About Me...15 Facts Version!

I think I've done this once before but figured it was time for a newer version!

1. I was born in North Hollywood, California.

2. I love the color purple. I used to like pink but now I can barely stand it (even though I just bought a pink/white striped shirt...it was the stripes I liked).

 3. I've been married for almost three years. I got married "young" but I wouldn't change it if I could. Everything fell right into place and we wouldn't have it any other way.

4. I'm an extremely anal perfectionist. So much so, that it really bothers me sometimes but I would get so annoyed and irritated with myself if I was any other way.

 5. My personality type is ISTJ. Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgement. And it's totally accurate.

6. I absolutely don't believe in religion/denominations of any kind, but a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ (John 14:6). 

 7.  I'm a very compulsive shopper. If I see something I want, I must get it or find a way to have it. It's a terrible habit and I'm trying to break it but it's something that's always been hard for me.

8. That being said, I'm really not materialistic. If someone came in my house and stole a bunch of my clothes, shoes, books, whatever, I really wouldn't cry like a baby about it. Things are just that...things. I was born without them, I will die without them.

 9. I love the fashion of the 40s and 50s. 

10.I have a super wide variety of music on my iPod. I used to only listen to one type at a time but over the past couple years my taste has certainly evolved. The content ranges from JJ Heller to Five Finger Death Punch to Skillet to Lady Antebellum to Eminem to Demon Hunter.
11. There are seven billion people in the world, but I can only tolerate ten. Pretty much how I feel on most days!

 12. I love to sew and do crafty things, but if something doesn't come out exactly right I get super frustrated and won't make anything for days at a time. 
13. I love babies. Most of them. We hope to have a big family one day in the future.
14. I've always wanted to visit Greece, and even though I doubt I'll ever get there, I still think about it a lot.
15. I've deleted Facebook and got it back more times than I can count. I have issues where people find out dirt about me and then blab to others, then I find out eventually (my nose ring is unacceptable apparently). But whatever. I have too many real friends on there and it's just easier to block the offenders (or ignore their persistent "friend" requests). Muahahaha.

a touch of madness

I found this on Pinterest last night, and seriously, how true is that? Love it! Beethoven is my very favorite composer and he was certainly mad, but such a musical genious.

Anybody found anything Pinteresting lately? That place is such an inspiration to me, no lie.

life.

Hiiiii everyone!

I really think I can get back into the blogging groove again, because...I finally got a new laptop! I used to blog on a really bad quality netbook (it was great when it was in its prime) and it just wasn't working out. So after this morning and dealing with it freezing up constantly, I walked into Staples, called my husband, and informed him of how I was about to purchase us a new laptop. And he agreed!

Husband is currently not in NC...he's doing pre-deployment training in a classified area. ;-) Although we've been told he's not getting deployed anytime soon, this is "required" training for when it does happen.

Anyway...we love it in our new town! I suppose I like it more than he does for obvious reasons. I'm currently back home visiting my family while he's gone and I'm actually going to be working for a few weeks until he comes home. I figured it would make the time go by faster and Lord knows I can use all the help I can get!

Here are a few pictures to update you guys!

 We got a puppy! Her name is Sadie and she's a Jack Russell. Sooo adorable! She'll be 12 weeks old this coming Wednesday.

 Nap time...I tell B I don't want her to sleep in our bed so they nap on the couch instead! :-)

 My brother home during his pre-deployment leave. We also celebrated his 19th birthday. He deploys in May with the Army.

 Us at the NC Zoo a few weeks ago.

Got my nose pierced as a late Christmas gift from my brother. I have wanted this since I was 16 and it was worth the wait! I love it.

So...I really hope to get back into blogging! I still read all of your blogs but very rarely comment because it was such a long process with my old computer! I will be doing that more often, for sure!
