25 random things about me

I have been tagged many times in the last few days to list '25 Random Facts about you' by friends on facebook. It has been fun reading others so I thought I'd better reciprocate. Here goes....


1. I have ran 2 marathons and 3 half marathons. Slowly, but I have the medals to prove my finishes!

3. I have lived in 7 states.

4. I can take fold my socks with my toes.

5. I love to use exclamation points! I also like to talk as if exclamation points follow what I am saying! That makes sense in my head.

6. I have the cutest nephews in the world that are rapidly turning into handsome young men.

7. My niece is so beautiful-her parents are already nervous about her teenage years and all the young men that are to come.

8. I HATE pickles-I often wonder why God would allow something so foul to be created?!

9. I can go weeks on only a few hours of sleep each night.

10. American Eagle jeans are my favorite type of jeans. I think that I'll refuse to get too old to shop there!
11. I can quote 'Father of the Bride', 'Tommy Boy' and 'High Crimes'. Three very different movies I just realized, hmmm.

12. Reading is my FAVORITE thing to do! I can't think of anything that I would rather do than lose sleep over a good book.

13. I am going to Tegucigalpa, Honduras this summer with a team from Bethel. I am nervous that I will want to stay and will cause a scene whalst boarding the plane home.

14. My first kiss was at Bethel, but while I was in high school.

15. My siblings and I used to act out WWF (wrestling) tournaments. My famous move was to lay on my back and kick-I was typically the announcer : (

16. Lately I have been listening to Pandora constantly; maybe obsessively. I do enjoy music in the background of everything I do, so I doubt it'll stop soon!

17. If I had to pick an actress to play me in the story of my life I would pick Mariska Hargitay. She is my favorite! Just so you know the title to my life (that would first be a best selling book) would be 'Awesomeness!'

18. Daniel is my favorite Old Testament book of the Bible and Philippians is my favorite from the New Testament.

19. I love traveling and staying at new places..............but I crave nights alone in my apartment.

20.I love living with college students and I think that freshmen girls are the most interesting, fun and strange creatures of the bunch!

21. If I had been a boy my name would have been Matthew. When I was younger I wanted my name to be Cornelia. I know-so weird! She was a character in a book that I read.

22. I love history and finding out the origin of things. I have a specific love for American history.

23. Snood has been completely dominated by me-seriously I am amazing. I defy you to beat my scores!

24. I over analyze many things. I have the suspicion that my friends tune me out as we are walking out of movies and I am processing through the story, characters, theme, EVERYTHING.

25. I did not think that I would be able to list 25 things; hopefully a few of them counted as being random and interesting!
