Turning 25
June 10, 2010
filed in Personal
I cannot believe how FAST time has already flown. I have now entered the "mid twenties" with a halting screech. Yikes...Looks like I am officially a grown up.
I figured it would be appropriate to write 25 things my blog readers might not know about me.
Happy Thursday!!!
1. I have a small dimple on the right side of my temple. I fell off my bicycle as a little girl and the scar never completely healed right. The scar stretched as I grew and now it sits on my temple. My best friend Bonnie loves to touch it. (I know that sounds weird)
2. I am still best friends with the girl I met when I was 3. Bonnie has been my closest friend and I know we will celebrate more birthdays to come with little mermaid cupcakes. Love you friend.
3. I LOVE potatoes. My new in-laws just learned this about me on our past Ireland trip. I could JUST eat potatoes for dinner and be happy.
4. I had an imaginary friend as a kid. His name was Rickie. Ya know what they say about kids who have imaginary friends? They're creative. (Or at least I hope that's what it means!)
5. I have had a crush on the pop group HANSON my entire life. I LOVE THEM. Yes yes yes,... the long haired mmmbop boys were my lovers. Move over Stephen, you might have to share the spotlight!
6. I still enjoy watching Disney movies. They make me happy. Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping beauty, and of course The Little Mermaid still make me smile
7. I have always wanted to be a dietician. Maybe I will get my degree as a dietician later in life.
8. I knew I had a love for photography when I visited Washington DC. We visited the place Abe Lincoln's was shot and in the museum, we could also see the blood stained pillow on display. I was 12 and owned my first film camera. I think I took about 16 photos of the blood stained pillow because I just COULDN'T believe that there was ABE LINCOLN'S blood on the pillow!
9. My favorite color is blue.
10. Tom Hanks has always been one of my favorite actors. Mostly because he reminds me of my dad.
11. My favorite dessert is BREAD PUDDING! YUM!
12. My Grandma is from Austria and my absolute favorite dish she ever made was goulash. Check out the receipe!
13. I once stood on the glass at the very top of the Twin Towers in New York City.
14. I married a lakers fan? One thing I'm not proud of. (BRING IT)
15. I changed my major in college about 5 times until I took a photo journalism class and my professor decided I should consider photography as a career path. Thanks professor.. looks like it worked out :)
16. I have a love for basketball. I had been on a basketball team since I was in 1st grade through my senior year of highschool. Anyone want to start a pick up game???
17. I ditched class in college during finals to go to Disneyland with Stephen. Not sure I got a A in that class but it sure looks like I got an A in the relationship though.
18. I once accidently filled up the dish washer with the wrong detergent and then had to clean up a million bubbles in my multicolored water socks.
19. I once drove from San Diego to Bakersfield on my way North to Santa Barabra to meet David Jay for lunch. I didn't intend on driving to Bakersfiend (which is THE WRONG FREEWAY) I then called him to tell him I was lost and I'm pretty sure he laughed at me. Not a proud moment in my life. I am definitely not making myself look good on this post!
20. My dad took me golfing when I was 7 and I picked up someone's ball marker on the putting green. I thought it was pretty and showed my dad what I found. They started laughing at me. It was round and pearly.
21. In high school, I thought my room was haunted because I heard lots of scratching on my ceiling. Nights and nights of scratching. No-one believed me until we noticed 6 red eyes in our attic. Thanks raccoons!!
22. Speaking of haunted, I visited the unsinkable Molly Brown's home in Colorado this past year. Stephen took a photo of me next to a window and a scary little creature is looking through the window. If you want to see the photo for proof.. let me know! I'd be proud to send it!
23. I stayed in the haunted hotel room at the Hotel Del Coronado on Halloween. Can you tell that I like adventure?!
24. I have a love for animals. More than most people. I honestly wish I could adopt every animal that needs a home, build my own shelter, and find homes for them. I think they are one of God's most beautiful creations.
25. I am deathly afraid of heights. I don't quite know when this fear actually developed but I don't like them. A few weeks ago, I walked over a rope bridge and conquered it. That won't be the last thing I'll conquer this year. I plan to do some great things and hopefully accomplish the goals I have set for myself personally and professionally.
This twenty five years have been amazing and I am taking a leap of faith that the next 25 will be even better. Happy Thursday everyone!!! Eat some bread pudding for me!!
