22 Things You May Not Know About Me

In the spirit of birthdays and self centered indulgence, and since today is my 22nd birthday (thanks for all your sweet messages!) I've been compiling 22 little known facts about myself to share on my blog today! So without further ado...

1. I hate rice.
2. The Sound of Music is my favorite movie. We went on a Sound of Music Tour in Austria during our honeymoon and it was a highlight for me.
3. I have never met a granola bar I didn't like.
4. I had a very fat face as a teen and it cracks me up now. It seriously looks like I swallowed myself:D I love it though because I literally never realized that until a couple months ago. So I'm proud of my confident, chubby face high school self. 
5. I am the third of six siblings and I loved growing up with a big family. Tayler and I want to do the same in our family.
6. I grew up in a farming town, population 500. My family had dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and chickens. But I do not like animals. 
7. In college I worked at a candy shop, I absolutely loved it, and my skin suffered accordingly.
8. I enjoy running, especially half marathons. 
9. In 6th grade my favorite outfit was brown gaucho pants and a striped orange shirt. I'm so grateful I moved before high school. 
10. Tayler and I went to the same high school, but we didn't know each other because he graduated before I was a sophomore.  
11. My first job (besides mowing lawns) was at Seven Peaks Water Park when I was 15. I was in the food department and it is still the worst job I have ever had. 
12. I eat the same things every day: peanut butter toast, Greek yogurt, spinach egg omelet, and lots of fruit. I know I need to expand my horizons but this is just so easy.
13. I love dancing. Growing up I played soccer, but I've always thought I would've loved being a dancer. But Zumba works.
14. I don't enjoy cooking, but I love baking.
15. I accidentally graduated my college's honor program as a freshmen. I got invited to a banquet at the end of the year and realized I'd unknowingly taken all the required courses.
16. My nickname growing up was "Kerbunkle" because I always stubbed my toe.
17. I'm typically good with names, but I accidentally introduced Tayler to my family as Chris.
18. I have the worst eyesight of anyone I know. (If you're familiar with contacts, I'm a -9.00)
19. Jeopardy is my favorite TV show.
20. I have had shingles 8 times. When I was 12 I contracted it from a severe sunburn, but now it is triggered by stress.
21. I fall asleep to any movie put on after 9pm.
22. I am secretly an 80 year old.

I hope you've had a great July 18th too!
