25 Random Things about Moi

1. One of my guilty pleasures is to dip a spoon into the peanut butter jar and then sprinkle dark chocolate chips ontop..followed by a sip of wine....life is good after that!
2. I always secretly wanted to be a nurse but never followed that path in life.
3. I adore being a mom - something I've always wanted to be when I was a child. It's by far the most rewarding and challenging job.
4. My Best Friend is my husband, Josh. He truly is my soul mate, completing me in every way possible. I LOVE being married to him. He makes me smile each and every day.
5. I was the first female Honor Caddie at the Broadmoor Golf Resort in Colorado Springs - when I was 15 years old.
6. One of my only regrets is not studying abroad during college. I would LOVE to travel to Europe someday soon.
7. Never had a fear of mortality until i had kids. (I stole this idea from Cindy - but it's so true)
8. My parents lived in a haunted house in Colorado Springs - had plenty of ghostly encounters - felt like someone was always watching me...but being a ghost hunter would be a pretty cool job!
9. My favorite shows are: Nip/Tuck, Ghost Hunters, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy.
10. I have an obsession with chocolate.
11. My bad habit is picking at my nails.
12. I will admit...when I was 6 years old, watching Dukes of Hazzard - I was in love with Bo and Luke Duke. I seriously convinced myself I was going to marry one of them someday.
13. I love to bake - it's like therapy to me. When I was in 4th grade, my nick name was 'Cookie,' because I'd always bake cookies for the class.
14. I keep having dreams of my grandparents that just passed away - almost like a guilt of not getting a chance to say goodbye to them.
15. My first car was a 1981 Diesel Volkswagen Rabbit that smoked each and every time I started it...quite embarrassing to a 16 year old...
16. Las Vegas will always hold a dear and loving spot in my heart...it's where Josh and I got married
17. I hate bean soup. I rarely hate anything but when I was 5 years old, we had these babysitters who spanked me because I didn't eat their bean soup. From that moment on, even the smell of it makes me nauseous.
18. My favorite sounds - #1 my kids giggling #2 wine coming out of a bottle (you know that gurgling sound?)
19. I know how to ride a horse really well. I miss riding!
20. I almost died as an infant - am severely lactose intolerant - parents kept giving me milk and it wore down my immune system to the point where I was really sick. Thank God they figured out what was causing it! (still very lactose intolerant by the way)
21. My Brother-in-Law Pete not only taught me how to use a stick shift, but also married Josh and I - he's pretty much been there for most of my major life experiences (minus the child birthing)
22. I LOVE country music. I LOVE dancing to it.
23. I was never good at science and always was scared of it. Then in college I accidently signed up for the hardest biology class (meant for premed students) and ended up getting a 'B' in it. VERY proud moment.
24. My new favorite quote which I'll live by "Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile."
25. My happy place is where Josh and I went on our honeymoon - Kauai - where my fabulous Aunt Rose and Uncle Dave live. Truly paradise.
