random 25

Well...since everyone is doing these on facebook...and it has become such a huge deal...like on-line and on the news...iI decided to do one too! I just really got excited everytime I logged on to facebook and saw someone who had posted one...so here is mine (I posted it on facebook too...but figured what the heck, I took the time to do it, might as well put it on my blog as well):

1. Every time that I log on to facebook (which is often), and I see one of these top 25 posts, I get excited…so I guess I will do one too!

2. Filling this out is a bit “out of my box”…I don’t usually do this stuff. For instance, I have NEVER posted a bulletin on MySpace…and don’t divulge too much info on-line…until now.

3. I always heard people say “you don’t know what love is until you have a child of your own”….and I thought…well, I think I do, I love a lot…BUT, its true…the minute you see your own little one for the first time, you love more than you ever thought possible!

4. Ryan and I are getting married on Sept. 26…and we can’t WAIT! We are so excited for that day. We have such fun friends…so having them all together under one roof is sure to make for a great time!

5. If someone would have told me three years ago…that by 2009 I would be getting married and have a child I would have laughed…but now it is a reality, and I couldn’t be happier…I wouldn’t change a thing! I feel very lucky.

6. I am pretty much obsessed with reality TV….you name it, I probably watch it…

7. I am working on my Masters…and should be done with my Plan B this semester…so I will graduate in May! I am excited…but won’t know what to do when I am done…I have been in school FOREVER…so not having class/homework/research will be strange!

8. I have never eaten Tuna….or any meat that comes out of a can for that matter. Just not my thing!

9. I love to travel! I don’t get to do it enough…BUT we are going to Jamaica in June and I cant wait.

10. some people say that I am a bad driver…some call it “aggressive” driving…whatev, I’m OK with it.

11. I add “kins” after some peoples names…just those that I love…such as: Mommy-kins, Daddy-kins, roomie-kins (for ex. Roomies) etc. You get the idea…NOW many of my friends refer to me as Annie-kins…I’ll take it as a term of endearment

12. my sister just moved home after living in Colorado for two years…and I am SUPER happy….she is my best friend, she has been my whole life. We have always been very close. When we were younger I thought that I wanted my own room, but when I got it, we ended up sleeping in the same room anyway. Then in college we moved out of our parents house…but eventually in to the same apt. as each other.

13. I LOVE Mexican food. It is def. my fav. When I was preggers I could eat it every day (well at least 4 times/week). Everyone thought that after I had the baby I would never want it again…that didn’t happen. I could still eat it just as often…except for now I CANT…unless I still wanted to APPEAR preggers…no thanks to that!

14. My parents are the best. I love them so much. I love that all of my friends have always been close to them as well. I talk to them every day. Usually talk to my mom multiple times a day…and see her every day too! If I ever move away I will have a hard time not seeing her all of the time.

15. Speaking of moving away…when I was in high school I thought that I would never go to CMU so I could get away, but then I stayed…and then when I was at CMU I thought that as soon as I graduated I would get a job somewhere else, so I could get away, but then I stayed…and now…I work in Mt. P, I own a home in Mt. P, and I really like it in Mt. P…I can’t really see myself living anywhere else right now.

16. Ryan’s family is the best. I really love them…and I feel like they are my family. Which is great, since they will be my family in about 7 months.

17. I have a LOT of clothes…my closet is SO full that there is NO room for anything else. (and its not like it is a small closet or anything…it is a walk-in), BUT, somehow I still feel like I have NOTHING to wear! I used to have a small problem with shopping for clothes, it is getting better. Now I have this thing, whenever I buy a new item of clothing, I have to get rid of one item in my closet…swap them out, you know? Since there is no room for any more hangers…

18. I prefer cookie dough to the actual cookies…but if I do make cookies, and eat them….I have to eat them on a plate, with a fork. I never just pick up a cookie and munch on it. My old roomie Erica thought that was crazy. She was probably just mad b/c she did most of the dishes…so a new plate for each cookie might seem a bit extreme to her!

19. I don’t really watch many movies…I have a short attention span, and generally get sick of it before it is over. I’ll just stick with my reality TV.

20. The crazy thing about TV is, is that I will watch episodes that I have already seen…it drives Ryan CRAZY…but in my defense, MTV, VH1, Bravo, E!, etc. always play re-runs…so I sorta get sucked in. I feel like Ry has no room to talk, because he could watch SportsCenter all day long…and I watch it with him for just a few minutes, and I see the same thing over and over! AND he watched fishing on TV, seriously, who watches fishing?…He does….talk about repetitive.

21. The first time that I ever went camping, like in a tent, was two years ago. My friends thought that I wouldn’t be able to handle it…but I did…and now I actually sorta like it! Who knew…

22. the reason that I never went camping was because my family had a cottage on a lake while I was growing up, and now my parents live on the lake full time…one day I hope to live on the lake too!

23. I LOVE my car…but now that I am a mom, I am thinking that maybe I need a more mommy-ish car…but NOT a mini…maybe a cross-over.

24. I really like my job. I have always enjoyed working…but I am dreading going back in two and a half weeks. I have thoroughly enjoyed my maternity leave…and am worried about how much I am going to miss my baby when I go back to work!

25. Ryan makes me laugh…we laugh til we cry OFTEN…and I LOVE it. Laughing is the best.
