201 (part one)

This is my 201st post. (I missed #200 yesterday gushing over my cute boys.) So, in honor of the occasion I made a list of 201 things about me.  The first 100 is a list of things that I love, miss, remember, hate, and hope for. 

I love...
1. Brooks' smile.
2. Toms. They are so comfy and leave me blister free after an entire day at Disneyland.
