First things first...

I realize, that for those of you who read my blog it has been more than a little while since I have written anything. But, instead of apologizing... since having a blog in now way promises it's readers that there will be daily updates, I will simply tell you that all updates on wedding stuff, marriage, living in Kentucky, and my insane cat... will be coming soon.

NOW. Since Anna (my new sister) tagged me... I have to respond to that first... I just think it's polite.


1. Ten years ago I was... just starting my first year as a 7th grader. I knew no one at my school, I was known for a hideous over-sized Eeyore sweatshirt that I wore everywhere, I was just told that I needed braces, and I thought about running away daily because of all of those things.

2. Things on my to do list today... paint the guest room, do some laundry, clean out our walk in closet so we can turn it into an office, get dinner ready for Drew when he gets home, and anything else that pop's up between those things. I know... my life is pretty exciting. You don't have to tell me that.

3. Things I would do if I was suddenly a billionaire...
- Pay off our house
- Go clothes shopping
- Buy another house out in Kentucky (preferably one across the street from us) so that when friends and family came to see us they would have their own privacy and place to stay... or just buy a big house so that everyone we know could have their own room when they came to stay with us!
- Open a camp for children with Downs Syndrome, give a chunk of money to our church's building fund.

4. Bad Habits...
- I pop my knuckles... and my thumbs... and sometimes my toes. Don't judge me...
- I'm a snacker. I eat little things all throughout the day and then when it comes time to eat a meal... I can't finish it.
- I bite my nails. Every once and a while I'll stop cold turkey and grow out my nails, thinking that this time I'm really quitting... then two weeks later I'm back at it. They need to come out with a patch for nail biters.

5. Places I have lived...
- Laguna Niguel, California (with my parents)
- Laguna Niguel, California (with Becky and Elizabeth- I know I really branched out huh?)
- Louisville, Kentucky (with my new husband. Hi Drew, I like you.)

6. Jobs I have now or have had...
- Build-a-Bear Workshop: My first job ever... and my most embarrassing too.
- Blue Sky's Salon and Studio: I was a party manager for children's birthday parties. I loved it... until the management started getting shady... then I peaced out.
- Pottery Barn Kids: I was a floor set design manager. I worked crazy hours, but I loved that job, and the discount wasn't bad either!
- J Crew: I was just a regular sales associate, but everyone I worked with was so much fun. The discount was amazing... but I never saw a paycheck becasue I spent it on clothes... it's a weakness.
- Being a wife: Not to copy Anna, but it's true. Being a wife is my favorite job yet! And... one day I will be a mommy... one day far Far FAR away from now.

7. Things people don't know about me (quirky things about me)...
- I can't sleep without my body pillow
- I'm deathly afraid of bugs... all shapes and sizes. ESPECIALLY grasshoppers (which, don't worry... we only have about a billion out here in Kentucky)
- I can't stand a top sheet on my bed because I get tangled in it and then freak out... so I only use a duvet. Maybe that's gross... but I like it.

8. Things that make my life superfabulous right now...
- Being married
- Getting to move away from home and make a bunch of new friends
- Being able to decorate a whole new house
- Having family come out in a few weeks!!
- That I get to see Drew everyday. If that's too mushy for you... I'm sorry... grow up.

I'm tagging my husband... because I'm pretty sure that he's the only one that still checks my blog. But, in case you're not my husband and you did just read this super long post... consider yourself tagged.
