Seven random things about me:

1. My favorite “sweet” sugar is Lucky Charms; however, the only way that I eat them is by eating all of the grain/cereal pieces first and then saving the marshmallows for last. And of course…no milk.

2. My mom claims that as a toddler, my ambition was to grow up to become a purple pig…I have no recollection of this…thank heavens I grew out of that phase!

3. During high school, Angie and I went through a phase where we loved the “Wedding Planner”. We went to the movie at least three times in one day while it was playing at the dollar theater and would sing the soundtrack aloud at the top of our lungs.

4. I LOVE Disney (especially the Disney-type stuff from my youth). I love to visit Disneyland, one of our bathrooms is done in vintage Mickey Mouse, and I love to watch the old Disney cartoons.

5. I love the South-eastern part of the United States and I would move there (to the Carolinas or Tennessee) if I had a good reason.

6. During my first semester of college, I got pretty sick with the stomach flu. I had to take a test, so I decided to suck it up and take the test as quickly as possible. While I was in the testing center, I had a horrible wave of nausea and threw up all over myself. Amazingly enough, I got one of my highest scores on that test.

7. I went through a phase where I stayed up late (until 2:00 – 3:00AM) watching Nick at Night and crocheting a blanket.
