So, without further ado here we go. I’d figure I’d start y’all off with 14, since we were talking about Valentine’s day a couple of days ago.

And let me just say, if you guys have any questions, about me or something on this lil blog, let me know! Let’s be friend and get pppperrrsonall. (said awkwardly in the “Let’s get physical” tone). You’re welcome. I delivered Olivia to you this Friday. And now it will be in your mind until next Wednesday.

1. I was homeschooled until I went to college…. At 15. (Every homeschooler starts with this I feel, like we don’t have another show stopper other than our parents taught us academics.) Well, actually once we got to middle school/high school we had tutors. And, I and my brothers, attended public school through those times, but for electives etc.

2. I was an insanely shy child until I was about 17 years old. A book taught me how to be comfortable enough to talk to people. This is the book, but I didn’t use it in the “pick-up” way. But, it really helped me see how people think and react, and how speaking really is OK.

3. From the time I was a little girl I have always wanted to jump in a pool in my wedding dress. When my mom said that I was crazy and no one does that to the dress, not gonna lie, I stopped dreaming of my special day. But now? Well, not promising that if there is a body of water, I may be jumping in it with my new hubs.

4. When I first read Anne of Green Gables, I ran to my mom and asked if my middle name Anne was spelled with an E. And she said, “of course! No daughter of mine was going to have an un-elegant name like that. Yours has an E at the end, like Anne from Green Gables.” I know she’s my mom and like, you gotta love your parents, but yeah, I really loved her then. Side note: it was also her favorite series growing up. Like mother like daughter.

5. Speaking of names. I have two middle names. Anne-Theresa. My second oldest brother has four names too.

6. Growing up my brother brought into the house as pets a turtle names Oscar Meijer Wiener and a rat name Martin Martin III. They had so much personality.

7. The turtle, during a move and renovation to a house me moved to when I was 9 got stuck between the first floor dining room ceiling, and second story bathroom floor. Half of the newly put up dining room drywall, (that was taped and puttied and sanded already) had to come down to rescue him.

8. I am 24 years old, and still cannot sleep with any closet doors open… I mean, a demon or something will come out at night and get me!

9. With that, I guess it’s not hard to guess that I am terrified of scary movies, and refuse to watch them.

10. I’m a walking contradiction because I love Hitchcock movies, and roller coasters.

11. I am allergic to Avocado.

12. Until I ran my first half marathon I detested everything about bananas.

13. I can tell you the moment I began to like peanut butter. Growing up, hated it! Everything about it, get it away from me. At my old job I was getting some for a customer’s bagel, and my brain literally said, “We like this now”. It’s been nothing but love for the last four years.

14. My favorite Valentine has been from my dad. He once got me a single rose and on the card wrote, “I’ll be your Valentine’s until you find that special someone”. Looks like now the job is over for him, because I finally found my forever Valentine’s.

P.S. That is a typical picture of my brother’s and I.
