25 Things

I was given this idea by a friend that I just met recently. ML and her sister grew up with Stuart and her sister and husband are in our Sunday school class. She recommended that I do this as a follow up to the favorites post. This will definitely expand on some of the things I mentioned in the ABC's of Me.

1. I have an anxiety disorder. It gets so bad that there are certain social situation I can't be in and simple tasks that people do everyday like making phone calls can be hard for me.

2.  I am TERRIFIED of snakes. I have panic attacks when I even see a picture of them.

3. When I was 4, I had Histiocytosis X which is a disorder where there are extra immune cells in your body and they cause tumors. Mine was on my cheekbone. We had been through testing, a spinal tap, and a biopsy and we're talking next steps when they discovered that the tumor was gone! This is the reason I am such a firm believer in miracles and God's work. Prayer was such a huge part of my journey and now I'm 24 and never had another issue with this disorder. Praise God!

4. Besides one year in a college dorm, I never lived outside of my parents house until I married Stuart.

5. In high school, I wanted to be a marine biologist and work at Sea World.

6. I love to sing Gospel music but especially Southern Gospel! We used to sing as a family so I perfected that southern drawl!

7. I am OCD about the weirdest things. I do not care as much about clothes all over the place but if you move something in my kitchen, prepare for the wrath!

8. I never graduated college or completed a program. I don't know exactly what I want to do at this point so I don't know if I want to finish college yet although I am doing a certification program for Wedding and Event Planning.

9. I got dumped the day after my Senior prom for a freshman. No lie. And now that guy and his wife and kid go to our church... awkward... (at least his wife isn't the freshman he dumped me for though)

10. I know a whole lot more about Nascar than you would think. All through high school, my dad's company had a Nascar sponsorship so we went to a lot of the southeast races. My graduation weekend was spent at Charlotte Motor Speedway. I got a picture with Kyle Busch and was on cloud nine...

11. I hate when people pick their teeth with their fingers... please do that in private with something other than your hand!

12. I really like trash TV. Toddlers and Tiaras, Dance Moms, Teen Mom, Real Housewives, you name it, I have probably watched it and liked it.

13. I've had two eardrum repair surgeries on the same ear. One of the ruptures came from swimming with water behind my eardrum but the other came from a severe sinus infection. I knew the exact moment that it ruptured.

14. Baking relaxes me. I will usually bake and then never even eat it. The relaxation is truly in the making of the sweets, not the partaking.

15. I hate chocolate. I gag at the smell of it.

16. I hate to pay full price for anything. Even though I may a really nice things, I NEVER pay full price for them.

17. I like cheesy teen novels. I read all four Twilight books in less than a month. 

18. My husband says that I'm very, very generous. I tend to spend a lot of my money on things for other people.

19. I get overly obsessed with ideas until I make them a reality. If i decide that I want to sew something or make something, I have to go out and get everything and do it right then!

20. I have enough kids names picked out that I could easily have 12 kids and NOT run out of names! (but no worries, I really only want 4 at the most!)

21. I already have gray hairs on my head. It apparently runs in the family to get them at an early age...

22. I love going to the zoo.

23. I hate war movies and any movie with excessive gore in it. Although I really want to see Zero Dark Thirty.

24. I hate horror films but I love the Paranormal Activity movies and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

25. I usually snort when I laugh.
