A Little Bit About Me

A re-post from Facebook...just a little glimpse into my life and some the quirky, fun, boring things that make me who I am!

1. I love love love to cook and bake. I believe that is the reason Brian married me.
2. Brian and I will celebrate three years of marriage on May 19th.
3. I wish we would have had a reception and dance at our wedding so that I could have danced with my daddy.
4. I miss my Grandpa Francis so much and I think about him everyday. I would give anything to have him back for just one more day.
5. There is one person that I wish I could have a relationship with again but I don't think it will ever be possible.
6. I LOVE the color pink!
7. I love rocking out on my IPOD while cleaning the house. This also involves dancing like an idiot and singing loudly. This habit annoys Brian.
8. I wish I could play the piano.
9. I love being outdoors.
10. I really miss hiking the Konza Prairie in Manhattan and wish that we had a place like that around here.
11. I love my family dearly and wish that I saw them more often.
12. My dad and I have this thing with monkeys. I even unwrapped a talking monkey at my bridal shower. Dad had slipped it in the gift from my parents.
13. My nickname as a child from my uncle Denny was Hoptoad and a customer at the grain elevator my dad used to run called me Puddin'. I think I've finally outgrown those nicknames.
14. I can't wait to have children, but Brian and I are waiting a little while longer.
15. My favorite dessert is my grandma's custard pie. YUM!
16. I love to bake and decorate sugar cookies. I am building quite the collection of cookie cutters.
17. My dog Lucy is the coolest and she always keeps us on our toes.
18. I would like to run a marathon someday, but I know that is probably unrealistic. I think I'll shoot for a half marathon.
19. I LOVE pickles...especially Claussen pickles.
20. I love to garden and plant flowers. A rototiller in on my wish list.
21. I miss living in Manhattan and would like to live there again someday.
22. My favorite show as a child was Alf. I still have my Alf doll from back in the day. It's actually in my closet.
23. I collect crosses and you will find them all over our house.
24. I like to take really long showers and bubble baths.
25. I have an obsession with candles and if I see a new scent I have to stop and smell it. This drives Brian crazy.
