I've been inspired by, Jill, Jenny,and a few others to name 100 things about myself. I didn't think I would be able to do it so easily, BUT it was and I have more than enough. So I will be keeping track of other things about myself and will soon be posting ANOTHER 100 things.

I loved reading that Angie! I realized that Macy looks just like you did as a kid:) Very cute! I might have to write 100 things about myself as well!

I am happy to say I knew all but the interior designer. Didn't know you would have became that. You would definitely be great at it too!

Okay I am totally laughing at your "Texas" vest of you and Greg's engagement. Those pictures are freaking me out they look EXACTLY like Maci.

Jill said...

This is such a fun list. I'm totally laughing at the picture of you and Greg right after he proposed, the fashion is so funny (I remember it all so well).

Of course, I didn't know a lot of these things about you, but here are some that stuck out to me.
--11 years of girl's camp!
--Lifeguarding
--Naturally curly hair (do you ever let it be curly?)
--You and Greg want to be on The Amazing Race. Wow, you're brave.

Jessica said...

That was a great list. I'm Jenny's friend, btw. I've been searching out these 100 lists because they are so fun.

I was a lifeguard too but never had to save anyone. I pretty much just yelled, "get off the rope!". And jay and I would LOVe to be on the Amazing Race. I think we could take you!

michelle said...

I am totally shocked that you have naturally curly hair. How do you manage to do such a great job with the straightening? Give me the straight scoop, girl!

I am also shocked that you used to be heavier. Please share how you managed to get so thin. (I sincerely hope that running is not your secret!)

Syd said...

Angie, that was really fun. I would never have guessed you have curly hair!! I also watch the batchelor and My Hubby and his brothers and dad sent in an application for the Amazing Race when they were doing the family one!! I will also be 35 this year, which is hard for me to believe!! :)

I loved your 100 list, what fun things to learn about you. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself.

I forgot to say that I would never have guessed that your hair was naturally curly. How do you keep it frizz free and live in such a humid state. Products are my friend to keep my curls in perfect ringlets.

Great List! It was fun to get to know you better.

Bridget said...

Geez, did Greg ever have hair? That could be number one on his list.

I linked here from Kari's blog. I am LDS too and we have a lot in common. I did 100 things too, it was fun. At first I didn't think I would have that much, but now I think I could do another 100!

angie we have a lot in common! i'm turning 35 this year too (i have to admit i'm struggling with it a little). i tear up easily, go to Target at least twice a week and have a hard time making decisions (i feel like i'm always the last to order at a restaurant). thanks for sharing your list! i liked getting to know you better.

Amberly said...

I'm just perusing your blog and I love your 100 list! I think you're facinating- I wish we could meet, however this way we can be friends considering you probably wouldn't want to meet anyone new... I'm catching onto your shy issue! thanks for sharing!
