yaaaayyyy!!!! you did one! you did it BEAUTIFULLY! this makes me want to turn mine into a 2-pager because your journaling brought to mind many things that i wish i'd included. lol! oh well... there's always next year's layout. hehehe GREAT work!
I love this! I read every last detail and could identify with so many. I love the part about if there was a disorder for taking pictures, you'd have it. ME too!! Great humor and journaling!!
This page was totally inspired by Amanda1201. As soon as I saw her layout this morning the wheels started turning and I just had to do a page like this for my kids…even though I just did a 27 fav things….but this definitely goes more in-depth. The text should be easier to read in real life since I put a slight drop shadow on it. Here’s a link to her great layout: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/112099/view/1236229/-1/0/1.html

Journaling: This is me. I am your mother. I am 27 years old, but inside I still feel like I am 17. I drive a mini-van and that makes me feel old. I am a stay-at-home mom and, although I have frustrating days sometimes, I feel like that is a huge gift. I love your daddy. He’s the shy one and I’m the loud one and somehow we totally fit each other. I love to drink sweet tea. For this reason, I love visiting the South because they always have sweet tea. I love to take pictures, so much that if there was a disorder for it, I’d probably have it. I am so afraid of forgetting any of the great moments that we have together. I think I am also overcompensating for my childhood where there weren’t as many pictures. The picture obsession feeds into another obsession, digital scrapbooking. I have always loved graphic design (and I really kick myself for getting a Marketing degree instead of graphic art) so this hobby combines several things that I really love to do. I will NEVER EVER eat beets again. I hated them as a kid and now that I am adult I do not have to eat them. I also hate oatmeal, sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, tapioca, and anything mushy. I have a major aversion to certain textures (like mushy and lumpy stuff), so that explains some of the foods that I cannot stand. I love chocolate, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies (and the dough too!), Mexican food, oreos….and the list could go on for awhile. Your daddy and I both love to eat. We really enjoy going out to eat together, especially to eat Mexican and ice cream. I love being pregnant, having babies and breastfeeding. I absolutely love to watch both of our kids grow and we get so excited about every new thing they can do, say, and accomplish. I love to go shopping, but I hate the mirrors at the store. They always make me look fatter than I do at home. I am always too self conscious about my weight. But I hate to diet and exercise. I am really terrible at sports. I have never in my life been able to do a cartwheel. I can’t let myself fall down, even on a slip ‘n slide. I bite my nails, which is a very very bad habit. I like to change my hairstyle often because I get bored with the same old thing. I have no sense of direction. I have to concentrate really hard on not getting lost and then a lot of times I get lost anyway. I hate being yelled at. I don’t like people with a condescending attitude. I cry very easily at movies and am very sentimental. I love to sleep and I would probably sleep about 10 hours a day if I could. I also love my fluffy pillow. I love the different seasons but I think Illinois winters are too long. I like to play in snow but I don’t like to drive in it. I love the Christmas season, mostly the songs, cooking and family time. I don’t enjoy all of the shopping, and things and commercialization. It annoys me to see Christmas decorations come out in October. I love it when spring comes and everything turns green again. I enjoy looking at the (purple) redbud trees and spring flowers. I like summer but I think it gets too hot. The perfect temperature is about 75. I love to swim. That is one form of exercise that I wish I could get a lot more of. I also love Fall because of the cooler temperatures and the beautiful colors. It is a pet peeve of mine to be called Jennifer, since my name is Jenny. I think my toes are ugly. My favorite color is turquoise. I love the smell of coffee grounds, fabric softener, and almond extract. I make really good homemade angelfood cakes. I have really neat handwriting but I have forgotten how to write cursive. I type really fast and also read really fast. I like crushed ice and Strawberry Crush soda. I like animals a lot, especially big dogs like labs. I am double-jointed. I am terrified of snakes and bugs. I can’t drive a stick-shift car. I love living in the country.
