Things you may not have known about me
This post is all over Facebook right now, and since I don’t bother posting notes on my Facebook (because I have a blog that I enjoy keeping up to date more…) I decided to post it here. I’m not going to tag anyone. Mainly because I don’t really know anyone that reads this, but if you feel the urge to make your own list, then by all means go ahead. The one on Facebook only asks for 25 things, but just in case I decide to go over, you have atleast been forewarned 🙂
1. I believe that Josh is the only person in the world that I could ever spend my life with.
2. I am 100% positive that my son is the cutest little boy to ever grace the planet (though I’m also 100% sure that every mother out there believes the same thing.)
3. If I had the time, I would pursue about 5 different career paths in life: Journalist, Psychologist, High School English Teacher, Interior Decorator & Architect.
4. I am fasinated with old buildings.
5. I tend to over-analyze almost everything.
6. I have kept a journal since I was in 4h grade.
7. I have full intentions of someday publishing my journals from Junior High till now in a book.

10. I am a firm believer in soulmates, destiny, and fate.
11. I eat more chicken than I do anything else.

13. I have a love/hate relationship with my Blackberry.
14. I am very shy when I first meet someone.
15. Planning my wedding was probably THE most stressful thing I have ever done in my life.
16. Having my IV inserted when I had Noah hurt 100 times worse than getting an epidural.
17. I have not ran across a man in this world yet that I would ever even consider leaving Josh for (I know a lot of people that say that they would leave their husband/wife for a celebrity…seriously can’t think of one that I would leave Josh for.)
18. The only crossword puzzles I am good at, are the ones you find in People and US Weekly.
19. I would rather text than talk on the phone…talking seems to take up so much more time.

33. One day, when we have plenty of money, I plan on opening my own Pageant Coaching School.
34. Josh and I have decided that we are not going to have anymore kids of our own (unless God wants us to)…the next baby we have we are going to adopt.

36. I think buying gas is the equivalent of throwing money out a window because of it’s ridiculous price.

99. If I could die and come back as someone else, I think I would want to just come back as me…there are alot of things that I would like to do that I never got to do.
100. I believe myself to be a very real, but somewhat complex person to get to know.
There, now everyone who reads this can say they know a little something more about me…that was actually pretty easy. I could have probably written a few more, but after 100 facts, I’m sure that if anyone has read this, they are bored by now.
