25 Random Things About Me

I got this idea from one of my friends! Thanks Kami!

1. I love to have my head and back scratched. It is a very peaceful and comforting feeling. It usually puts me to sleep!

2. I can't sleep without a blanket. I even bundle with one on the couch. I would wrap myself in a blanket on the couch even on hot summer days growing up in Texas.

3. I can't stand being barefoot. I always wear socks or slippers around the house. I can't go outside without putting shoes on first. I even wear slippers in the summer time.

4. My favorite beverage is milk. I love the stuff. Especially when it is cold and fresh! Mmm!

5. Ballet was my passion when I was growing up. I started dancing when I was 7 and quit when I was 19. I miss it more than anything else in the world. If I ever get the courage....I would love to start taking classes again and possibly teach little girls.

6. I love to decorate. If I ever go back to school I plan on majoring in Interior Design and Decorating.

7. I had a crush on the same guy for 8 years. It started in the 3rd grade and finally ended my Sophomore year of High School when he got weird. I thought I was going to marry this guy. That never happened and it never will!

8. I am lucky to have a loving and supportive family. They have always been there for me.

9. Going back to number 8...I love all my siblings but I have become very close to my little brother, Stephen. Stephen got on my nerves when we were growing up but when I was going through a temporary separation with my husband 2 years ago...Stephen was my biggest comfort and we bonded. He was really sweet and bought me flowers and candy bars.

10. I'm seriously afraid of roaches. The stupid tree roaches in Texas can glide from the ceiling and sorta fly. I swear the evil things sense fear because they always come crawling after me.

11. I have an ulcer. The sad thing is that I had one when I was 11 too. I got that one because I was scared to start Middle School. It formed the summer before I started 6th grade.

12. I broke my ulna and radius in my left arm the summer before 3rd grade. I slipped on a step on the high diving board (15 ft.) and fell and landed on my arm. I remember hearing a crunch as I landed. I ended up getting a hot pink cast.

13. I was deaf in one ear when I was in Elementary school. Somehow I got the hearing back but I'm pretty sure that I will need hearing aides in my 40's.

14. I almost got held back a grade in Kindergarten because my teacher thought I was too shy and that I needed another year to learn how to be more social before I started the 1st grade. My mom wouldn't let the school hold me back.

15. My favorite candy bar is a Twix but I love Snickers and Butterfingers too!

16. I love furry animals. Cats are my favorite animal but I have a feeling that I'm going to become a dog person.

17. I love to watch a good chick flick and bundle on the couch during a rain storm.

18. My PE coach in the 7th grade asked me to join the girls basketball team. I laughed out loud because I thought she was crazy. I was under 5 foot then.

19. I have had the privilege to dance with 3 professional male ballet dancers. One of the highlights of my life.

20. My favorite movies are The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. Everything about the movies is awesome. Even the books are incredible.

21. I'm not the most outgoing person but I love to be around people. I don't have to be the center of attention....just involved!

22. I went on my first date and had my first kiss when I was 18 years old. Most people don't believe me when I say that!

23. I take pride in the fact that I look really young for my age. Most of my co-workers were shocked when they found out that I turned 25 last month. Most of them thought I was 21 or 22 at the oldest.

24. I swear there is a guardian angel watching over me when I drive. I have never been in a car accident which amazes me since I have a lead foot and I have a habit of tailgating.

25. My favorite meal my mom would cook when I was growing up was her spaghetti. I have the recipe and I enjoy making it for the ones I love!

The first three are things about me too. I totally hate being barefoot. I love getting my back and head scratched, and I have to have a blanket whenever I'm sitting or lying down. Fun post! I liked reading the random things about you.

That was fun! I took the highest level ballet class at the Vibe last night and it about killed me. The lady is from Russian and did the most excruciating barre I have ever done! I am looking into take a class on Tuesday at The Pointe Academy. Would be a blast to take a class together! www.utahvibe.com
