I've Been Tagged - 25 Things About Me


I am not sure I can think of 25 things that are interesting enough for you to read about, but here we go!

1. I love THUNDER storms. I love them loud, like the thunder is right outside my window. I like the feeling of raw emotion that comes with the rain.
2. I love to be COMFORTABLE. I come home from work and immediately throw on sweats. I adore sweats. And I love to take my make-up OFF.
3. I love PHOTOGRAPHY. I love capturing those moments that you hope can live in your memory forever. I love seeing people smile and the joy in their faces. WEDDINGS are my favorite to do.
4. I love my ALONE time. I like to watch movies, scrapbook, read, take a long bath, walk outside... It doesn't happen often, but I like time to myself every once in awhile.
5. I don't really like ice in water - unless it's the tiny little squares - that ice is AWESOME!
6. I love poetry. I love to read it and I love to write it and I plan on publishing many more books throughout my life.
7. I have read hundreds of books and LOVE reading, but I couldn't tell you which books or who the author was -- I have no memory.
8. I adore SCARY movies! Thrillers, Mysteries, Blood&Guts, Vampires, Zombies -- all of the above.
9. When I was little I loved Barbies and I still think they are one of the best toys ever!
10. I love pasta. I can eat any kind of pasta. I can eat it any time of day. I can even eat it with nothing on it.
11. I love to dance. I love to express myself though movement. I love that I can get a great workout doing something I love so much.
12. I love to TEACH dance. I love sharing my passion. I love gaining friendships. I love laughing with my dance girls.
13. Lately I am addicted to drinks. I am always thirsty and I am always trying new drinks.
14. I love going out to breakfast with my dad. It doesn't happen as often as I'd like, but it's one of my favorite things to do with him.
15. I adore my nieces and nephews. They seriously are a light in my life. If I am ever having a bad day, I look at pictures of them and I instantly have a smile on my face. During some of the hardest times in my life, It was my nieces and nephews that gave me the courage and strength to move forward. I knew they loved me no matter what was happening in my life. I'm not sure how I ever made it through without them.
16. I've only been out of the country once - I went to MEXICO when I was 2 years old and my mom never put me down - not once, because she was afraid someone would steal her white, blonde-haired baby girl.
17. I love camping, boating and hunting. I love being outside. I love swimming in lakes. I love fishing. I love curling up on a camp chair and reading a book while listening to the chipmunks chatter. I love the smell of the mountains. I love camping food and I love eating the animals we hunt: elk, deer, quail, pheasants, etc. And I love the quiet.
18. I am a stacker. I stack things all around the house and one day I think - "I better organize." And I spend all day on one little section of STACKS and it usually looks worse before it looks better.
19. If I had the money I would get a massage 2 or 3 times a week.
20. I cannot wait to be a mom. I adore children and I am anxiously awaiting the day that Brian and I can raise our own children. I am excited to see if I have a red head -- only 3 more years hopefully...
21. I want so badly to be finished with school. And even as badly as I want to be done, I do not push myself as hard as I know I could - why is that do you think? I want to get my dumb bachelors degree so I can take classes that actually interest me - like photography and poetry.
22. I am so in LOVE with Brian. I know I don't always show it or say it, but WOW, I am one lucky girl. I am so proud to be by his side.
23. I love my job. Some days I don't want to go - it's true, but I love it. I love the girls I work with. I love my boss. I love taking pictures of houses. I love processing the pictures and I love designing on the computer. I have learned so much there and I am grateful.
24. I cannot wait to have my own house one day and have my own garden. Fresh garden vegetables are one of the best things in the world.
25. I miss my old friends. Sometimes I think about old memories and I wish I could see them and laugh about that memory. And I love my friends right now more than they will ever know. My closest friends right now are my life savors -- I could call Charity and talk to her about anything. Kim is the best at advice and she is ALWAYS on my side and I love hanging out with her. And Christa can make me laugh so easily and I always feel so 'chill' with her - like I know she just loves me for who I am. And thanks to all my other friends who make me smile everyday and are lights in my life.

I tag anyone who wants to take the time to tell me 25 things about themselves!
