100. My life has made one large circle. I live in the house I grew up in and work in the system I attended school in. It's amazing how history repeats itself.
99. I am finally getting older, and it freaks me out. When I was a kid, Pluto was a planet! Times have changed! Getting older really does seem weird to me though!
98. I have friends and always have, but I don't think I've ever had a best friend. Girls typically got on my nerves growing up. Everything was a big deal to them.
97. I am spoiled rotten. My mom was the original source, but Daniel has carried the tradition on. I like to think I spoil him too though.
96. I would rather eat Daniel's food than any restaurant!
95. I HATE confrontation.
94. I always said I'd NEVER be a teacher. I am currently employed as a 10th grade math teacher.
93. My future children have a 50% chance of either having the eye disease in my family or being a carrier of it. (Only boys can actually have the disease. Girls can be carriers meaning they can pass it on to their children someday.) I don't mind though because it has only made my Dad a stronger person; therefore, I know my children will be ok also.
92. I always wanted to be a doctor. That is my true dream in life. An oncologist to be specific.

89. I am still not old enough to substitute teach in Blount County.
88. I am scared to death of fire. My grandparents died as a result of a house fire.
87. I got my first job because I was walking across Freed one day and wondered into the tutoring office and just decided to sign up to tutor. I took my first paycheck, bought some fabric and made a blanket to ensure I'd always have something that was from my first paycheck. I'm covering up with that blanket right now!
86. I love anything monogrammed. It makes me feel special when it has my name on it. I'm silly.

77. I really need to have more real conversations with Daniel's family and spend more time with them.
76. I always wanted to play high school basketball but never got too. I am better at softball anyways.
75. I am NOT musically inclined. Maybe our kids will get the Courington 'Music' Gene.

73. I look like my Mom and act like my Dad.
72. I need to find more outdoor hobbies.
71. I am highly allergic to something, but we cannot figure out what it is. Crazy, huh?
70. Addi is adorable. I think about her and usually tell someone about her everyday.
69. I love it when Levi calls me Minnie. I am sad when his nap time comes because I know it means no more Levi hollers. I like the hollers.
68. I want to be like my mother-in-law someday.
67. I think my father-in-law is one of the funniest people I know. I love to yap with him about any crazy topic.
66. I believe Billy should start a Special Events Decorating Business.
65. I would give Mary part of my liver if I could. She amazes me with how much energy she has regardless of everything.
64. I think Paul is an amazing teacher. He is so patient and puts so much effort into his lesson plans. I hope I can try as hard as he does.
63. Kim has to be the MOST patient person I know. I wish I got to see her more often. I miss her quite frequently.
62. Josh is an awesome dad. I love it when Hannah sees him walk into a room. She just lights up.

59. I cannot wait to meet Lila.
58. I tell everyone about my nieces and nephews just like they were my own siblings' baby or babies.
57. I think about how Addi, Levi, and Hannah will interact with my kids a lot. I hope they are with my kids how Jasmine and Alex are with them.
56. I hope Jasmine gets to achieve her goals. She is such an amazing young woman and so dedicated to God.
55. Alex lets me see what Daniel would have been like at 16. He is such a wonderful young man and Christian. He always makes me laugh. He will be an amazing boyfriend and husband someday.
54. I love that my entire family are members of the church.
53. I want my kids to grow up at Sylvan Springs church of Christ or whatever they rename that place next time they move. Hehe.
52. My mom means more to me than she would ever know.
51. I am always cold and wear a jacket 365 days a year.
50. I would live in pajamas if it was socially acceptable. Lucky for Daniel, it's not.
49. I love my puppy, Rascal. He listens to Daniel better than he does me but when Daniel gets on to him, he comes running for me. I guess it's because I am scared to spank him.
48. My Aunt Freida is one of those people that is good at everything.
47. All four of my first cousins can tear a piano to pieces. I took lessons for 7 years and know Old McDonald my heart.
46. I am terrible at basic arithmetic.
45. I use to ask as many questions as Addi does. I got spankings for "What If-ing". I would ask What if the sky falls down or about any scenario I could dream up.
44. The best thing that ever happened to me was going to Freed-Hardeman. I wish I could go back and spend another year as a student.
43. Daniel and my's first date was when I was 15. We double dated with my parents. (Kim: I still have that bear!)
42. My cousin Tiffany is 17 months older than me. I was always smaller than her. Now I stand 6 inches taller than she does. She still protects me though.

26. I live for the moments my dad tells me how proud he is and how much he loves me.
25. I sleep in my glasses; I guess that's why they are warped.

1. I am happy to be alive!!!
I didn't have my camera at the family get-to-gethers; however, here are a few pictures from Christmas with my parents on th 26th. Daniel wasn't feeling well AT ALL about half way through presents, so we don't have many pics of us together! But here's what I managed to get while everyone was happy and well. Enjoy! Oh, the bobble head doll was Daniel's FAVORITE gift he said. So, that one's in honor of him. It a doll of Mr. Bean, and he loves those movies! It currently has a prominent place on our dresser in the master bedroom *sigh* That's alright though!! The picture of me is a sleeping mask. It blocks out the light so I can sleep while Daniel watches TV on those days I have to work the next morning! Needless to say, Daniel chose the mask and was a gift from him. Funny though.
