25 Facts About Me

I was "tagged" on facebook to write a note with 25 random facts about myself. I thought I would include those here. Enjoy!

1. My favorite season is Autumn. I love the colors, the crisp weather, and wearing sweaters without a heavy coat.
2. I'm huge on tradition. I think this stems from my dislike of change and my OCD.
3. I met my husband Gerrit in college while we were both RAs. We actually weren't allowed to date during that time but kind of did anyway. We got in big trouble for this. We even had to sign a contract about it. Don't get me started.
4. I don't like talking to people while I'm in a public bathroom stall. There's no need. We can wait till we're at the sinks, thank you very much.
5. But I love talking to strangers. I thoroughly enjoyed my job at Caribou for this reason.
6. Mmmm.....Caribou. My favorite drink is the Caramel Highrise.
7. I used to think I was adopted because I don't think I look like my family.
8. My favorite chips are ketchup chips.
9. I have very vivid dreams almost every night. I have lots of dreams about wolves and alligators.
10. I love, love, love musicals. I currently have a "Hello, Dolly!" song stuck in my head.
11. I don't want to move out of the Midwest. Not that I don't want to VISIT outside the Midwest. But I love all the seasons and the polite people.
12. I've been to Florida 3 times and never really liked the state itself. We even went to Key West for our Honeymoon. I loved the time spent with Gerrit, of course! But for sure, not my favorite place on earth.
13. I don't trust men with mustaches. Other facial hair is fine. But a straight up 'stache is not okay in my book.
14. I hate receipts. They make my purse messy. Yay for online banking!
15. I love the cereal "Ohs!" But I don't like how they scratch the roof of my mouth.
16. I love music, but I very rarely listen to it outside of the car.
17. I can memorize movie lines the first time I hear them. But I can't remember information for tests, Bible verses, or a mental grocery list. And I often forget to do things that I meant to do.
18. Learning about cults is fascinating to me. One of my favorite classes in college was all about cults.
19. I used to want to be a famous actress. Now, looking at the wonderful life I've been given, I'm so glad that God didn't bless me with the talent to make it in the biz.
20. I like the idea of running, but I actually hate to do it.
21. I'm very interested in the genealogy of my family.
22. I love to fall asleep on the living room floor before I go to bed.
23. I always laugh at myself when I trip.
24. I could eat some kind of potato for every meal. I love potatoes!
25. I love you all! Thanks for being you!
