50 Facts About Me...

Cute Aly tagged me to post 50 facts about myself, that you may or may not know. 50: That's a lot! We'll see how far I get...

1. I have all sisters.

2. Jesse has all brothers.

3. I grew up in the country.

4. My first pet was a dog, Pepper. Then a girl, Pepper, moved in down the road. We used to joke about it all the time. We became really good friends.

5. When I was little, I LOVED to ride my bike up and down the road. I would pretend that the nuts and bolts were buttons to a radio on my bike.

6. My first tape was Madonna - Like a Virgin. (what was my mother thinking???)

7. I used to trade shoes with Camille Hawkes and Melissa Ward in First Grade. I hated it. I wanted my own darn shoes!

8. I have never broken a bone, but Jesse has broken 21 (or close to that).

9. I had braces when I was in high school. Now I need them again.

10. I love to take hot baths and stand in a hot shower for a really long time.

11. I ran for Head Cheerleader my Senior Year in High School and lost. It ended up being a blessing. I became best friends with the girl who won.

12. I want to go to Hawaii someday. That would be my dream vacation.

13. My favorite part about coming home from school in Elementary was getting off the bus and smelling hot bread that my mom just baked. She still bakes once a week.

14. I don't like being in a lake or the ocean. It scares me.

15. The thing that scares me the MOST is something terrible happening to Gabe or Emma.

16. I want to go back to Greece with Wayne and Susan in a few years.

30. I get teary thinking of the sacrifices my parents made for me and how ungrateful I was growing up.

35. My first real job was cleaning school buses for my dad. I hated scraping gum off of the floor.

36. I love to get together with old friends.

37. I can't believe that I love Sushi. I wouldn't eat anything out of the ordinary growing up. Everything had to be dry - sandwiches, no salads....I was SO missing out.

38. I like to take road trips because I feel justified in buying a whole load of crappy food and eating the entire time we are driving.

39. When I was doing x-rays, Holly and I used to x-ray the Halloween candy looking for anything "suspicious". Then we would take our favorite pieces and give the candy back to the kids.

40. I am a gym rat. I need the endorphin release.

49. I think Easter Candy is the most delicious of any Holiday treat. I seriously need help...

That was so fun and interesting to read about you. I am glad that you played. I thought this one was way fun. We have a lot of crap in common.(ie:All sisters, skinny dipping, and late nights.) Just to name a few. :) I love that you love candy so much. You are so cute!!
