Ah, we can relate to the poor law school days... We had some interesting times coming up with fun stuff to do on no money!

11 years is a long time. Congratulations putting up with Jon that long!! hehe

I was not surprised by the looong list of cars you've owned. That much I already knew about you guys. But it was fun learning more about you. What a great list idea!

That is a cute idea you did of remembering all that, its funny looking back how far you have come from being first married.
