use it all the time. I think Chad is getting annoyed with me snapping pictures at him lol.
3. I love that my sister and I share a bond that is unlike any other because we both have a relationship with Christ!
4. I love Jesus Christ and will never feel worthy of what he did for me on the cross, but am just getting to the point where I am completely accepting it.
5. I have three amazing daughters!! Two of which are twins!
6. My daughter Avery has some weird obsession with poop. She calls everything poop.

8. Did I mention that he is also my best friend, and I love him to death

10. I believe that I am a member of the greatest church on this earth with the greatest pastor on this earth!

12. My birthday is Friday and Chad and I are going to dinner with Jeff and Jani at PF Changs!
13. My cousin Jeff and I share a birthday!
14. I think my nephew Cole is one of the funniest people I know, maybe one of the cunningest too, but definitely the funniest.
15. My Mom and Dad only live a quarter of a mile down the road from me in the house I grew up in, which means I have basically lived in the same area my entire life lol.
16. I think that my Mom and Dad are the greatest parents anyone could ask for, and I love them so much.
17. I can't wait to take off in a couple weeks to go down to California with my family! It's going to be so much fun.

19. I'm the new girls basketball coach at Bickleton High School!
20. I'm not sure there is a school smaller than Bickleton High School... lol
21. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are three of my favorite days of the week. Saturday I have worship practice, Sunday we have church, and Monday I have mainstream. Three days of great worship with some fantastic people!

26. I'm still in shock that I gave birth to two babies at the same time. I don't thinkthe shock/amazement will ever wear off.
27. All of my daughters middle names come from people who mean a lot to Chad and I. Avery is named after my sister, Layla is named after Chad's mom, and Mallory is named after my mom.
28. I wish my sister lived closer so I didn't have to only see her once a week/two weeks.
29. We have three dogs, Homer, Harley, and Marge, and I love all three of them, although they make me want to rip my hair out at times.

31. We live in a run down double wide trailer, and we are REALLY looking forward to being able to get out of here one day!
32. I get so many hand me down clothes for my kids from people that I never HAVE to buy clothes. This doesn't mean I don't, but I don't have to. Thank you to all of you who give me clothes!
33. Just in the last couple of years I've become much closer to my two cousins Dawn and Mo, and love doing things with them and my sister. We have a lot of fun together!

38. I need to go grocery shopping very badly!
39. I really don't like to dust, so if you ever come to my house and there is dust on the window sill or shelves, now you know why!
40. My oldest daughter Avery can be so naughty! I keep saying, "it's because she's two Emily, don't freak out" but sometimes I feel like she is way naughtier then other two year olds!

44. Chad and I went in with my sister and brother in law and bought my grandparent's cabin in Goose Prairie.
45. I wish we'd had more time to go up there this year. But I'm planning on going up a lot next summer and a couple times this winter!
46. My friend Jen has the same camera I do, that's where I first fell in love with the camera, so it's all Jen's fault!
47. I'm so happy that the summer is over and that Chad has more time to spend with us, he works too hard!

52. Chad and I are worried that if we decided to have another baby, we'd have 3! lol
53. It's funny how you think you know how you're mom feels, and then when you have children you realize you had it all wrong!
54. I think it's funny when I hear things come out of my mouth that my Mom used to say to me, and I swore I would never say.
55. My mind is constantly wandering, and I will laugh outloud sometimes thinking about random things. Sometimes this makes me look a little silly.
56. Because my mind wanders, it's hard for me to focus on conversations for long periods of time. So fi I ask you to repeat yourself, I'm sorry in advance!
57. I had a much sharper brain before I had kids, now I think it's been blended into oblivion.
58. Now that the temperature outside is cooling down, we have these huge brown house spiders showing in our house. Avery thinks they are awesome. Me, not so much...

63. I still miss my first dog Maggie. I hope we get to see our old pets in heaven, because she was my best friend when I was little. I loved her.
64. My cousins and I used to have a club when we were little. We would have meetings on the bus ride to school. It was called the Helpers club.

72. My pastor and his wife are like my second set of parents. I love them like they were my first.
73. Pizza is by far my favorite food and I could eat it every day. I know because when I was in college I worked at a pizza place in the CUB and I ate pizza every day lol.
74. I miss playing basketball competetively, and have dreams about it a lot.
75. I love those dreams where you are running, and you never get tired. It feels so great!

85. I think her second favorite thing to do is rip the paper off of crayons...
86. I want to paint the wall behind the kitchen sink but I've been waiting for my cousin Becky to have another WOW blog to do it lol.
87. I think my cousin Becky is one of the strongest people I know having overcome everything she's been through, and I love her for it!

89. I'm so happy I have a husband who not only supports me as a stay at home mom, but wants me to be happy with whatever I do!
90. It's almost time to take Avery's power wheels and put it in Mimi and Pappy's garage to stay out of the winter weather. Thank you so much for letting us store stuff in there Mom and Dad!!
91. I hear so many horror stories about in laws, and I feel very blessed to have the ones I have, they are great!
92. Our neighbor had a huge vegetable garden this last summer, and kept our fridge fully loaded with zuchinni, onions, cantaloups, watermelons, jalapenos, cucumbers, and much much more!
93. I'd like to have my own garden next year, but I won't do it unless I can do a raised garden. It'll probably be a small one!
94. My mom's cousin Toni gave me a rooster lamp for my wedding, and originally I wasn't really sure about it (just being honest people) but I'm so glad I kept it and have it on my desk because now every time I look at it it reminds me of her :)
95. Same goes for the glass bowl that Mable gave me sitting on my dining room table! I miss those gals.

97. I love roller coasters, and haven't been able to go on one in so long because of beign pregnant every time we go to a theme park. I can't wait to go on one again in a couple weeks!
98. The thought of anything infinite or eternal is so mind boggling, and people wonder why we don't understand everything God does...
99. I can't believe I only have one of these left! This wasn't as tough as I thought lol.
100. I have the most wonderful people in my life. You all know who you are! I doubt everyone I care about will read this, but those that do, thanks for taking the time out of your busy busy lives to read a little randomness about me. I hope I didn't bore you lol.
