1. I just had my first son, Benjamin, on July 12, two days before my third wedding anniversary.
2. I married my high school sweetheart. We went to different colleges and spent 3.5 years in a long distance relationship.
3. I'll eat almost anything with mint in it. Almost.
4. I'm very into crafting, making homemade, and buying homemade.
5. Before I was a mom, I taught preschool.
6. I graduated from Florida State University in 2006. I'm a diehard 'Nole.
7. I run my own etsy shop where I sell embroidered goods.
8. I'm a navy brat, but I've pretty much only lived in Jacksonville and Pensacola.
9. I have a very young family and on my dad's side, we have five generations living. My son has a GreatGreatGrandma. And she's only in her 80s.
10. I am only 4'11.
11. I played softball for 10 years. I was a catcher mostly because it made me laugh to be the smallest one and the catcher.
12. I have two labs, Olive and Hunter. They were named after shades of green.
13. I use cloth diapers on Ben.
14. I have one younger brother. He's 21 and has a severe seizure disorder that results in him having mild cerebral palsy and developmental delays.
15. I'm closer in age to my youngest aunt than I am to my oldest cousin.
16. I HATE COLD WEATHER.
17. I hula hoop and am actually pretty good at it.
18. I turn into my mom more and more each day.
19. I'm a terrible cook. Thank goodness my husband isn't. Worst housewife ever.
20. I cry at anything sappy in tv or movies, but not at my own life. Like I cried when Rory Gilmore graduated, but not when I did.
21. My favorite movie is A Little Princess and it makes me cry like a baby.
22. I own more children's books than adult books and NOT just because I taught preschool and have a kid.
23. My favorite book is Bridge to Terabithia and it makes me cry like a baby.
24. I'm feeling pretty boring because 25 things are hard to come up with.
25. If I stay up past 10pm, it's been a late night for me. Even in college, I was in bed by 9 on "school nights."
