101 is a BIG number, don't you think? Well there were 101 dalmations, which is A LOT of doggies, don't ya think? Then there is 100 degrees, that's HOT. 100 dollars is a good amount to have in your pocket. Let's face it, 100 is a big number, ESPECIALLY if it's the amount of weight you've lost! YEP...Jere has officially lost 101 lbs. Can you stand it? He did that in 3 1/2 months, it took me 5 1/2, whatev. He is looking great, even if he doesn't think there is that much of a difference. HA! He's confused!!! Below I offer pictoral proof.
ENJOY!

This is the SCHWEETEST post ever!! And holy shit I was really fat!! WOWZERS!!
I LOVE YOU ALLYSON NO NAME SHUMWAY VAN PATTEN!!!!!!!
That post was hilarious--as was Jere's comment afterward. Completely confirmed the "potty-mouth" part. :) I keep trying to tell him how different he looks, so I'm glad you have pictures to back that up. Happy birthday to Jere (in 10 minutes!)! And kuddos to you for being able to post a mega-long list of things!! WOW. My brain goes blank when I sit down to do that kind of thing!
what an amazing accomplishment! And the pictures are really wow factors! Way to go coming up with 101 attributes... i am not sure I could, about my husband. (and his birthday is the 23rd... perhaps if i get started now *scratches head*)
Music please: "Happy Birthday to Jere..." etc, sung of course, though not the same as your beautiful and caring wife could do, but with all sincerity. I have always loved your hugs - is that on the list? You are a hugger, and now, I can put my arms around you. Way to go! I know it hasn't been easy, but it sure looks worth it!
I've missed your updates. Be back for good, k?
Jere--wow! What a difference.
HAPPY BDAY!
WOW to both of you! He brings to meaning to Jere the Hottie! And I am so glad that you are back. I was seriously getting nervous as to why things were so silent on the vanpatten front--I will chalk it up to the move and rumors of some sort of trip to greer (which I am sure we will be hearing/laughing about in the near future! Ü
I sent you an e-mail to your marykay email, but in case it didn't go thru
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERE!
Wow, now that's creativity! I love my husband with all my heart, but I don't know if I could come up with a list like this!
Like I told Jere on Sunday "Wow you look 'yiddle' sitting there." Way to go bro. Looking at the diff. pics....HOLLY SNAPDRAGONS BATMAN!!! My mouth hit the floor when I saw them last night. It was fun thinking of the "list" last night... good laughs. Thanks Ally
Holy Cow Jeer!!! You look AMAZING!!!!!! I am so proud of you and what you have done!! You look more like Jeff and not so much like Aaron now! It was almost kinda scarey, but you little bro are HOT!!! Kudos to you and Ally for the amazing top 100 list! It was fun reading the list and thinking back to all the traits. However, I think you forgot one though... knife thrower!! Anyway, Happy Birthday late and give the kids hugs and kisses. Love and miss you guys, Auntie Fer :)
Hey jeer, good job-keep up the good fight.
HEY FER, scarey? i challenge you to a walk-off at the abandon factory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace,
Derek Zoolander
