26 for 26

Tomorrow is my 26th birthday! Since my blog is still fairly new, I wanted to do a fun post with 26 things about me.

1. I was born 6 days late – I was supposed to be a November baby, but told my mom that all along I knew I was meant to be a Christmas queen!
2. My sister and I are 6.5 years apart, but a lot of people think we are just a few years apart. She’s my best friend!
3. I have danced since I was 4 years old; my parents put me in dance class in hopes of giving me an activity to help with being shy and my mom danced when she was little. I loved it since!
4. If I wasn’t a dance teacher, I think I would be a Kindergarten teacher or own my own business of some sort!
5. Speaking of owning my own business, my senior year of college I won an Entrepreneurship competition where I received $3,000 for creating the business plan and pitching my business of having my own dance studio to judges. It’s one of my biggest accomplishments!
6. My favorite color is lavender – I love how soft, feminine and classic it is!
7. I love BBQ chips and always keep an eye out for new ones to try! My favorites are Classic Lay’s and Cape Cod Mesquite BBQ.
8. I don’t really like seafood. Every now and then I will get flounder if we are at the beach, but I prefer chicken or steak!
9. My middle name before I got married was Elizabeth, which was also my great grandmothers middle name. I hope to give it as a middle name my (hopefully) daughter one day!
10. I can say all 50 states in alphabetical order. I’m sure there are a lot of people that can do this due to the Fifty Nifty song in Elementary school, ha!
11. I do not like flying – despise it actually! I would much rather drive anywhere! I have only flown to and from Disney world once, and to NYC one time!
12. I have never traveled outside of the East Coast, or outside of the USA. I love the South y’all!
13. I do not love Pizza. I know it’s crazy, but I hardly ever eat it and prefer to go somewhere that has pasta as well. I love Spaghetti!
14. I am definitely a night owl! I have been trying harder since being married to go to bed and rise earlier, but I don’t think I can be broken! I don’t enjoy getting up earlier than 7! I’m sure this will change real wuick once we have children.
15. I’m an introvert most of the time. Unless I know you really well and am very comfortable around you, I am a fairly introverted, private, and quiet person.
16. I am also very much a homebody. I enjoy going out and doing things but love just being home and relaxing even more!
17. I am a worry wart and so much of an over thinker. I worry about everything from if I said “hey” in the right tone to a friend I saw at the store all the way to if my children will be happy I’m their mother, lol.
18. I love ice cream! Basically all sweets. But I love ice cream!
19. My favorite cake is 10 layer chocolate.
20. I am obsessed with Christmas! Nov 1 – December 25th is the MOST wonderful time of the year!
21. I don’t really drink alcohol (lol #21) because I just don’t like the way it tastes.
22. I am really bad with needles and anything medical related. I feel like I am going to pass out anytime I have to get anything done – even a finger prick. Some how I have made it through life without getting blood drawn from my arm and I dread having it done!
23. My husband and I met in college and he is from the town where my parents grew up and our families live! I knew I always wanted to move back to that little town, and it all worked out perfectly!
24. I don’t really know how to swim and don’t love boats. I can doggy paddle, but really just love to float around the pool, haha. I want to make sure our kids learn to swim at a young age for safety reasons.
25. Other than when I am teaching dance, I basically only listen to country music. I love everything from 80’s/90’s to bluegrass to modern country.
26. I am very Type-A, organized, love a good spreadsheet, and live by my planner!

Those were all so random, but I hope it helped you learn a little bit more about me. Here’s to year 26!
