So like everyone on Facebook is doing this "25 Random Things...", and so I thought I'd post it here for my 2 friends (uhhh - Turners!) that don't do Facebook. Here you go:
1. My sister Heaf is my #1 person in life. We are totally opposite, but can't live without each other. We come as a set, so if you don't like it-tough!
2. My friend Sherry is my BFF! It took me almost 30 years to find her, but she's been such a blessing.
3. I LOVE my small group at church. They are my extended family and support system - amazing.
4. Diet Coke is my addiction. I don't do coffee....I do Diet Coke. Deal with it.
5. I'm NOT a morning person. It's somewhat of a joke with my friends and family - but not really. I don't really wake up until about 10am, and if you talk to me before 9am, you're taking your chances. Consider yourself warned.
6. I love sports: football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, tennis, X-games, etc. Good times. Not really a hockey fan, but I grew up in Texas,l not Canada, and it didn't get here until high school. Didn't have much of a chance with me.
7. Volleyball is my favorite sport. I'm not the greatest, but love to play and get to do it with my friends.
8. I am very hot-natured, and love my air-conditioning. If you come to my house, know that it will always be somewhere between 68 and 72 degrees (usually not above 70). Dress accordingly.
9. Reading is one of my favorite things. I am one of those people who doesn't like to put a book down once I start reading. I have stayed up many nights in my life until 2 or 3 am just to finish a good book.
10. So I didn't intentionally forget my parents earlier. They are the most fabulous people on earth, and I love them in ways I can't describe. They are my foundation, and I'm grateful for it.
11. Jake and Ella are my favorite kids EVER! I never thought I'd live to see the day when a child would be able to tell my mom and dad what to do...but Ella does it ALL THE TIME!! How does she get away with it, and Heaf and I always got in trouble?
12. I love the ocean. There is nothing like listening to the "tide break" to get relaxed. Even better if you can do it while relaxing on a sailboat.
13. I just accidentally deleted like 6 items, and now I don't want to re-type them all.
14. I love the Vines / Cope crew. Theay are amazing and fun, and I love them all dearly.
15. I am a complete human science geek. I'm the weird friend that WANTS to go to the ER with you, see the surgery pictures, etc.
16. I'm full of sass and sarcasm.....be prepared for it. That's my primary language.
17. Through the past year, I've learned a lot about myself, and I'm glad to have learned it.
18. Nothing makes my blood boil faster than someone being condescending to me. Just because I'm younger than you, doesn't mean I'm a child. Don't treat me like one. Just because I don't know everything, doesn't mean I'm stupid. Don't act like I am.
19. I'm a very picky eater, and hate 99% of vegetables. My vegetarian mother gave up on me years ago. Poor thing, she tried everything she could. :(
20. I like all types of music. I listen to everyone from Mercy Me to Sugarland to Michael Buble to Bon Jovi to Linkin Park. I'll listen to anything once, and then either like it or not. I don't restrict myself based on genre or anything.
21. I love recipes and cooking, but never seem to cook as much as I should.
22. Totally just realized that I skipped #22 when I posted this on Facebook! What a moron.
23. I don't have any pets, because I'm allergic to just about everything, except fish, reptiles, and amphibians....and I don't want those.
24. Although I am a native Texan, there will always be a certain piece of me that's an Aussie.
25. I have been to places on 4 continents: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia
Don't you wish you were there? Well, this past week, I was. Sherry and I got out of town and hit the beach of South Padre Island for a few days! It was so nice to get away from the "real world" and have a break for a bit. The water was pretty, sand was soft, and the breeze just right.
