(A Little Too Much) About Me
I always have a hard time describing myself. It's too much pressure. So here are way too many facts about me (in no particular order) if you really want to know:
- I'm 25. My husband says I look like I'm 15, 16 on a good day. Fair enough.
- I'm short. 5 feet, 1 1/4 inches to be exact.
- My husband is my best friend and we have been together for almost 11 years (married for 6 1/2).

| Matt and I a few days after we started dating in June 2002. |
- We have two dogs. Romo is half chihuahua and half rat terrier (he's 5). Hatcher is our new baby. He's a pit bull and he's 6 1/2 months old. They both love to cuddle.
- I have two tattoos, one on each of my wrists. They're in Hebrew. The one on my left wrist basically means "to persevere" and the one on my right wrist means "to love."
- Our oldest daughter, Aliyah (we call her Squish), was born in March 2010. She's a crack up!
- Our youngest daughter, Mattéa (we call her Tater), was born in September 2011. She is a stubborn sweetheart.
- They both absolutely love to dance, especially Gangnam Style...
- I work mostly from home as an insurance broker and even though it's difficult to be an employee and a mommy at the same time (sometimes talking on the phone to an insurance carrier rep and trying to quiet down a screaming toddler is hard!), I wouldn't change staying at home with my babies for the world.
- I am the assistant coach of the Grants Pass High School Royalettes (dance team).
- I'm impatient.
- I'm shy when I feel uncomfortable, and probably too loud when I don't.
- I was involved in competitive gymnastics and dance growing up (and I wasn't too bad!)
- I did track my junior and senior year of high school. As far as I know, I still hold the school pole vault record at 10' 6" :)
- I competed in Miss Oregon twice.
- I have an associates degree in Early Childhood Education.
- I love ice cream and cupcakes.
- I LOVE jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts and flip flops.
- I hate being wrong.
- I love to laugh. A lot.
- I'm an open book. Probably too open sometimes.
- We just bought our first house in June 2012. We're just getting around to organizing and decorating, but it's coming together!
- Even though I complain about it sometimes, I like our fast-paced life. However, I tend to put too much on my plate and turn into a crazy person, so I would LOVE for it to slow down a little bit.
- If I don't have a plan, a schedule, a list, or I'm not organized, it drives me absolutely crazy. If something isn't planned, I would rather not do it until I can pencil it in. I think a lot of this comes from having kids, but I've always had a planner and a calendar on hand! I guess you could say I'm not the most spontaneous person around.
- I second-guess myself a lot. Probably because I care too much about other people's opinions of me, I tend to be a perfectionist, and I expect a lot from myself.
- One of my worst fears is throwing up. I seriously have a phobia.
- My top goals in life are to serve my God and live for Him, show Him to others around me, be the best wife and mom I can be, lend a helping hand to those in need, and to be a light for His name.
- I honestly have no idea where this blog is going to go, or how often I will write, or how motivated I will be to keep up with it. But I pray that whatever comes out of my mouth (or my typing fingers), God will use to speak to others.
That is all.
