1) I have a tendency to overanalyze things so this blog will probably take me much longer to complete than I'd like to admit.
2) I am weird about grammar. If I misspell something and can’t correct it, it will haunt me. I still haven’t figured out if it’s “Bachelor’s degree” or “bachelors degree” and it’s driving me crazy.
3) I hardly ever get sick, but when I do it seems to be some strange stuff. I’ve had shingles, mono, swine flu, and some inexplicable massive swelling in my arms.
4) I despise social networking. Mainly because there are so many things in life that seem to be focused around one's self. I do see the pros, though.
5) I underestimate my strength far too often.
6) Being near large bodies of water brings me comfort and peace.
7) I tend to favor action-packed movies and have a hard time tolerating "chick flicks".
8) I love the outdoors, although I rarely find myself outdoors these days.
9) I tend to be a people pleaser.
10) I am obsessed with moisturizing my face.
11) I enjoy being a little strange and different. People always describe me as either weird or crazy.
12) I have recently cleaned up my vocabulary and if I ever slip up and curse it secretly pains me inside.
13) I care too much about what other people think of me.
14) I enjoy being awkward.
15) I also enjoy awkward moments. They entertain me.
16) I can initially be a bit shy, but when I warm up to people I can’t stop talking.
17) I tend to annoy myself when I can't stop talking.
18) I received my BS in Elementary Education, but I am not pursuing my degree. (Yes, my mother is thrilled).
19) I got my first cell phone at the age of 18 and purchased an iPod at 23; I am slow to warm up to technology. I try to avoid anything that could be another “distraction”.
20) I love getting caught up in a great book.
21) I've recently got sucked into reading about health-related topics. It sort of gives me a headache, but I continue anyways, ha!
22) I crave more adventure in my life! God clearly knows this and has called me to it 🙂
23) I am obsessed with Disney movies.
24) I will always be a child at heart.
25) I love unconditionally and it gets me in trouble, but I don’t think I’ll ever change even if I get crushed a million times over.
26) I have a great appreciation for art. Any type of art. I love thinking about the process and the hard work that went into it.
27) I cry very easily at sappy movies. It’s kind of embarrassing.
28) Speaking of embarrassment, I blush easily. And when I blush I can feel that I'm blushing so it lingers far longer than I wish it would.
29) I believe you can debate theology, but you can't debate an experience with God.
30) I will not settle for a mediocre relationship with the Lord. It is a constant work in progress for me, though.
31) I love heels. Very high heels… And I’m 5’10” without them so…… ya know.
32) I love pasta.
33) I love pizza.
34) I love carbs, who am I kidding?
35) This is the biggest step of faith I’ve taken so far in my life and I’m beyond excited for this journey!!!
36) I procrastinate. A lot. Hence why this blog is just now being written.
37) With that being said, I work much better under pressure.
38) I can tell that people think I am lazy or irresponsible because of the fact that I never pursued a career or have wanted to use my degree, but I am a firm believer that there is much more to life than what I do for a living or how much money I make.
39) I wish I were a professional dancer. I’m that person that watches a performance and secretly envisions myself on stage. And the person that accepts the gold medal at the Olympics. Don’t tell anyone I just told you that.
40) I don’t like fancy things. Mostly because I don't like the idea of valuing things.
41) I will probably have a challenging time adjusting to infrequent showers, BUT there are worse things in life.
42) I have one older sister who is currently pregnant with her child! (It's a girl!) I will be an Auntie for the first time!
43) I love all types of music, but I really love me some jazz music. I love the freedom of it!
44) I am an extreme extrovert. I have to get things out on the table right away and find a resolution right away. It’s a little neurotic.
45) I love uplifting, inspiring quotes, but nothing is more powerful than the word of God.
46) I enjoy stumbling upon new music groups! Right now I’m listening to a Christian group called “The Brilliance” and they are AMAZING!
47) I love laughing and making other people laugh.
48) I don’t fancy change, but I have noticed I’m starting to ease up on that and trust in the Lord a bit more.
49) I am ridiculously excited to meet people from all walks of life!
50) I am also excited to look back at this list after my experience with the World Race and see how I may have changed 🙂
