About the Author

Okay, I am a wannabe author.. but since this is my blog I guess I am one! Most of you already know me, but here are a few fun facts you probably do not know:
  1. As a kid, when my mom would comb out my hair,  I would tell her these outrageous stories about "Mr. Tangler" and what shenanigans he was up to in my hair the night before. I plan on writing this children's book one day. 
  2. I like to think that what I do is not who I am. Although, I struggle with this daily. By day, I am a graphic designer/marketing coordinator for a IT company and all the other times I am a Wife, Mom, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. Those titles mean more to me than any corporate title I will ever hold. 
  3. I am not a fan of breakfast food. I will not eat eggs out anywhere, except home. Quirky I know.
  4. I am horrible at grammar although I like to think I am not. I cannot spell. Most of the time spell check cannot even figure out what I am trying to type.  
  5. I commute about 3 hours a day and am probably one of the most impatient drivers. I am not an aggressive driver, I just commentate about what is going on around me very loudly. 
  6. I have always wanted to be a mom. I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything. Not because I think it is an easy job, in fact I believe it is the hardest job, it is just the "job" I have always wanted. 
  7. I use to think I was not creative. I now know I am. 
  8. I am a wannabe photographer. If I could have any other job.. this is what I would pick. I am also a wannabe baker, interior designer, wedding planner, and nutritionist. 
  9. I want a very big family. 
  10. I like to think I am very forgiving and understanding. I try not to hold grudges, but I am human and it happens.  
  11. I have not read the whole Bible and I really want to. One day I want to be able to quote scripture. 
  12. My dad may have passed away when I was 13, but I will always be daddy's girl. 
  13. My mom is one of my best friends. We have a relationship I could never explain to anyone.. I spent age 13 and 14 playing Skip-bo with my mom almost everyday. Please do not ask me to ever play this game with you. 
  14. I use to exercise 5 times a week. It has been 18 months since I have exercised consistently. Something I am very upset about. 
  15. As a kid, I can remember standing outside before a storm, looking for the "green tent" in the sky that everyone was talking about. Little did I know there was not really a green camping tent up there. 
  16. I cannot say the word no without saying it three times in a row like it is one word "nonono." I never knew this until Matt pointed it out to me. This unfortunately has been going on long before Hadley was even born. 
  17. My hair goes from blonde to brunette and vice-versa often.
  18. I have a hard time saying no and I want to be everything to everybody.. I am a people pleaser. I think it is both good and bad. 
  19. I am way too sensitive.
  20. I have a hard time saying remote controller. I say it remote-can-controller. I have no idea why. I have to really think about it before I say or else that is how it comes out. 
  21. I love my family so much and want to spend as much time with them as I can. I know how limited time with loved ones really can be.
  22. I use too many smiley faces, exclamation marks, and prepositional phrases. I am working on toning it down.
