I ♥ Homemade iced coffee drinks. Over the past few months, Matt and i have started to have less and less time to finish our coffee in the morning. So, our solution has been to stick it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and at night pour it on ice and it’s so good! ...

- Man how I wish I knew you back then..and I wish I still had my karate trophies. Great post. Love it.
- Jackie you forgot, softball, vollyball also some basketball and golf. I guess you would't have enough room on your blog to cover everything you did. And I left out all the things you only did once or twice. :)
- Oh my! You totally just shot up on my coolness radar! Bowling?? Haha! That's awesome! We should set up a game so far and I can show off my lack of skills :)

- PS...she still has her old bowling balls...yes that is balls (plural) apparently you need two for different "lane conditions". wowza you bowled a strike to my heart!!! I love you!!!
- oh this SO cracks me up, and make me love you more. So cute!
