Dirty Thirty

Thirty years ago today, I was born! It's so crazy to think about being 15 and how that was half a lifetime ago. Time really does fly! I've had the best day celebrating with my little family and I thought it would be fun to share 30 things about me with all of you. 


1. I am a natural blonde. I started highlighting my hair when I was 18 and I've had it done pretty much the same ever since. 

2. I've never (probably obviously) had braces. My teeth were straight enough to forgo the hassle and expense of them. And I don't mind my slightly crooked smile one bit!

3. I broke my first bone(s) in my early 20s. Ironically I slipped on ice getting out of the car going INTO the bar. I refused to believe it until an x-ray 2 days later confirmed 3 broken metatarsals. 

4. My aunt is my godmother and we share the same middle name: Joan.

5. I never ate seafood until I vacationed with a friend in Florida when I was 16 and there was literally nothing but that on the menu at a restaurant where we had dinner. A bowl of shrimp pasta later and I never looked back.

6. I always thought I'd get married young, like 23, but I said, "I do," a month after my 28th birthday. 

7. I have a really small head (like toddler sized) and when I was a baby my parents had to take me to see specialists about it. Turns out, it's just genetic and totally normal. Fallon's is small too!

8. I always
have a favorite color of the moment but I always go back to grey.

9. I am mostly my mother's daughter but I have my daddy's hazel eyes.

10. I'm 5'4 but mostly legs so people always think I look taller. 

11. Chris and I met at a bar. You can find love just about anywhere. 

12. My dogs' names (Ares + Chaos) came from mythology.

13. I bake much better than I cook. It's shocking to everyone because....

14. I'm terrible with numbers and measurements. 

15. I'm actually athletically inclined although I'm not the least bit graceful in daily life. I run into walls in my own house. 

16. NSYNC was the first concert I went to. My fanatic teenage self would reemerge quickly if the band got back together. 

17. I don't watch the news. There's too much sadness in this world and if I really need to know something going on in the world someone else will tell me about it.

18. I do my own nails once a week. 

19. I am a proud Pit Bull mom. I dare you to say something mean about my baby.

20. I am a trusting person and have a pretty high tolerance for BS. But if you cross the line, watch out. 

21. I'm a former party girl. Now I'd rather stay home grilling out or eating pizza than hitting the bars any night. 

22. Lilies are my favorite flowers. 

23. I love distressed jeans. I'll probably still be wearing them long after I'm of an appropriate age. 

24. I love being barefoot all summer long but I have to have cozy slippers when it's cold out.

25. Fall is my favorite time of year as an adult but as a kid it was always summer. 

26. If I don't wear bug spray I get eaten alive in the warmer months. I must have super sweet blood. 

27. I went to look at and put an offer on our house while Chris was away for work. He didn't see it in person until we already had a contract.

28. I eat peanut butter every single day, sometimes just by itself.

29. My name means cheerful.

30. I've been a vegetarian for 2.5 years now and I don't miss meat at all.
