Emily's Top 57

So I've heard several times lately that I am difficult to shop for. So just for my fun and to make life easy on others who might need some ideas I'm going to make a top 100 list of things I want. Even though is is a little out of character for me I'm going to get over myself and if nothing else, make Nate's life a little easier :)

Okay, if you finished reading this list you deserve a reward! I only got to 57 things and I ran out. I can't think of anything else! Maybe I'll do a Wishlist #2 in a while or add to this one. I do have to say that this was an interesting experience for me. I NEVER tell other people what I'd really like because I feel selfish and materialistic. The funny thing is that making this list has made me realize how happy I am and can be without any of this stuff! Except maybe the family dinners and my weekends away with Nate :)

Anyway, hopefully this helps someone someday! It was fun to put together!
