30 Day Challenge

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! Remember back when you were little and it seemed like it took FOREVER for another year to pass... Yeah, now days I blink and the year is over. 

So, I am starting a new year and I am starting it at the ripe ol' age of 27. 

I feel kind of old. 

I'm like 187 in Mormon years...or is that dog years... I should have like 5 kids already, right? WRONG!

Last year was the best year and the worst year... I got married to my favorite person in the world but I also was given A LOT of challenges. MS, total knee replacement, depression, major weight gain, new house, financial strain, etc.   Ah well, C'est la vie. Here is hoping my 27th year is a little less eventful.

As a little birthday/new years resolution, I have decided to take up my dear SILs suggestion and take the 30 Day Blog Challenge. 

So, here goes the first day of 30.

Day 1: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

 

1.      I have been to 9 different countries...and I plan on going to more!
2.      The summer before my senior year of HS my dad took me to Norway. I cried when I saw the green land of Norway. It was a dream come true. It gave me the travel bug. 
3.      I was diagnosed with MS the month after my wedding. Worst time of my life!
4.      I honestly think Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. I LOVE DISNEYLAND!
5.      I probably own around 60+ pairs of shoes. 
6.      I was adopted at 6 weeks of age. Most of you already know this.
7.      I drive really fast....I drove 138+mph on the autobahn...my dad made me slow down. RUDE! I was just trying to see how fast I could go in my new car.
8.      I use to bellydance. I am thinking of taking it back up. 
9.      I LOVE bread. If I had to give it up I think I would die. SERIOUSLY DIE!
10.      When I was younger I always wanted to be a fashion designer...my mother thought that was a bad idea...so, at age 11 I decided to be a NICU nurse. 
11.      I have a knack for decorating and love making old things look new and trendy. 
12.      I worked full time all through nursing school...Work was pretty much the only place I did my homework. 
13.     Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year. I am known as the Christmas Elf.
14.     I hate clutter...if I am feeling irritable and I see clutter it pushes me over the edge
15.     I am a pretty type A and independent person and have a tendency to believe in the saying, "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
