So let's begin. Here's my recent picture, it was taken on New Years Eve:
Even though it may not look like it, I promise that we love each other.
Moving on, 15 Interesting Facts about yours truly:
(1) My husband is the best second chance I've ever given someone. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a second chance because of him.
(2) I grew up on a farm. Cows, cotton, tractors, the whole nine yards. I love that my husband is enjoying learning about farming while he works with my dad and that it makes him happier than any job he's ever had.
(3) I took piano lessons for 7 years growing up and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm still trying to find a place in the house where a piano could fit so I can start playing again.
(4) I knocked out my front tooth at Disney World when I was 5. As in, I fell out of a chair at the Contemporary Resort, hit a railing, and had to be taken to an Orlando, FL emergency room. My family received crazy perks from Disney the rest of the trip.(5) I love renovating our house. Yes, it has been a crazy time, but it's definitely been worth it to see the fruits of our own labor, even if it meant living in just two room the first four months we were married.
(7) I love sewing but want to be a better sewer. I would love to be able to do more than just pillows and curtains. But boy can I re-upholster!
(8) In 2004 I worked for one of the most contested races for Congress at the time, and got to meet then Vice President Dick Cheney at a fundraiser. It was incredible.
(9) I love to cook. One day I hope to cook as well as my mother because she's an awesome, doesn't-have-to-follow-a-recipe style cook.
(10) I've traveled to two different continents, and hope to visit every populated continent one day.
(11) I have a black thumb. This is most disturbing considering that my father farms and my mother is an incredible gardener. Instead of inheriting their skills, I've accomplished the rare feat of killing a cactus.
(12) Our house could best be described as a zoo currently, and my husband often calls himself the zookeeper, given our current pet situation. I will elaborate about this on pet day.
(13) If possible, I could live off of coffee, water, wine, bread, and cheese. Obviously I do not.
(14) My job is very stressful, but very rewarding. While I have days that I'm ready to pull out my hair in frustration, I have customers whose thanks for what I'm able to do for them reminds me that everything is not all bad in banking.
(15) Our current house does not have a dishwasher, so we have to hand wash EVERYTHING. It's getting old.
So there's a little about me. I think this is off to a great start!
