25 random things...

This list of 25 random things about me is all the rage on Facebook right now. I decided that since I had spent so much time on it that I'd post it as a blog, too. Enjoy ;)


1. I think this thing is silly, but the Super Bowl is boring so I'm doing it. (Ok, the end was so not boring. Thank goodness I was finished with this thing already!)
2. I really enjoy sports- so much so that random men often tell my husband to appreciate having a "jock wife" HA!
3. In direct connection to #2 I embarrass my husband by SCREAMING at the tv at the gym, restaurant or wherever we happen to watch games...oops. ;)
4. I moved from Indy to Denver in August 2008 and will never look back!
5. I LOVE living near the mountains and cannot imagine not waking up to them each morning - GORGEOUS
6. I HATE insurance companies, but I work for an insurance company. Don't ask. And do not get me stated on Allstate.
7. I have a miniature Schnauzer whom I absolutely adore, MacKenzie. She's a great dog.
8. I hope to have kids one day in the distant- 10 yearsish- future
9. I am working on my Masters of Taxation at the University of Denver. Yes, it is a real degree. No, I will not help you evade taxation- that is up to you. ;)
10. I am a very orderly, neat person. I hate messes. I really HATE messes. Just clean up after yourself. Ugh.
11. I love the Indiana Hoosiers. I went to IU and hated it, but I LOVE the HOOSIERS. (We are rebuilding this year- leave us alone.) I also met Cali Kate and Dr. Phil at IU so I will change that hate to a dislike! ;):)
12. I am a reluctant landlord to my home in Noblesville and my husband's home in Westfield.
13. I studied marketing in college so that I would not fall for great ad campaigns. I now buy things solely based on how much I loved the marketing campaign. So annoying.
14. I love shoes and I own far too many pairs. I will not say how many to avoid persecution.
15. One of my best friends, Kyle Feller, is someone I met in a chatroom in 8th grade. Yes, I know that is dangerous. No, he has never tried to kill me. HA! :) He's a good guy and I feel blessed that our paths crossed.
16. I have gone to a lot of institutions of higher education: Indiana University, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Butler University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and University of Denver. At press time I do not anticipate anymore additions to this list.
17. I only dated my husband for 6 months before getting engaged. We were engaged for 6 months before getting married. It was a whirlwind romance. I am married to a wonderful man and could not ask for more. :) (Don't throw up, please.)
18. My friend Meg Lewis has breast cancer and has taken it like a champ. I can only hope that if I were in her situation that I would be 1/5 as brave as she has been. It has been a privilege to be at her side during this time.
19. I have friends all over the country and visit them quite often. Cali Kate in San Fran. Meggles in San Clemente. Danielle in S. Florida. Britt is Palm Beach. Pooch in Baltimore. Heidi, Laura and Shannon in Indy. Jenna in Chicago. Kyle in NYC. Bluey in Grant County. And others but I got tired of typing.
20. I really love getting things in the mail. Dorky? Sure. Leave it alone.
21. In college my roomie's name was Jenna. It was a bit confusing, but really fun. Mostly because the other Jenna was ridiculously hilarious.
22. I live in Colorado and will NEVER ski. NEVER. I just do not see the fun in being freezing cold flying down the side of a mountain. I'll pass.
23. I am terribly afraid of heights. It annoys me so I push myself to try to get over it. I went to NYC for Christmas and puked on top of the Empire State Building but HEY I was on top dang it. 24. 55 is my favorite number because my 2nd grade teacher taught us that 5's were upside down question marks with hats on top and I loved that they accessorized. HA :)
25. I am from the small town of Upland, Indiana. We had a flashing stop light, 3 gas stations, a small university and Ivanhoe's. Ivanhoe's is the best ice cream place EVER. I would never trade my life in Upland for anything. High School was awesome and some of my classmates are still my best friends. Go Panthers! :)

Hope you're all having a great week thus far!

You forgot one. You have the cutiest niece who thinks of you whenever she see high heel shoes. She got your package and more one of the t-shirts to free dress today. I would like to add that the Petefish family got a great addition when we got you.
