Andrew and I have a lot of similarities! I also put my milk in the freezer for a few minutes, love the Caribbean, Peanut butter and chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins is the best, and cats are my favorite animal too. I'm so glad that being stake president isn't on my list of our similarities. (-:
ReplyDeleteThat's cool to see your similarities, Amy! And I think most of us are happy to not have a calling in common with him. Ha!
DeleteThese are priceless Andrea. Thank you for sharing! And my favorite ice cream is peanut butter and chocolate too! If I slip in my resolve to not get any fatter than I already am and buy the pint of Ben and Jerry's I can absolutely eat the whole thing in one sitting!
ReplyDeleteHa! That must be a strong gene that you passed on to both of them. :)
