I thought I would share a few fun facts about myself.

• Mexican Food is my all time favorite. I would eat it every day ….chips, salsa, queso……ummmm.
• I’m learning to live and see life in a positive way, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
• I am the most competitive person you will ever meet. I don’t like to lose at anything and I’ve been like this since birth.
• I think I have a slight case of OCD. I cannot handle crooked picture frames and squeeky shoes.
• Sarcasm is my first language. English is a close second.
• Piano playing is the hottest thing ever.
• I have stopped planning out my life. It never worked out how I planned anyways. Funny huh?
• I feel free when I go sailing. I love to sit on the bow. It feels like I’m flying.
• A tattoo is in my future at some point. I’m just a bit indecisive about what I want.
• I have no problem being alone. I find rejuvenation in it. I like people for the most part but being around people 24/7 drives me nuts.
• I was not the best of children. I was expelled from preschool at 18 months old for biting. I use to come home every day from kindergarten with frownie faces because I had been bad. And I was kicked out of the accelerated program in 1st grade. Yikes!
• Music is one of the most powerful influences in my life. It inspires and comforts, sympathizes and energizes, empowers and relaxes. It has the power to change your energy and I cannot live with out it.
• I hate politics. There ‘s not anything I can do to change all the big decisions made in DC. So why stress, complain, and get angry over them. No worries.
• British accents…..enough said.
• I love to travel. I am being smothered in this small town of Knoxville. I have been blessed to travel so much already at a young age but now I’m addicted. I want more. I need more.
• Mysteries and puzzles excite me. I love to solve things. Work my brain in all different directions.
• The idea of having the husband, 2.5 kids, white picket fence and the dog terrifies me. Especially at my age.
• Even though I live in the south, I have never been cowtipping, rode a tractor, or worn overalls (when I had the choice, mom made me when I was little).
• Over the years I have struggled in what I believe. I questioned everything and now I know how I truly feel.
• Even though I may not seem like it, I am an outdoors girl at heart. I don’t mean killing what I eat and the like, but I love to be outside whether working or playing.
• I love that I have curly hair. It makes me happy.
• Green is my favorite color. I think it has been all my life but I just realized it a few years back.
• I don’t chew gum. It grosses me out.
• I will pretty much try anything once. Why not? It could be fun or at least a good story.
• Seriously, I have the greatest family ever. And remember not all family is blood.
