25 Things About Me

Well, here it is. I know it took me a long time to finally post this, but maybe once you read it you will understand...haha! Hope you enjoy...

1. I love being married.

2. I aspire to own my own business someday…possibly doing something creative like flowers, wedding planning, decorating all in one!

3. I really don’t take long showers, but spend half of the time standing there dreading getting out because I might get cold! Plus, I can’t STAND the feeling of wet hair against my back!

4. I love Q-tips…and use them everyday!

5. I’m really bad at answering my phone. If you know me at all, you’ve probably been on the receiving end of this and I apologize. (It’s not really on purpose…most of the time :o) )

6. I absolutely love my job! It’s been stressful, fun, exciting, and eye-opening getting to start my career.

7. I have a love/hate relationship with living in Lafayette. I LOVE that we have an adorable home and are making lives for ourselves here. I HATE being away from family and friends. I LOVE being so close to my college stomping ground. I HATE that none of my friends are here to enjoy it with me. I LOVE the freedom I have living in a new place. I HATE the smell of this city!

8. I could eat spaghetti, chips and salsa, and mac and cheese everyday and not get sick of them!

9. There are times when I focus so much on HOW to organize something that I end up not doing anything because I can’t make a decision.

10. I have serious issues with making decisions. Pathetic I know…but I just get too tied up with thinking about every possible outcome that I end up not making one at all!

11. I like to consider myself one of the grammar police. (ask my parents…also, the idea that “mac” in #8 is written with a red squiggly underneath is driving me nuts already!)

12. I love to use big vocabulary when I talk, write, text, email, blog, etc. (M is always sure to point this out and laugh)

13. I absolutely HATE chipped nail polish. If one little piece chips away, I immediately start picking the rest of it off. It drives me crazy!

14. I love when you can be so close with someone that you can just look at them and immediately know what they are thinking without saying a word.

15. I like to turn on every single light on my way to any room. Maybe I’m still scared of the dark?!? (Ex: Last night the power went off and I was all by myself. I screamed, the dog jumped, and I scrambled for my cell phone…for the light of it of course! Then with my phone guiding the way, I safely made it to some matches, lit a few candles (ok, maybe enough to start a bonfire), and then called my parents.) The lights came on 10 minutes later :o)

16. I am so thankful for my amazing family. I don’t know where I would be without them in my life.

17. I feel equally lucky to have married into an amazing family.

18. I’m so excited to be an aunt! Baby G will be spoiled rotten.

19. I believe retail therapy really cures all things. I used to hate the idea of shopping by myself, but having done a lot of it lately (see # 9) I have learned to really enjoy it. I could spend hours in a store and never buy anything…which drives M crazy!

20. My friends are absolutely amazing! I know that no matter how life changes, we will always be able to pick up right where we left off.

21. I <3 procrastinating! (maybe that’s why its taken me so long to do this…but it could just be #10)

22. I despise doing the laundry. M thinks I need laundry 101 classes. I think he may just take over that job!

23. I drink 2 cups of coffee every morning. With yummy flavored cream of course!

24. If you told me I was going to end up married to the boy I met in high school when I was only 15, I probably would have said you were crazy! Now, I know that I was crazy to waste any time at all with him.

25. When looking back over these 25 random things about myself, I realized how truly blessed/exciting/happy my life has been. I can only pray that it will continue to so in the future :o)
