Yours Truly

One. I was born and raised in Southern California. I’ve pretty much lived in two cities my entire life and they are only one hour from each other.

Two. I always have {and probably always will} love to take pictures. My husband jokes with me that the only reason I do anything {travel, got married, cook} is for the photos.

He might be right.

Three. I drink an absurd amount of Diet Coke. Like an embarrassing amount. I’m trying to wean myself off, but I’m haven’t been very successful.

Four. I’ve ridden a camel on the beach of the Dead Sea in Jordan. They are so much taller than they look.

Five. I tend to dance when I get into my pajamas. It’s been ever so cleverly named, “The Pajama Dance.” There’s almost nothing that can hold a candle to the excitement and comfort I feel at the end of the day when I can put them on.

Six. I eat fast food. a.lot. Specifically Del Taco and/or taco bell. Then I moved to Encinitas where everyone is a healthy-eating hippy. I still continue to eat Del Taco three times a week.

Seven. I don’t swim in the ocean. I love the beach but mostly for the beautiful scenery and its ability to make me tan. I don’t like the feeling of seaweed wrapped around my ankles, or the fear of sharks biting my knee caps. {The water in St.Thomas was a different story. I swam in that ocean every day we were there.}

Eight. I’m a self-diagnosed Hypochondriac. At least once a day I google some symptom that I have and convince myself of the worst. I currently think I have early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Nine. I love a good scary movie. Gore? Blood? Bring it on.

Ten. One of my favorite things in the world is driving around neighborhoods looking at houses that we won’t be able to afford for a long, long time.

Eleven. I’m an 87 year old woman trapped in a 28 year olds body. For real, I would go to bed at 8:00 pm every night if my husband let me. I wonder if that means there’s something wrong with me…

I should google it.

Kasey’s questions for me

1. If you could suggest ONE book for someone to read, what would it be? 
   The Giver. You know the one; you probably had to read it when you were in 5^th grade. Do yourself a favor and RE-read it.
   
2. Name one song that would get you out on the dance floor.

11. What would be your favorite thing to do on a date?
