Oh man… this might be a hard post for me. I feel like I try to be pretty open about myself on social media, so there might be some things you do already know about me on this post. But, I’ll try super hard to make sure it’s new information!

1 ~ I hate following the trends ~ Okay, okay. I’ve never been a super trendy, have to be like everyone else kind of person. In fact, I remember when the movie Frozen came out and everyone was saying they LOVED IT! And I was like, ‘whatever, it can’t be that good’. So, I waited and waited and waited to see it. And then when I finally did see it, I was like, ‘ah, yeah, that was good, I guess’. And now…I love it too. 🤷‍♀️

2 ~ I LOVE shopping ~ Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this one sooner! Seriously though, shopping is SO FUN! It’s usually clothes shopping, but I’m game for any kind of shopping (except groceries, boring!).

3 ~ My husband and I talk in movie quotes all the time ~ We always watched tons of movies while we were dating and engaged because it’s the perfect excuse to cuddle! So, through the years, we’ve seen lots of movies and we always quote our favorites! In everyday life, in everyday conversation!

4 ~ I have to have things organized ~ This might not be a surprise for some of you, but it’s definitely true. I grew up in a very tidy house and my house is exactly the same.

5 ~ I have 20/20 vision in my left eye, but I seriously can’t see anything with my right eye ~ I don’t even remember when this happened, but with both eyes together, I can see just fine…I close my left eye and I’m pretty much blind.

6 ~ I hate camping ~ I know, I know. I’m crazy. … I LOVE how nature looks…but I don’t love being in it overnight or all the time. I hate bugs…I hate wind. I don’t like being dirty and I don’t like sleeping on the ground. BUT, I will do whatever it takes in nature to get amazing images for you! Just as long as I don’t have to be outside overnight! mmmmkkk!?

7 ~ I watch Top Gear and Grand Tour with my husband ~ Car shows! I actually don’t mind car shows and I even kind of enjoy them. They’re super funny and even though I never understand what they’re talking about, I do enjoy watching them!

8 ~ I had Guillain-Barré Syndrome when I was 12 ~ Whooo. GBS is a rare auto-immune disorder that can cause paralysis. Basically your immune system attacks your nervous system because it thinks it’s an infection. So, when I had it, my feet and legs started to tingle and go numb until it got all the way up to my elbows and I couldn’t walk. It was probably the scariest thing I’ve ever gone through and it took me 6 months to recover.

9 ~ I can’t watch horror films or even some action movies ~ I know, I’m a woos. But horror films, nope, not a chance. And even some action movies get me too worked up and paranoid.

10 ~ I’m a super aggressive driver ~ 😬I usually go 5 over all the time (but don’t tell anyone!). I take turns super fast and I’m pretty risky. If my husband is driving, I’m always telling him he could have made it!
