100 Things About Kristin

Okay I finally did if, I learned how to blog. Watch out world, here I come. Thanks to my friend Cassi, who came over and showed me how, I am now part of the internet. I thought I would start my first post off with something I saw a friend do on her blog, give you a list of 100 THINGS ABOUT KRISTIN. Now I realize my family will probably know all of the things on the list, but won't it be fun to think of them all again. Hope you enjoy.

18. I snuck in before my birthday into my mom’s closet and found my Cabbage Patch Doll; I then proceeded to climb into the closet every day to rub the dolls head I was so excited to get one. Until my mom caught me and with disappointment told me I had ruined my birthday.
