The ABCs of Me

Wow guys! It has been forever since I've posted. My apologies! This has been a crazy summer for me and my family and it hasn't been in the front of my mind. But I'm back!

Since I haven't posted too much about myself, other than snippets of info in my posts about other things, I thought that today I'd post my answers to one of those silly questionnares. So here it goes: the ABCs of Me!

A - Available or married?
Happily Married.



B- Book?
Always reading the Bible and currently re-reading through all of Lisa Gardner’s books. Just finished Love & Respect, which I highly recommend to engaged or married Christian couples.












C- Cake or Pie?
Doesn’t matter, chocolate either way!

D- Drink of Choice?
Diet Dr. Pepper! I am super addicted. And orange juice. Yum.

E- Essential Item?
A book at all times…maybe my Kindle since it has multiple books on it.

F- Favorite Color?
Red, Gray, Black

G- Game to play or watch?
Monopoly Deal, Catchphrase, Telephone Pictionary



H- Hometown?
Fort Madison, Iowa

The Mississippi River and the largest swingspan bridge in the world, as seen from Fort Madision, Iowa!


I- Indulgence?
Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai with Blueberry Bites



J- Jimmy Johns Sandwich of Choice?
Country Club, no cheese. Plus one of those giant pickles!

K- Kids and names?
None so far. :) But I have names ready to go!

L- Life is incomplete without?
My husband and my God.

M- Music group or singer?
Phew. Now? I don’t really know. Maybe Colbie Caillat or Jason Mraz? But the band I’ve loved the most and longest is definitely the Backstreet Boys. I saw them in concert for my 21st birthday 2 years ago and it totally fulfilled my childhood.


BSB forever baby!

N- Number of siblings?
One sibling, a younger, awesomer sister named Kaylyn. I’ve also been blessed with some great sibs in law— Käte and Josh are Ricky's siblings, Lance is Käte's husband and Kelsey will be Josh's wife soon.

O- Oranges or apples?
Both but I eat apples more often since I don’t have to peel them…wow, I’m lazy.

P- Phobias/Fears?
Spiders!

Q- Favorite Quote?
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you!
Lol. That’s a cheesy one, but I’m having a hard time thinking of a serious one.

R- Reason to Smile?
My husband laughing.  It’s adorable and contagious.

S- Season?
Summer, definitely!! I love spring and fall clothes, but nothing beats a beach or pool, a frosty drink, and a good novel.

T- Tattoos?
I got one right before I turned 19, drama masks on my left hip. So far I've held out on getting another but who knows, that might change in the future!



U- Unknown fact about me?
I wear a contact, but only in one eye. The other eye has perfect vision.

V- Vegetable you love?
Zucchini, squash, carrots, broccoli, grilled onions, sweet corn, spinach…. I HATE potatoes though, which really freaks everyone out. My mother-in-law has known me for 4 1/2 years and still has to think twice before remembering. My parents, on the other hand, think that it's hilarious to offer me potatoes every time they make them for a meal and see how I react.

W- Worst habit?
Being anxious about things I can’t control!

X- X-Rays you've had?
I think I’ve had a few. My skull and spine for sure.

Y- Your favorite food?
Italian. Pasta all the way. I am a carbo-loader, my mom used to tell me that I would become a noodle if I kept it up. I need to get into the spaghetti squash trend before I blow up like a balloon (more…).

Z- Zodiac sign?
Gemini. Not a twin though, which was disappointing as girl growing up in the 90s watching Mary-Kate and Ashley.
