30DBC: A recent picture of you & 15 interesting facts about you

Here is the most recent (and decent) picture of me... this was the hardest part about this challenge!! I don't have very many pictures of myself!



15 Interesting Facts:
1. I grew up on the same farm that my parents still live on... I love the house, the land, the old barn, the smells. I love everything about it. I hope it's in our family for a very long time!

2. I was named MVP on my volleyball team - my junior year of HS. It was an awesome feeling! I still play volleyball now... I may complain about it (cuz I'm old and my muscles & bones can't handle it), but I do love it! I also went to State Track all 4 years of HS (4x100 and Sprint Medley). "Long strides & really, really fast" is what my Dad would say about me. And I would say back to that - "I'm just like my Dad when it comes to running - he was fast too!"

3. I've never learned how to swim.

4. I have two older sisters, Jill & Tricia. My middle sister, Tricia, told my parents to "take me back to the hospital" when they brought me home - she wanted a brother. Now that we are older - she does like me. ;) My oldest sister, Jill, was the one that 'took care of me' according to my Mom.

5. I went to Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls for two years. I knew I didn't want to go to a 'big' school/university... school wasn't really my 'thang'... so doing two years was sufficient for me and my parents.

6. I was married to my 'HS sweetheart' before marrying Ryan (that didn't work out!) Now Ryan and I have been together for almost 7 years and married for almost 4 years. When I first met him I was so intrigued by him - I just wanted to get to know him better and I did... and loved everything about him. I'm very lucky to have him in my life.

7. I love some reality shows - The Bachelor/Bachelorette and American Idol. And I love HGTV shows as well!

8. I've been in one accident - a fender-bender in Clarion.

9. My best friend is Lacey. I've known Lacey since Middle School. We were always friends, but soon after High School, we started to keep in touch more and do more things together and our friendship just grew and grew. We once lived together - both getting out of our 'bad relationships' and leaning on each other... and then also moving onto much better men and lives... going through many, many things together - she's my best friend.

10. I used to play with Hot Wheel cars & Dominos and set up 'fake towns' on our pool table.

11. I went to Prom 5 times. Yes - 5 times! (Ryan gives me such a hard time about this). I went all 4 years of HS and when I was a freshman in college. (Probably nothing I should be really proud of, but I'm stuggling to think of 15 interesting facts about me!) hahaha!

12. I've driven 4 Oldsmobile cars: 1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 1987 Olds Cutlass Siera, 1994 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 2001 Olds Alero.

13. I've worked at Principal Financial Group for almost 12 years.

14. I'm right handed, but wear my watch on my right wrist.

15. I wear a cami under my clothes everyday.

Whew! ;)
