25 things about myself.

the fun facts from facebook...

1. I thank God for mercy and grace practically daily.
2. My toenails are rarely ever not painted. And 99% of the time its a shade of pink. If my fingernails are painted, its just a french manicure. I don't like color on my fingernails.
3. I never ate avocados or guacamole until I was a sophomore in college. Now I eat them every chance I get!
4. I pray for a niece or nephew to show up in my life and ask my sister and ross for one pretty regularly. I realllllly want to be an aunt.
5. I have a slight addiction to dr. pepper.
6. I watch reruns of One Tree Hill, The OC and 90210 on the soap network almost every afternoon.
7. I actually love to read any book not assigned in a class I'm taking. On the same note, I actually like learning on my own time, just not to be forced to do it on my professor's schedule. That is why I don't like school.
8. Getting a dog was one of the best decisions I've ever made, hands down. It really has taught me to be more selfless and responsible. And its made me healthier too. :)
9. I've learned some hard life lessons in college, but feel like I've taken some of my classroom education for granted.
10. After being born, I went home and lived in the same room in the same house until I came to college. My parents just moved out of that house a month and a half ago.
11. My tv guilty pleasure is Secret Life of an American Teenager. But I also watch One Tree Hill, Grey's, Private Practice and Jon and Kate Plus 8.
12. I have to have a glass of water before I go to sleep at night.
13. I'm a lot more boring than I used to be. Somewhere between sophomore and junior year of college, I learned the value of sleeping.
14. I love going two-stepping. Its kinda a prerequisite for any guy in my future. Or at least a willingness to learn and take me dancing.
15. I miss the summer of 2007. a lot.
16. In first grade, I cut my own bangs in the dark without a mirror just in time for family Christmas photos. That picture lives on in the church directory. I wore a lot of hats for the next 6 months.
17.French fries are one of my favorite comfort foods.
18. I don't respond to a lot of things quickly because I don't like to respond out of any negative emotion.
19. Polar bears are my favorite animals. When I was younger, I used to want to grow up and turn my garage into a giant freezer so I could have one for a pet.
20. I really honestly love my job. Even if I'm having a busy week of school and some of my middle schoolers act insane, there are a handful of girls in my club that just make my life better. And I know a lot of really random information that always comes in handy.
21. I looove the beach. the sunshine, sand, warmth... I have so many fun memories from growing up near the beach (even if it was just Galveston) and other beach vacations. It will always be a special place to me. Thats why I want to get married on a beach.
22. I've wanted a tattoo since high school. I promised my parents I'd wait til after college to get it. Check back this summer :)
23. I honestly don't feel weird about being in the stage of life where my friends are married/getting married. And I like going to my friend's weddings. Mostly because I like to dance.
24. Blink 182 is back together, recording a new cd, and planning their next tour. My middle school self has a hard time containing my immense excitement about this. I plan on being at a concert near me.
25. I want to have horses when I'm older. I love them. I wish I had grown up around them regularly.
