This was really cool!! I enjoyed learning all of these things about you! I think I'll do it too, sometime soon! :)

ashcraft8 said...

Wow. I found out a lot about you.100 things is impressive. I would have to think a long time to make a list like that. I'd take your boys anytime for a weekend.

Running with kids....it's about making the time now! said...

Autumn,
I loved reading that. You are such an amazing person. I think you are creative, nice, patient, spiritual, real, down to earth, loving, caring, thoughtful, fun, energetic, oh the list could go on and on, I am glad we are friends that feel like family. I miss you.
Thanks for giving people like me an update on who I miss out on frequently.
Jess
Hopefully that is not too cheesy, I miss you guys so much though, really.

Hess Fam said...

WHOA! I love this Autumn. I could think of 100 more great things about you. You are a bundle of talent and fun!

Krystal said...

Well, if I didn't know you and read that, I think I'd really like you and definitely want to be your friend. Fortunately I do know you and love all of those things about you! Cheesy, but true!
You are such a fun person to be around and I seriously feel (especially after reading this) that we really do have A LOT in common. I would say the biggest difference is that I'm not as quiet as you. I wish I were, though. I think I should give myself more time to think about things so I don't make a fool of myself as often. :)
If you want to take a tropical vacation with family, we are so totally in!
If you want to go with Ryan, we would so totally babysit! What's three more boys in this already crazy house? ;)

Titel Family said...

Wow, lots of info but having grown up with you and knowing you all these years I guess I knew most of that stuff. Still fun to read. How long did it take you to think of 100 things? It would have taken me days, but maybe I'll try it.

A Rosie Family said...
