25 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Me

I love questionnaires; the more off-the-wall the questions, the better. I thought it about time to do a little fun get-to-know me post. While I am not the most creative person around, I hope you can find some enjoyment reading this and that you can get to know me a little bit more.

Let's Begin!

1. I am happiest when...Marshall helps me in the kitchen.
2. ...especially if it involves...laughter, good food, and cuddling on the couch afterwards.
3.  I have always wanted to...1)go paddle boarding and 2) visit every U.S. state. 
4. My family and I...travel the "non-touristy" way. We camped at the beach when we went to the Caribbean instead of getting a hotel. 
   
   
   
   
5. I am a terrible...liar. Seriously. I can't keep a secret from anyone, especially Marshall. Unless it involves a present. Then I am amazing (because surprising someone with a gift is the best thing ever!)
6.  My first job was...a figure skating coach at age 16. My only other non-coaching job was when I worked at Chipotle for the summer after my first year of college. I actually loved that job. 
   
7. I could probably eat...vegetables at every meal for the rest of my life and not get tired of them. 

   

   My beautiful "haul" from one day last summer. 

8. I stole...me? stealing something? Haha. I was voted as "goodie-two-shoes" in my Senor year book. 
9. I was born...6 weeks early, and in every NICU picture I am sleeping on my stomach with my legs sprawled out. This is still my favorite position to sleep in.  
10. My all-time favorite film is...I really don't like re-watching movies, but I love Secondhand Lions, The Sound of Music, Meet the Robinsons, and Julie & Julia.   
11. I do a pretty mean...Bird of Paradise. (but let's be real...do you know how difficult this was for me to put the timer on the camera and then run and get into this pose in time?)
    
12. I am still disappointed...that I didn't keep up with my Japanese when I moved back to the U.S. at age 7. 
    
13. I always knew I wanted to...get married in the temple to my best friend. 
    
14. I'm not afraid to...try crazy foods. It's actually one of my favorite things to do. Luckily I married a guy who loves to do it too!
15. I make the best...sourdough bread and fried eggs (well I can't claim they are the best but they are pretty amazing) 
16. I have almost no...regrets
17. I always cry when...I feel like I have hurt someone.
18. I'm a...saver, not a spender. 
19. I spent 6 years in...Japan (Tokyo & Yokohama)
20. I wish my parents...knew how grateful I am that they paid for my housing at college.
    
21. At 5, I loved...my dad so much I told him I wanted to marry him. 
22. I believe if everyone...ate dinner together as a family, the world would be a little bit better. Dinner time is seriously one of my favorite parts of the day. Even though it is only the two of us, we still set the table and have a meal together every night. 
    
23. I can't stand...idle for too long. I'm still learning from my husband how to relax.
24. Whenever the Olympics are on, I'll watch it. 
25. Every day, I wonder...when I will get to meet my children. 

So there you have it. :) Now you know me a teensy bit more! 

Have a beautiful day ❤
