Me, Me, Me

So, I finally took the time to write my "25 Random Things About Me" to be posted on Facebook last night and because it took me so long to come up with these I decided I would go ahead and post them on here too!!! I have tweaked and updated a few- it was late when I finished last night and some of these were a little goofy!


1. I am crazy in love with Gregg! He is the most amazing and wonderful man and a fantastic husband. I am so grateful that God picked Gregg for me and me for him!

2. I have the most incredible family ever! My parents are amazing and have shown me what true love is thru their own marriage and have taught me that the best things in life are worth fighting for. My little brother is an inspiration to me- he is the hardest working person that I know and I feel truly lucky to be his sister. I love my sister-in-law and absolutely love and adore my niece- my family has been blessed by them.

3. I dream about being a Mommy and hope that Gregg and I can be the kind of parents to our children that our parents were to us!

4. I honestly believe that my wedding was one of the most beautiful and special weddings I have ever seen/ been a part of. (I know I am a little biased!) I loved the way that the day was so personal and totally about Gregg and I and our families!

5. We had the most beautiful flowers at our wedding! (Last thing about the wedding I promise!) Our florist used cotton boles and wheat in all our arrangements that came out of my Grandfather’s and Gregg’s father’s field. My bouquet was beautiful and it was all way better than what I pictured!

6. I have the best friends in the world! I love that have several different and diverse groups of girlfriends and each one of them plays such a special role in my life!

7. I love going to work each day and I love my job! I enjoy being able to meet so many students and help them to grow in their studies. I feel so blessed to be a nurse and to be a part of a wonderful profession (and to know that I have guaranteed job security!)

8. I bleed RED AND BLACK!!! I am a die hard Red Raider and am slightly obsessed with Texas Tech football!

9. I love living in the DFW area but do admit that I miss Lubbock and frequently get sad that Gregg and I live so far away from our families! (Especially when they are all together for a family function and we are here instead.)

10. Gregg and I love food to a fault!!! We are trying so hard to be healthy but it just isn’t near as enjoyable or fun!

11. I have a very crazy gag reflex and I really can’t describe what it is that sets me off. EX: I had to turn the Kidd Kradick morning show down yesterday on my way to work when JC was eating the Beef Stroganoff “Out Of The Box” and was crunching the noodles and describing how terrible the powder smelt. I was gagging and retching and nearly threw up!

12. I wish that we hadn’t moved around so much while I was growing up (I attended schools in 5 different school districts and never went to any one school for longer than 4 years). I pray that Gregg and I can settle somewhere and barring a major family crisis raise our children in the same community they were born into.

13. I am addicted to TV and watch way too many shows! Even shows that really aren’t all that great I still watch just because I am addicted to them! I wish I could break this terrible habit and take up something more physically challenging and demanding!

14. I watch “The Young And The Restless” every single day! Gregg has even learned to watch it with me because I am that obsessed (and he is that great of a guy)!

15. I am also addicted to my laptop and spend too much time on the Internet!

16. I was asked in my marital counseling what I would do in life if money wasn’t and issue and I knew that I would be successful. My dream job in that case would be to open up a wrapping paper and stationary store (yes, just like Papperie but only better!) I am obsessed with wrapping paper and tissue paper and keep everything that gifts I get are wrapped in. I have it all stored upstairs in my office. (Poor Gregg!)

17. I am a tad bit neurotic- especially when it comes to my work!!!

18. Because of #17, my partner at work drives me absolutely CRAZY and I plan on unpacking her boxes tomorrow (while she is out of the office) that have been sitting on the floor of our new office since we moved in over a month ago!

19. I love to sleep and pretty much have to have my 8 hours of sleep each night! I take a Melatonin each night so that I can sleep through the night and wake up rested!

20. I LOVE to read and could probably open up a used book store with all the books that are boxed up and stored in our garage!

21. I want to have a garage sell! We have so much stuff out there that we need to go through and get rid of. I just don’t have it in me to do it right now. Anyone wanna help?!?!?

22. I have always slept with the fan on high but that bothers Gregg’s allergies and he has always slept with the fan off. I have learned to compromise on even the small things recently and we sleep with the fan on low now!

23. I want to take country dance lessons with my husband and to be able to twirl and spin all over the dance floor.

24. I LOVE my Fireman and am so very proud of him for what he does and who he is!

25. I think that I have gotten way more detailed doing this than what was probably intended! (No wonder I have been putting off doing this for so long now!)
