You always have loved putting list's together. I was just thinking of all the things you do already. You are a most kind and caring young lady.Your kindness passes on to more people than you think Along with your sisters of course:)
I am so proud of all you do. You could call your list fun things yet to come in my life :) I'll talk to you later(glad it's more than once a week:) Love you Mom

Good idea mom. "Fun things yet to come..." I like it. It took me awhile with this list. I've been thinking about it for days. I wanted it to be meaningful. Not some bull crap list.

I seem to be already struggling with some on the list...good thing I have a year to get them on the right track.
