i like the list! i want jake to take me to see wicked, but i don't think it's happening anytime soon. i also have an old shirt of jake's that i wear sometimes. it has some holes, but that's ok. and maybe aubrey's fear of closed doors comes from the car locking experience. you never know! also, maybe instead of singing in church with me you could play the flute. i think that would sound really good, and i'll just sing solo. haha.

You know, lately, I've been loving cold cereal also...particularly Marshmallow Mateys. I can't get enough of them. And, when did you wade through flood waters? That's the only one on the list I didn't know.

it was the summer we were first married and living about half a mile from the Stolle's and there was that Hurricane or Tropical Storm or whatever that flooded their neighborhood and the surrounding areas, and we waded from the house we were house sitting to their house, and at some points it was chest deep. Their house flooded, but ours was okay. It was an adventure.

I guess #43 is my fault, I'm sorry, however, it made me laugh so hard I got tears in my eyes! (Dad too!)
