44 There are far more pictures of my wife’s family then mine in my house.
45 According to the wedding pictures my wife hung on our wall my family was not at the wedding.
46 It bothers me.
47 My Wife’s reasoning was that Alex was on his mission and Beth was not present so we had a complete Herrington Family Picture taken one year later which is hanging on the wall. And when Will repeatly mentioned how much this disturbed him she called the Garbers to try to order an 8x10 from the wedding day but it was 3 years after the fact and they did not have the digital proofs anymore. (this one was added by Stephanie)

66 I was not very impressed with my wife when I first met her. (In fact my opinion was less then charitable)
67 I obviously grew out of it.
68 Yes I love her a lot. (original number 68 was erased by my wife) hehehehe
69 Our current education system angers me.
70 One specific thing that upsets me is the way the government distributes resources to schools.
71 If you get me started on our school system be prepared for me to make a completely emotional argument based on what I have seen, with no reference to any facts or figures.
72 I am addicted to education.
73 I have actually started having withdrawal symptoms after finishing my Masters.

75 Instead of complaining about it I have begun studying Spanish. (That’s going kind of slow)

80 During my seven years of post high school education I put on weight and lost a lot of muscle tone.
81 I’m currently fixing the problem now that I don’t spend thirty hours a week studying.

83 I have learned that now that I have a Masters degree people listen to me even when I’m full of crap.

87 I have learned more about the Bible then Abraham lived in Ur and Hannah had no children.
88 I find reading the Book of Mormon to be very therapeutic.
89 I think it would be cool to grow out my beard again. (But then my wife would refuse to kiss me)
90 I recognize the Tear Drop as the Tangible construct of my essential nature. (See what I mean about big words and social elitist language)
91 I laugh at self-proclaimed existentialist due to the fundamental similarities between their philosophical ideology and Nephi’s description of predominant attitudes among men. (2 Nephi 28:7) (there I go with the elitist language again)

94 I sometimes read the Dictionary when I have nothing else that needs to be done.
95 I would love to take a two-week vacation and complete a solo Canoe trip at Boundary Waters.
96 My first cognitive memory is of being three. Once evening I saw the sun set in a field, and became convinced that sunk into some kind of trap door. I spent a great deal of time the next day in that field looking for the trap door.
97 I recognize that science, although a discipline based on observation, relies on several assumptions. (These assumptions are Determinism, Empiricism, Parsimony, Testability)

100 I would love to be able to teach on a college campus
