Since my sisters have both done this and they did it for my mom, I figured I would give it a go. I'm not sure my 100 things will be all that cool, but here it goes.
1. My middle name is Lynn after my mom
2. My first name is Heather, I was named Heather because if my dad had been a boy that is what he would have been named.

4. I have 3 kids
5. I have one husband, he is pretty fantastic
6. I learned to do Cartwheels when I was 2 or 3
7. I am the Middle sister
8. My brother always liked me best when we were little and always defended me
9. It has neither been denied nor confirmed that I am my parents favorite child
10. My Sisters both think I am the favorite
11. I have very small feet
12. My left foot is totally different from my right - I have stubby deformed toes and toe nails. Ask me sometime, I'll show you.

28. Six of those places were in the first 3 years of our marriage
29. Rexburg

53. I am terrified of Horses, but I don't want my kids to be. We'll blame the scared of horses thing on Mr. Griffith's ( I think) where we used to go to horse camp because he told me that if a horse bites you it won't stop until it feels it's teeth touch.

71. My best friend moved a year ago and I still miss her and wish she lived around the corner.
72. My baby was so mad at me when I came home from my trip and wouldn't look at me and wanted to cry. He wanted Auntie JuJu instead.

Actually, I really enjoyed reading it. It was probably relatively painless to write as well. There were several of them I wanted to comment about: I am glad you had a great trip, sorry Josh was mad at you, don't worry about those last "10 pounds"-you look great, I wonder what year you did study abroad, and I also found my first gray hairs recently-dumb 30 years.
This wasn't mundane at all...I loved it! #9 made me laugh and I didn't know you played basketball in high school. Congrats to Steve on his promotion and I loved 3:10 to Yuma. And I'm impressed you did this while jet-lagged. ;-)
Good job on your 100 things Heath! I loved them all and there were even a few I didn't know about, like the Bark Plant job you had. Where was I in those days? Hmmmm... Anyway love you! and Good job!
Love this! You, your sisters, and your mom (via your sisters) crack me up. Loved talking to you today! Miss you tons!
I'm going to comment as I read...I'm glad you only have one husband, your feet are weird and I also don't ever want to go to China. i'm also glad that Joshy is in bed singing. I wish he'd done that at my house! I'm not so good at being a mom all the time either and also not a very good auntie! I also LOVE Hannah Montana and Natalie thinks I'm a total nut! But you already knew that! And that is so funny about you cleaning the dorms because I was thinking the other day that you had done that but then I couldn't remember if it was really you or someone else I knew or if I just imagined it! Crazy! Good list!
I love reading these things- even though I know most of them, there is always something I learn! When do we get to see ya'll again!??! Love you!
That was awesome! Is that true about the horse biting? Because that totally grosses me out!
That was fun to read. I wish we could hang out more (or maybe I should say "ever"). When is another Jerusalem reunion?
