You've never sang Karaoke or donated blood? Wow...you've never truly lived Jen. :) JK

In other news, I can't believe how grown up Ronan looks in that picture! I can't wait to see him in a couple months!

I like your new layout! Cute haircut in the picture too. :)

In my defense, I can't give blood because of the medication I take and Karaoke... I guess I just haven't gotten around to it yet???

Ah, the bucket list. This is a fun little post. There are many experiences you highlighted in this list aren't "unimportant" silly! Btw, I think that with the right group karaoke is fun but I don't like doing karaoke solos! : )

Jen! Oh how I have missed you my dear, dear friend! Your not-so-little Ronan is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Oh that face, those wittle cheeks, and those eyes...it just makes me want to snuggle him!!! Is he a snuggle bug? He sure looks like a sweet heart. : )I like the new pictures of all of you. Little Miss Sunshine is looking so grown-up and Troy, well...he looks like one proud daddy! And you, you are looking like a skinny-mini...you are one HOT mama!
