This is LOOONNNGGG overdue.
As in a month ago overdue to be exact.

Ever since I have started blogging I am amazed at the wonderful people I meet.
It has become one of my favorite parts of my day to read some of my favorite blogs and write on my own when I get the chance.
People are so dang creative it kills me.
Basically, I just have felt so much more inspired by all the women I have met and their talents that they share with the world. One of those people is Whitney.

Whitney @ Keeping Up With The Cyperts tagged me in one of her pass-along posts a month ago and I have yet found the time to respond.
How terrible am I?
Ugh, there just aren't enough hours in a day sometimes, but here we go.

The Rules...
1. You must post the rules.
2. Post 12 fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create 12 new questions for the people you tagged.
4. Tag 12 people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!

12 Randoms...

1. I really don't like showers. They last MAYBE 5 minutes. Just enough time to get everything clean and then I'm out. Baths are my thing.

2. I was born to be a teacher. Who was I kidding when declared as a nursing major?? Must have been the naiveness that comes with being a Freshman all over again.

3. I've always wanted to sew and am finally learning with my new sewing machine I got for Christmas. This was the first thing I made. (don't look too close, it is definitely not Martha Stewart worthy)

4. I absolutely LOVE to read! My list of summer must-reads is already a mile long.

5. I am a perfectionist. Which is something I consider to be both my biggest strength and biggest weakness. I always put in a 110% effort on everything that I do which has its benefits (like being on the deans list 4 times in a row), but I also am completely stressed all the time. Something I need to work on for sure.

6. Growing up I was so afraid of change but I'm pretty sure going to college on my own was what completely changed that. I am so much more open to trying new things and having new adventures now.

7. I love holidays! Mostly because they mean family together, which doesn't happen very often.

8. Back in August I died my hair dark brown for the first time. I was a toe-head blondie when I was little but my hair slowly became light brown by the time I was a freshman in high school. Since then I highlighted it, and it became more and more blonde as time went on. I seriously had an identity crisis for about a day and have loved it ever since. I don't think I'll ever go back. It matches my roots better and is so much less upkeep.

9. I still use the same phone I have had for about 4 years now because I can't fathom spending 30 extra dollars per person for data packages. The front button may be falling off but who cares right?

10. My favorite restaurant these days is Cafe Rio. Their pork salad is heavenly.

11. I am terrified of scary movies. Even a 2 minute clip becomes burned in my mind and suddenly I think there is a serial killer in my shower or a crazy lady coming out of my TV and I just become a complete basket case. I think I'll stick with comedies and chick flicks. I'm a lucky girl that Nic is okay with both.

12. I secretly (or not so secretly around some people haha) am so excited to be a mommy! Don't get me wrong, I love this stage of my life - newly married, husband and I getting all the time in the world just to spend with each other. We can up and leave town without having to worry about anything and I plan on it staying that way for a while, but a girl can still daydream. When I was a little girl my favorite thing was to play "house". I was ALWAYS the mommy, my brother was usually forced into being the dad HA (poor boy, but hey, when he is your only sibling, you do what you gotta do people). I also would circle every single baby doll in the JCPenny catalog at Christmas hoping that Santa would get the idea that I wanted ALL of them.
Baby Williamson... someday you will consume a big part of my heart, I just know it. Until then.

Whitney's Questions for Me...

1. What is your favorite healthy food?
I would have to say fruit, of any kind.

2. Who is your favorite celebrity and why?
My favorite celebrity is Jennifer Aniston
I mean look at her, she is drop dead gorgeous and I would kill for her body!

do you see that guy checking out her butt right now? haha

Not to mention that I have pretty much loved everything she has been in - Friends, Along Came Polly, He's just Not that in to You, The Switch, and my FAVORITE movie right now - Just Go With It!

3. Where is the best place that you have ever traveled?
Hands down BEST place I have ever traveled was my honeymoon in St. Lucia. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

4. Cats or dogs?
Would I be a terrible person if I said neither? One thing I have learned about myself is that I'm really not a pet person. It may have to do with the fact that I had to get rid of every pet that I have ever had in my childhood. If Nic and I ever got a pet we would get a dwarf bunny.

5. What is your favorite TV show?
I can't decide. These are my top 4 favorites - Friends, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, and Grey's Anatomy

6. What is your favorite fashion accessory?
Earrings! The only time you will see me without them is when I'm working out or sleeping, other than that they are my favorite accessory with any outfit.

7. If you could have on super power, what would it be and why?

Enough said :)

8. Dream occupation?
This is a hard one because there are so many dreams I have for myself. I think being a mom can definitely be considered an occupation. You become a chef, a nurse, a maid, a caretaker, a teacher, etc. all wrapped into one. I of course also consider my future teaching career one of my dream occupations. I love watching little ones learn and grow. Another passion of mine is writing and I dream about writing my own novel someday. Well, lets just stop there before before I get too carried away...

9. Why do you blog?
I blog because I love to write and because this space has become my own little journal of the things happening in Nic and I's lives that I can one day share with our children. It is also a way to share with others what we have been up to and is occasionally a creative outlet for me to share crafts or recipes.

10. Favorite kind of cupcake?
I'm not a fan of cupcakes or cake in general for that matter but I do have a sweet tooth for ice cream or a cookie :)

11. Sleep in or wake up early?
Definitely sleep in. Mornings come way too early sometimes. This is why I look forward to the weekends.

12. Did you make a resolution this year and if so, what is it and have you kept it up?
I have found that if I make New Year's resolutions I get WAY to carried away with all of the things I would like to better/change about myself and I end up failing because I try to change too many things at once. Having learned this, I take it one day at a time and try to limit what I focus on. I find that if I do it this way and focus on what is the most important to me first, I am less likely to get so down on myself if I have a bad day and encourage myself to start fresh again the next. If I look at it this way, then every day can be considered a resolution.
