Bring on the Birthday: 31-derful Fun Facts

Patrick and I are taking off on a little getaway to celebrate my birthday (tomorrow, the 8th). To celebrate turning another year older, I thought I would share a little bit more about myself. Enjoy these random fun facts – of course there had to be 31 of them too!

  1. I love a theme party. A highlight was dressing up as a paleontologist in college for a “P”- themed party. Definitely not my sexiest costume.
  2. I studied abroad on Semester at Sea during my junior year of college. It was an amazing and life-changing experience.
  3. I hate tomatoes. I like ketchup and tomato-based sauces, but for some reason I have never liked tomatoes.
  4. My hair color is my natural color and I have green eyes. I was a blonde for about 4 years though.
  5. I’m the youngest child and I have two older brothers.
  6. I am really good at ping pong, and I played a ton while on Semester at Sea.
  7. I read every night before bed.
  8. I went skydiving with my eldest brother for my 18th birthday.
  9. I love Paris and I am a total Francophile in general. 
  10. My drink of choice is either a glass of champagne or a margarita (I’m picky about how the margarita is made though).
  11. I can bake but I am not a great cook. I usually leave cooking to my husband.
  12. I will dance (not well) or sing always if a Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, or Britney Spears song comes on.
  13. I despise clutter and I am very organized (with the exception of my car).
  14. I have three dog nephews, one dog niece, and one cat niece.
  15. I lived away from the beach for a while, but I don’t plan on ever doing that again.
  16. I am infamous for my longer-than-necessary voicemails. I basically have a conversation with myself…it’s fine.
  17. I have a travel bucket list and Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, and Bali are all at the top of it.
  18. I am very allergic to cats and dogs and I underwent allergy shots for five years. It was worth it. 
  19. I love game nights with friends and/or family, and I am competitive. 
  20. I am an accessories person and I have lots of belts and shoes. Definitely too many shoes.
  21. I am a great packer and I have now traveled several times for weeks on end with just a carry-on.
  22. I bite my nails so I usually have to get them done. It’s a horrible habit!
  23. I am a night owl as opposed to an early bird.
  24. Growing up, I wanted to be a veterinarian or a comic strip maker. Two very different careers. 
  25. I was a Chi Omega at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
  26. I am outgoing and very social, but I also crave time spent alone or at home too.
  27. I started dating my husband at 21.
  28. I cry laugh all the time. Like full tears streaming down my face.
  29. I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training. 
  30. I get too scared watching scary movies, so my husband has to watch them by himself.
  31. I have a habit of signing up for wine clubs. We are members of a few and I’m sure I’ll join more.

Hopefully you all learned a bit more about me. Now I’m off to spend the next few days relaxing and vacationing – check out my Instagram to see where we are headed! Cheers!
