Our Silver Anniversary

Today we are celebrating our silver anniversary - 25 MONTHS since LID. I'm really not sure what sounds better, 25 months or 2 years and 1 month. Either way it's a long time, but we continue to inch forward.

So...I thought I would "lighten" things up a bit and in honor of our "25th" I would post 25 phobias (it's was part of T's school assignment yesterday, and as their are way more than 25 I will try to post new ones in the coming days as well.) Some are ridiculous, while others are 'real' phobias. Have fun!!
