25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

July 29, 2014 by Julie 129 Comments

This is one of those super-random blog posts that I figured might be fun and also spark some great comments from you guys since I always love learning more about you! I first saw this questionnaire on Tina’s blog a couple of weeks ago and bookmarked it since I thought it was very entertaining to read.

The questionnaire provides 25 prompts to reveal “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me,” and while longtime readers probably do know some of these things, there were a few random prompts that may reveal some new stuff. Feel free to play along in the comments section of this post. I love getting to know you better!

25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

1. I’m happiest when… 1.) I’m hiking with Ryan and Sadie 2.) Hanging out with my family 3.) I’m with my girlfriends

2. …Especially if it… 1.) Involves beautiful autumn mountain views 2.) Involves a holiday tradition 3.) Involves doing absolutely nothing together

3. I’ve always wanted to… See whales in the wild and scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef.

4. My family and I… Support and love each other unconditionally. And have a lot of fun together!

5. I was a terrible… Math student. (Copying Tina on this one because it’s so very true!)

6. My first job was… Working as a lifeguard at Birchwood Pool in Palatine, Illinois.

7. I could probably eat ice cream everyday. There should not be a “probably” in this equation.

8. I stole… I can’t think of anything! Unless you count my sister’s clothes/purses/shoes. (We did this to each other.)

9. I was born on the same day as… Ulysses Grant and Casey Kasem.

10. My all-time favorite film is… Father of the Bride.

11. I do a pretty mean… Sadie impression.

12. I’m still mad… I didn’t study abroad.

13. I met my husband… In college. (The below photo was taken at my sorority’s camo social which should explain Ryan’s stylin’ headband.)

Camo social

14. I always knew I wanted… A dog. We never had one growing up and a puppy was always on my Christmas list. Sadie was a long time coming!

Swimming vizsla

15. I’m not afraid to… Go scuba diving!

16. I make the best… Cookies ‘n’ cream milkshakes. Just ask Ryan!

17. I have almost no… Flexibility. It’s sad.

18. I always cry when… I see or read about dogs that have been abused or mistreated. Or when I read this blog post. (Seriously, I cried again just linking to that post. Sadie must live forever.)

19. I’m (now) a North Carolinian, but I think I’ll always identify  most as a Midwestern girl. 

20. I spent 12 years… Living in Palatine, Illinois before moving to Florida the summer before I started college.

21. I wish my folks… Lived closer to me.

22. At 5, I was deeply in love with dolphins and The Little Mermaid. 

23. I believe if everyone exercised a little more kindness, the world would be a better place.

be kind to others

24. I can’t stand… Small, enclosed spaces. (I’m claustrophobic.)

25. Whenever Friends is on, I’ll watch it.

Lunch

A random survey followed by a quick lunch recap? Why not!?

Today’s afternoon meal included a chicken tikka masala wrap that I made with fresh spinach and leftovers from last night’s dinner.

Plus a little sweetness on the side in the form of Brookside pomegranate dark chocolate.

  • Long chevron charm necklace: White Plum

    #7. I am the same. And I frequently DO eat ice cream (or rather frozen yogurt) every night….or Jeremiah’s. Ha. That stuff is addictive.

    Personally I think it’s really spectacular that I was born on the same day as James Franco. *swoon* Also, I’m obsessed with those pomegranate things! They are a little TOO addicting…

    You guys should consider Ambergis Caye, Belize for diving. They have (I believe) the second largest coral reef in the world, and it’s a much shorter flight!

    Hi Julie! Long time, no talk. I am trying to get back into the world of blogging and catching up with my favorite blogs as well. Hence, why I’m commenting on a post that is 22 days old. I absolutely loved this concept and am using it for my post tomorrow! Sadie is still so freaking adorable and still my dream dog. One of my coworkers just got a vizsla and soon I’ll be teaching it how to run once it gets a bit older. I’ll probably be asking you questions about that later on! 🙂

So, when I read her post about the things you might not know about her…I thought that would be such fun to do…and to be honest, some of the questions were harder to answer than I thought they would be.
