10 Things You May Not Know About Me

August 27, 2019

Well, it’s been an interesting week getting some of this technical mumbo jumbo situated with the new site but I think we’re headed down the right path!  I thought I might do something a little different this week.  I don’t think I have done a get to know the woman behind the blog post yet.  So…here we go!

Fact #1:  I am a proud ADOPTED kid.  I have amazing parents who adopted me and I am grateful every day!  I’ve known as long as I can remember and when I was asked in class what my fun fact about me was, that was always it.  #thankful 

Fact #2:  I play GOLF (this one’s going to be a little long).  I started playing when little.  I was fortunate to be able to travel across the United States and play on the American Junior Golf Association.  This lead me to a scholarship to Auburn University and another marvelous experience. I had a wonderful coach and am still close to her and my core teammates.  Needless to say, it was an amazing experience.  Would I be able to compete with the team now, probably not.  Those girls are good!  WAR EAGLE!!

Fact #3:  I LOVE music!  I love to SING!  It’s such a great stress reliever!  Turn up the music and sing your heart out! 

Fact #4:  I play the VIOLIN!  I know what you’re thinking…do what!  Yes, this is one of my fun facts.  I started playing the violin in 4th grade.  Before we moved, I joined the orchestra at Time To Shine and was the old lady of the group of 6 plus our instructor, Ms. Frances.  It was awesome!  I miss my group.  

Fact #5:  I met my HUSBAND at the golf course.  Crazy, right!  He’s my lobster!  I don’t know what I’d do without him.  He’s my rock.  Knows when I need a kick in the butt or a hug with no words at all.  

Fact #6:  I’m a HUGE Disney fan.  In fact, we got married behind the Polynesian before they built the bungalows.  I love Star Wars and was in Hollywood Studios when the news broke about Carrie Fisher’s passing.  

Fact #7:  My favorite TV show FRIENDS! (hence the reference above!)  Rachel is my favorite character.  I could watch it every day and sometimes do!  

Fact #8:  I have not had soda in 744 days.  When I want something with bubbles, I have San Pellegrino.  It is my soda substitute!

Fact #9:  I started my RUNNING journey in 2013 at the runDisney Princess Weekend 5k.  I was hooked.  I ran my first half that year as well with my college roommate and her twin.

Fact #10:  I have one incredible DAUGHTER who amazes me daily.  She draws, sings, dances and acts. I can’t wait to see what the world has in store for her!

Whew! Well, that about sums me up! The next time someone asks you for an interesting fact about you, what would you tell them?

Leave me a comment and let me know!

Until next time, keep on truckin’!
