I think I had this post back when I first started blogging a few years ago and everyone seemed to know most of my items that they weren't suppossed to know! So I have been thinking about it again lately and some things in my life might suprise most of you:
1. My computer is from 1998 and it will probably take me 45 minutes just to create this post. I don't have a cell phone, and my TV remote only works from 4 feet away, I have an old school MP3 player, etc.... Lets just call it "Technologically Apathetic"
2. I had a Capital "L" shaped #2 today. Enough said.
3. I have grey hair. lots of it.
4. I make all my own bread(since christmas) and only make my own waffles, pancakes, tortillas, pizza crust, breadsticks, rolls, anything "Bread like" for the last four years. I use lots of wheat. I also only make my own salad dressings and marinades, pizza and pasta sauces. I dont buy cold cereal. I hate processed food but will eat Ramen. I love whole fresh food but will also get a Wendy's Jr. Bacon frequently.
5. We have survived on one car for the last 2 months while we are trying to find the right van
6. Last year we were billed(and paid) almost $6500 in medical bills. It nearly broke us but it feels good to have it behind us and to be better insured now. I want to live in France now- Chloe can I come live??!!- Free Health Care and the government does your laundry after you have a baby(so Micheal Moore informs us.)
7. I love Robert and my babies more than I ever knew I would. I suprise myself. I feel lucky. I am sure all of you out there feel that same way about your family too. For some reason I thought this kind of happiness was reachable when I would be 82 or so but it has only been four years of marriage!! Wow- and it only gets better.
What are somethings I dont know about you??!!

Wow, I'm impressed that you make all your own bread and don't buy cereal. What do you eat for breakfast? See, I have occasional thoughts about losing all the artificial stuff from our diet, but then it just sounds like too much work. So it can be done!
We eat oatmeal and a lot of toast. pancakes and eggs, applesauce and fruit, yogurt. etc... it does take some work but luckily james likes oatmeal.
Something else you dont know is that when you get to almost 7 years of marriage it gets so easy that you think that you are a pro and then life throws another wrench in your plans, but you work thing out much faster and more effectively. And im very jelous that you make your own bread and things like that. I DO NOT bake. I wish I did!
Im impressed with your healthy eating habits! Nothing beats fresh food.
And yes, you can definitely come to France ^^
(though im out of here in 2 years)
I laughed out loud when I read your L shaped poo comment! Ape you are so fun!
Wow, I'm impressed that you are such the Betty Crocker cooking woman! You are my hero! I wish I could be more like that. I hate cooking too much....if I have to spend more than 20 minutes in the kitchen to put a meal together I feel like it's a waste of time and it puts me in a bad mood. You need to live by me and teach me! We miss you and Berto! Maybe we'll do a Utah trip sometime and come see you!
