Yesterday I turned 25! Last night I had a wonderful birthday dinner with the hubby at Grimaldi's -my favorite pizza place. But instead of writing about all of the stuff I did with family and friends right now I am going to share a little about myself...how about 25 things you may or may not know about me inspired by my 25th birthday.
1. Ken and I have both have had 3 jobs in the past year! 2. I lived in Arizona for 7 years and I lived in 7 different houses during that time 3. I am terrible about returning phone calls - sorry if I never called you back 4. I have an awesome memory and in college I would wake up to 'study' a few hours before a test and just memorize the whole book/notes - hello Dean's List 5. I love the rain so much and it just happened to start pouring when Ken proposed in the Bahamas 6. I love dogs- I would have a rescue center in my home if Ken would allow me 7. I love scary movies and when I was little I used to fall asleep to them every night (like I was 8 yrs old falling asleep to The Exorcist...creepy, I know) 9. Hubby hates scary moves so I usually only watch them now when he is out of town, by myself 10. I love planning parties and events but I have never actually planed one that I have hosted 11. I am a homebody - I'd rather be hanging on the couch than out and about 12. I truly love shopping-I don't even care if it's shopping for me or someone else-I love it all 13. I didn't know how to do laundry until I went to college 14. I never cry (unless I'm super frustrated) and my mom always said I needed to see the Wizard of Oz for a heart 15. I do cry at funerals (like uncontrollably and embarrassingly) even if I hardly knew the person 16. One of my favorite things in the world is roller coasters - there has never been one high or fast enough in my opinion 17. My ideal vacation is going somewhere with a beach but I dislike salt water and sand and usually only go to the resorts pool and just look at the beach 18. I love doing yoga and would love to get certified to teach it someday 19. I took a surfing lesson on our honeymoon and loved every minute of it (I never fell once) 20. I was a competitive swimmer growing up and one of my biggest fears is drowning 21. Even though I am a girly girl I think I am very tough...not sure where that self confidence comes from 22. I don't stress, at all, and it drives my family crazy because I am so relaxed about everything 23. I used to have a phobia of wearing the same outfit more than once...I am slowly getting over that phobia 24. One of my goals is to learn to play guitar and play during worship at church - I got a guitar for Christmas 2 years ago and still have never picked it up 25. My mom swears by the old wives tale of the pencil test to predict how many kids/gender you'll have and I am suppose to have 3 girls and 1 boy (http://pencilpregnancytest.com/ see for yourself...it has never been wrong on anyone we have done it to)
I had an awesome 24 years of life and I know 25 will be the best year yet! I would love to hear about your fun/quirky things that make you who you are. Share something random in the comment section if you feel daring enough!
Lol, we are so much alike that it's funny! Must be related :)
ReplyDeleteI love these and have so many comments! We have been married almost 7 years and have lived in 8 houses. I'm so sick of moving. I too love planning parties, but I have hosted quite a few. You must be excited for your house-warming party! I love the tough girly-girl. I feel exactly the same way about myself.
ReplyDeleteHere's one about me. I cannot go to sleep if the closet door is open. It's not that I'm afraid. It's more that I am slightly OCD.
