25 Things About Me

Hey friends! I thought it would be fun to share some random facts about me. I always love reading these kinds of posts and hope you learn something new about me today!

1. Joey and I imagined having a baby boy named Jacob before we even got married. 
2. Change and big purchases scare me. A risk taker I am not.
3. My husband and I celebrate 20 years together in March! We grew up at the same church and he was my 4th grade crush. 
4. I ran two half marathons (2017 & 2018) and I’ll probably never run like that again.
5. Dogs > People. We want another one eventually but aren’t ready with a wild toddler.
6. I worked at the same school for 12 years- I taught 2nd, 3rd & 4th grade.
7. I have always wanted to work in health & fitness in some capacity, but never felt like it was something I could do.
8. Jurassic Park is the best movie ever- I love dinosaurs.
9. My mom waited tables for years to put food on the table for us. If you can’t afford a minimum 20% tip, you can’t afford to go out to eat. 
10. My baby has never once slept in his nursery… we both love having him in our room and I’m a firm believer in you do you when it comes to parenthood.
11. I hated high school…. everything about it.
12. I started out as a business major in college and it was not for me.
13. People that keep it real are my people.
14. I’m obsessed with all things Enneagram… I’m a one.
15. I can’t sleep without the hatch sound machine and my eye mask.
16. I’m really good at taking pictures, but really bad at ordering them.
17. Popular food items I do not like- steak, sweet tea, mayonnaise, alfredo & cheese unless it’s on my pizza.
18. Speaking of pizza, we usually order it once/week and always get pepperoni/banana peppers & well done. Our favorite local spots are Basilico Italiano & Due Amici. 
19. I graduated with a Masters in K-12 Literacy five months before having Jacob.
20. Being a mom makes my heart explode every day. 
21. A messy house drives me crazy but I’m getting used to the fact that it will never be perfectly clean again.
22. I am one of 5- I have two brothers and two sisters. They are the best!
23. I can’t stand clothes shopping. Life was meant to be lived in yoga pants.
24. I was induced directly after my 37 week appointment because my blood pressure was so high. I’ve never had high blood pressure in my life.
25. Party planning and hosting is my favorite… I want to throw down when this pandemic is over.

I’d love to get to know you better- tell me a random fact about you!
