32 Facts About Me


On Monday, I celebrated my 32nd birthday. When I turned 30, I shared one of my favorite blog posts – 30 things I'd learned by 30. While today's post isn't nearly as exciting, I did think it would be fun to share 32 facts about myself in honor of my birthday. So, here are a few things you may or may not know about me:

1. I'm the oldest of four children.
2. Horseback riding is the only sport I love.
3. Being tall is the best. I'm just shy of 6 ft.
4. When I tell stories, I always give too many details.
5. Jeans are my favorite item of clothing, even in the summer.
6. A skill I want to learn: how to use my DSLR camera.
7. Being a stay-at-home mom to my two boys is a dream come true.
8. Five years ago, I found out I had thyroid cancer.
9. Georgia has always been my home.
10. I failed my first driver's license test because I couldn't reverse into a space.
11. Every morning, I make my bed.
12. Go Dawgs! I graduated from The University of Georgia.
13. My best friend and I met through blogging. 
14. Instrumental movie soundtracks give me life, especially Pride and Prejudice (2005).
15. I have a fake tooth. After the baby tooth fell out, there was no adult one to replace it.
16. One summer in college, I studied abroad at Oxford.
17. This July, I'll celebrate 10 years of marriage.
18. I have a freckle in the corner of my eye that people often mistake for dirt.
19. All of my favorite movies are costume dramas. 
20. The best gift I've ever received: the bookshelves my husband built for me.
21. I used to say I'd never have a dog or an iPhone... Hahaha!
22. Felicity is my favorite American Girl.
23. I was in a sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, in college.
24. My husband and I met on a trip to South Africa.
25. A scene in the movie A Little Princess always makes me cry.
26. I love buying cookbooks but don't love to cook.
27. Even though my kids wake up early, I'm still a night owl.
28. Eddie Redmayne and James McAvoy are my celebrity crushes.
29. I am definitely an overthinker. 
30. The sound of nails scratching tights/pantyhose makes me want to gag.
31. Birds make me irrationally nervous. 
32. My love for Jesus and my faith informs everything I do.

When I was making my list, many of the facts I initially typed were related to books. Since I talk about books in this space all the time, I decided to stick to things you're less likely to know about me. However, I will probably share another list in a week or two with some nerdy facts about my reading life.

  1. I wasn't expecting number 5 - thank you for sharing your story.
    And being British, I am smiling at the thought of Eddie Redmayne and James McAvoy (and your year in Oxford). :)

  2. I’m right there with you on A Little Princess. The scene at the end where she cries out for her Papa gets me every time.
