100 Things

Well well well doesn't our little blog look different?? I personally think it looks prettier and cleaner and a little more modern, and I hope you all agree.

I figured seeing as the blog was all new, and it was almost the new year, and the fact that it's been a while since I've found the time to post, I would do a bumper edition of the Things About Me blog post we all know and love, so welcome to 100 Things You May or May Not Know about Amanda-Jaied Wathern!
