29 things...

With yesterday being my 29th birthday (I was supposed to post this yesterday) I thought it would be cool to post 29 things about me you might not know! Here goes:

29. I am a twin (surprisingly some people don't know this!)
28. I am married to my childhood friend (again some people don't know this) ~ we met when I was 9 and he was 11.
27. I was an Air Force brat (for a small period of time ~ both my mom and father were in the force)
26. My parents divorced when I was 5 years old and we moved to Prescott to be closer to my Grandma.
25. When I talk about my "dad" I really am talking about my stepdad, Andy... he is everything a dad should be and has always been there for me! I LOVE YOU!!
24. I graduated college in 3 years instead of 4 from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University because   1) I worked HARD and 2) I started the summer of my senior year in High School. I also maintained Dean's List and a B average during all of that!
23. At one point in college I had 3 jobs! AND a long distance relationship!
22. My favorite color is purple
21. My favorite drink would have to be Sex on the Beach or a Mojitio
20. I have a few really great friends that I still am in contact with (almost on a weekly basis) that I
      have known since 1st grade!
19. I LOVE Magic Mountain... and this used to be a yearly trip with Ry and I (until our sweet kiddos)
18. I have lived in 5 different states.
17. I have been to almost all of the 50 continental US states and AK ~ still waiting to go to HI
16. I have been to Europe (and obviously Canada and Mexico)
15. I love to take pictures; although I do not claim to be a photographer! However I have been asked multiple times to take pictures for people.
14. I am not sporty at all and once when I was younger I didn't like doing anything outdoors!
13. My first car was an 89 Escort Pony and for some retarded reason my dream car when I was 16 was a Neon.
12. I am kind of a clean freak... well maybe its an organized freak. My house doesn't have to be spotless but I need it to be straightened all the time! And Ry gets mad at me because he says I follow behind the kids picking up.
11. I would love to travel with the kids! Even though it would be hectic!
10. I cannot bake very well! Although I like to.
9. I love to cook and try different things but I tend to get tired when it comes to dinner time and don't feel like it all the time.
8. I yell WAY TOO MUCH! I am not perfect!
7. I love to shop but I need to be in the mood and I typically look for bargains not necessarily name brands.
6. My sister is one of my best friends (besides Ry and Lacy)
5. I am very forgiving! And sometimes this is a bad thing.
4. I secretly want to do something BIG for my 30th birthday like a party or trip with my sister and our men.
3. I wish I could rearrange my house each month to change things up... makes me feel like things are new.
2. I am sometimes stubborn, but I hate to fight. I cannot stand if someone is mad at me and I HAVE to fix it!
1. I am me! And I love my life! I thank God everyday for the people in my life and I wouldn't change a thing about it!


Happy 29th Birthday to my sister and me! This year is going to be a great year!
