30 Days of Blogging - Day 1

I've been seeing a few people doing this 30 Days of Blogging and I've really enjoyed reading their posts so I decided I'd jump on the bandwagon too. There might be some lag between posts, but I'll do my best to eventually get 30 blog posts done. It just might not be done in 30 days time...

Day 1

A recent picture of you and ten interesting facts about yourself.

I can't guarantee that these facts will be interesting, but they'll be facts!

1. I love to read. Seriously. I go from one book to another. I have to read at least a little bit before bed each night to help be settle down and fall asleep. Right now I'm reading The Shelter of Stone by Jean M. Auel.

2. On days I work in the office, I have to drink flavored milk in the mornings on the ride there. Chocolate, strawberry, root beer, vanilly - whatever. I just don't like drinking it plain.

3. I secretly like taking my 4-year old grocery shopping with me. We always have a good time together. When he was 3 years old, he wouldn't ride in the cart. But come 4 years, he'll ride in the cart! Watch out though because we go 'fast like a race car'!

4. I'm attempting to train for a 10K run I signed up for in July. I've yet to run 10K at all, only done about 3 or 4K at a time. Mostly this is because I don't have much time to get out and do it and a lot of the time I'm pushing a stroller too which makes things a bit more difficult. I'm really excited for this challenge though and I've really been enjoying running like I never have before.

5. I'm growing a {huge!} garden this summer and caring for flowers in my flower bed too. I'm also extremely afraid of bugs and other creepy crawlies... Luckily, I have been very brave so far this year and have learned that as long as I don't examine the dirt too closely I'm okay! I'm growing strawberries, pumpkins, watermelons, green beans, onions, garlic, cauliflower, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, basil, and melons.

6. I love boba berries on my frozen yogurt at Orange Leaf.

7. I've only slept a whole entire night only one or two times in the last year and a half. It's a good thing God equipped mother's with the ability to still function on little or interrupted sleep!

8. I blush on demand. I hope that by posting this people won't use it against me! I'm such an easy blusher though and I hate it. I really, honestly do. It happened REALLY bad while I was pregnant, but I blamed it on having 30% more blood in my body, but it's STILL happening! I wish there was a cure for it though because it's so embarrassing. Good thing my brother is a Pharmacist so maybe there's hope for me yet!

9. I like to have my bed made. No matter how clean the rest of the house is, if my bed is a shuffled-up mess, the whole house feels like it's in disorder too!

10. I love my house and my neighborhood, but if I could pick up my family, my friends, and our workplaces, I'd consider moving somewhere else. I might not even be that picky about where as long as it was safe and has a season of warmth, just somewhere outside of Utah (not that there's anything wrong with Utah!).
