i am officially 27. i had a lovely birthday in new jersey with my favorite men. it's been a little busy between the chaos behind ms. irene's pending arrival, giants practice/pre-game schedule, & my mom's departing flight today. but somehow the boys & i managed to squeeze in a little celebration; shopping, dinner, & a beautiful walk down washington st. in hoboken & my 1st train ride alone with both boys (it was a success!). to top it off we grabbed dessert from none other than the world famous carlos' bake shop. it was delish.
here are 27 things i think you should know about me.
here are 27 things i think you should know about me.
1. I have no problem with aging. It's natural. I am a firm believer in the sayings, "Age is nothing but a number" and "You are as old as you act". I plan on acting & feeling young for a long, long time. So bring it on big 27!
2. I love being barefoot. If I am outside then chances are good that I am barefoot.
3. You will probably never find a dirty dish in my sink. Used dishes lying around really gross me out so I try to allows keep such filthy items either washed or tucked away in the dishwasher.
4. I chew "half-a-stick" of gum. A whole stick is just too much for me.
5. I am a firm believer in the power of honesty. I think it may just be part of maturing. I understand that a lot of people don't agree with a lot of my beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and actions but that's okay with me. I'm fine with being a little different. I try to make good decisions that I can stand up for. I make mistakes but I don't try to hide them. I apologize & try not to mess up again. I say what I mean & I mean what I say. If I tell someone that I will always be there for them, then I always will.
6. I am obsessed with the beach. I wish I could live in a tent on the sand forever.
7. I loath reality t.v. I think that it breeds bad behavior & makes celebrities out of fruit-cakes. I mean look at Kim Kardashian. Yuck. She only became famous after she was willing to make & sell a sex tape. Isn't it sad that we allow disgusting individuals like this to become "famous" & prosper from their sick behavior. I prefer sitcoms & gameshows.
8. My favorite things about my life are my children.
9. I have three go-to outfit types: dresses, t-shirts & jeans, or sweats.
10. I wish I could convince my husband to let me adopt a baby.
11. I truly enjoy baking, cooking, & decorating desserts.
12. I try to live without regret. Life is short. I don't want to look back one day & wonder "what if?". I've done that & it sucks. I don't want to do it, again. I try to make good decisions & live life to the fullest. If there's something I want I go out & get it.
13. I claim to eat healthy but I am a sucker for sweets.
14. I cannot stand when people mistake kindness for weakness. Just because I try to always be kind & giving does not mean you can take advantage of me. Don't try it. You will regret it.
15. I am a snuggle bug. I love love love physical touch with my dears.
16. I have a very ecclectic style. A dear friend once told me, "we are too grown to shop at GAP now." I laughed. I shop where I want to shop. I buy what I want to buy. Today my outfit consists of an Anthropology dress, Cole Haan shoes, Louis Vuitton bag, Old Navy belt, and Target cardigan & necklace. I do not believe in limiting my selection based on brands but rather based on quality, design, & appeal.
17. I am truly a hopeless romantic (that's why Todd and I balance each other out so well).
18. I hate good-byes. They are so permanent. So unnecessary. So sad.
19. Everyday I strive to become a better person...don't judge me based on who I was in the yesterday because I am a better person today & I will be an even better person tomorrow.
20. I dream of one day appearing on a game show.
21. I am stubborn. Call it a burden. Call it a limitation. I call it a blessing. My stubbornness has helped me to stay true to myself, stick with my convictions, & avoid peer pressure.
22. I am LDS. I love my church & I truly do believe the gospel they teach is true.
23. I love bacon. Bacon makes everything taste better.
24. My priorities in life are 1. my God 2. my boys 3. my man 4. myself
25. I love white dishes. Food just looks more appetizing when it is served on white dishes.
26. I live with passion. And I love it. Some times my life is a roller coaster of emotion but I'd rather that then a flatline of feelings. Oftentimes people are admired for being "even-tempered". I think that's silly. I want to really experience life. I think that if you are a really in touch with your emotions than you experience all emotions to the fullest. I get really mad but I also get overwhelmingly happy. I get very sad but I also love passionately.
27. I have a firm belief that God gives us trials for a reason. Everytime He hands me something difficult I try so hard to keep faith & learn the lesson that He intends me to learn. At first it is very hard. But with time & prayer I always end up grateful for the experience. I love my Lord & He loves me.
