2. i hate spiders, but i will pick up a granddaddy long legs because i know they can't bite me.
3. i fell out of a truck the summer after i graduated from high school. it took nearly a year for the scars on my face to fade.
4. i got in a fight with a boy in fifth grade and didn't get in trouble. his teacher came into my classroom after recess and told me thank you!
5. i won the spelling bee in fifth grade but never learned how to do long division (still don't). i almost had to do a lesson on it when i was student teaching and panicked!
6. i don't like to be just good at something. i want to be the best. i lettered in five sports in high school (volleyball, basketball, soccer, track and cross country). i was named first team in volleyball my second year ever playing. i made first team and all east texas team in basketball my senior year. i was the only girl on the boys' varsity soccer team. in college soccer, i made first team my sophomore, junior, and senior years and conference co-mvp and letourneau's student athlete of the year my senior year.
7. i went to play basketball and majored in pre-med at ut dallas my freshman year of college. i left after my first semester, took a few months off, then went to play soccer and major in early childhood education at letourneau the next fall.
8. i worked at disneyland in fantasyland for nearly 6 months when we lived in california.
9. i am still a total tomboy. i'd take a gun, fishing rod, 4-wheeler, or ball any day over shoes, purses, makeup, and shopping.
10. i think i am one of the only women in the world unhappy about being skinny. i am always trying to gain weight, even when i'm pregnant. the most i have ever weighed (other than during pregnancy) was 120.
11. i gained 35 lbs. during both of my pregnancies. i lost 40 after i had riley.
12. jason is the only person who i will let see me cry, and even that doesn't happen very often.
13. josh turner is my celebrity crush.
14. i cancelled last minute for my first date with jason. it was a double date and he ended up being the third wheel. i guess he forgave me :)
15. in high school i told my friends that i would never live to be thirty. that's just over two years away, and now i pray that i will live to see my grandkids turn thirty :)
16. i have on old blog from college. you can find it here.
17. i do not drink coffee...yet. but then i do want more kids, so...
18. i have been to 7 countries and 25 US states (not including airport connections).
19. we didn't find out if riley was a boy or a girl when i was pregnant, and we didn't have a boy name picked out. we still couldn't agree on a boy name when i got pregnant with samantha. good thing they were both girls.
20. my mom is the only one among her siblings who hasn't been divorced. another good thing.
21. i flipped off a teacher in high school because i thought he would think it was funny. he didn't.
22. spring is now officially my favorite season. i love the blooms, fireflies, warm rains and thunderstorms.
23. in the 20 years i participated in contact sports, the worst injury i sustained was a concussion and bursted blood vessels inside my eye (i was temporarily blinded in one eye). i have never broken any bones in or out of sports (i did dislocate a bone in my hand/wrist after the truck fall, though). oh, and i sprained an ankle once playing intramural flag football.
24. i like the smell and taste of bananas but won't eat them because i don't like the texture.
did you learn anything new about me?
Why yes I did learn a few things............ and it brought back a lot of memories. I was scared that night you fell out of the truck.
ReplyDeleteMy confession: I miss you!!
Hope
Hmmm..... I knew most of this but had forgotten about the falling-out-of-the-truck. Wow, you are one tough chicka! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss you.
