1. I am SO excited to be going on the World Race!
2. I am looking forward to what I think will be a year of warm weather, but fall is my favorite season.
3. I always over pack no matter where I am going because I like to have options. But I can honestly say I am excited about the idea of living out of a backpack for a year.
4. My favorite meal is breakfast. I could probably eat breakfast food for every meal of the day. I'm not sure if I ever have, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea!
5. Things I will never say no to: chocolate milk, blueberry pancakes, cheerios, sweet potato fries, caramel, and chocolate.
6. I will try ALMOST anything once.
7. I cheered for 4 years at UGA.
8. I love to dance. I’m not very good at it, but taking dance lessons is still on my “to do” list.
9. I have an amazing family. My mom teaches 7th grade Math, and my dad just retired as a colonel from the army. I have two brothers- Andrew and Alex, one sister- Anna. Andrew lives in Chicago and currently works in New York. Anna is about to start her 2nd year at UGA in the fall, and Alex will be a Junior in high school. I am the second by the way.
10. I love surprises.
11. I don’t make lists.
12. Every time I get to the grocery store I think to myself, “man, I really should have made a list.”
13. I enjoy doing things outdoors, going to the beach, lake, mountains, etc.
14. I have only traveled out of the country for missions one time and that was to Russia for 2 weeks.
15. I am only 5 feet tall…sometimes it’s a good thing… other times, not so much.
16. I enjoy reading.
17. I love to drive, anywhere…sometimes alone (with music) or on a road trip with friends!
18. I love to drive fast…this is usually not a good thing.
19. I have a really, really bad memory…
20. I do like Pintrest!
21. My favorite color is probably blue, but generally I don’t have favorites because I like too many things (books, movies, etc.) to choose just one.
22. I lived in a house this past year with 6 (sometimes 7) girls. I really enjoy being around people.
23. I love to play games, but I’m not super competitive.
24. Eating is really high on my priority list most days…sometimes I plan my day around when and where I am going to eat.
25. I am really easily entertained.
26. One of my many weaknesses is that I over commit. Sometimes I even commit to two things that are happening at the same time, and it is physically impossible for me to do both of the things that I said I would do. Other times it isn’t impossible so I just do everything I signed up for, and then feel like I have done 1293 awesome things but I haven’t fully invested in any of them. Still praying about this, but I think the Lord is starting to show me how to slow down and REST in HIM.
27. Studying the Bible through Precept has completely changed the way I view God’s Word.
28. Sometimes I am really bad at explaining things.
29. I am usually very indecisive. Honestly, I don’t have a strong preference. I just want everyone to be happy
30. I really enjoy theme parks…Disney World, Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, and Dollywood.
31. I really like music. All kinds. And I usually sing along whether I know the words or not. Some of my favorites are Allison Kraus, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Norah Jones, and Needtobreathe. Generally my music preference changes weekly though.
32. I took American Sign Language and learned a lot (have forgotten some since), but its something that I hope to become fluent in eventually.
33. I joined the UGA skydiving club but never actually went skydiving…its still on my bucket list!
34. If I had it my way, I would never order anything at a restaurant. Instead, I would just make a plate with a little of what everyone else has. I don’t like to eat a lot of one thing… unless it involves sugar.
35. I won a state championship for softball in high school. I was only a courtesy runner…didn’t actually play, but it was fun for the next 6 years because my sister was/is a great softball player and loves the game, but her team always ended up in 2nd at state. We would all tease her because I had a ring, and softball wasn't ever my favorite sport. I cheered thoughout high school and ran track. Finally her senior year, her team won state AND went undefeated. She made sure to order a bigger ring!
36. I have pretty amazing friends. Some are my age, some are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 70s. God has really been teaching me the importance of having older, wiser friends and they have been such a blessing in my life.
37. I enjoy running, especially with my sister. I ran my first 5k about a month ago and it was for Chick-fil-a.
38. My favorite fast food restaurant is Chick-fil-a.
39. I like coffee.
40. I like to ride bikes and horses, but I don’t own either. Therefore, I do not ride either very often.
41. I love the sky. Sometimes I will pull over, slow down, or even turn around to try to take a picture of it.
42. My dad’s family is from Ireland. I have never been, but I plan to go one day.
43. I really enjoy traveling. Since I graduated at the beginning of May, I have not been in the same city for more than a week at a time.
44. I am from a really small town.
45. I love old, vintage style things.
46. One verse that I try to live by is John 3:30. Its so easy to get wrapped up in a me-centered lifestyle, so I pray constantly that the Lord will remind me that I am here to make His name greater. Not mine.
47. My degree from UGA is in Math Education and I do hope to either teach one day or continue in full time mission work.
48. Sometimes I make plans, but I usually like to go somewhere without a plan.
49. I said earlier that I don’t make lists, and I don’t. But I do have a calendar that is generally full from the 1st day of the month to the last!
50. I love sports. I will definitely miss UGA football this next year.
