10 Little Known Things

1. If budgets allowed, I'd probably have a purse and shoe problem. As it stands, I have a $6 pair of brown shoes that I have loved for 4 years and my only purse these days is a glorified diaper bag.

2. I enjoy Fixer Upper episodes, but we don't have cable. So I live vicariously through Magnolia's blog and JoJo's magazine. 

3. I am sloth-like slow at going up stairs.

4. I competitively swam from ages 8-18. Doing flip turns in the pool last year trying to get Loch to turn in utero had me missing doing laps like crazy!

5. As a kid, I ran face-first into a 4x4 stairway banister and the scar under my right eye has gracefully turned into a slew of freckles. 

6. Growing up 15 minutes from Disneyland, we would often hear the thunder of fireworks at night. But, a good Iowa thunderstorm still gets my heart racing if it's right overhead. 

7. I've never broken a bone despite being thrown by a horse, but I have 9 cavities filled.

8. The $0.25-$2 extra for an avocado on my burger, or guac on my fajita is totally worth the investment. Every. Time. 

9. Though flute was my major instrument for my music ed degree, I have a minor in organ and a church music certification. Now that our church building has an organ, I totally geek out and itch to put my organ shoes back on. 

10. I noticed my husband's biceps first. I fell in love with who he is next.
