If You Really Knew Me...

I saw someone do a post like this several weeks ago, I can't remember where the idea exactly came from, but I stored it away until now. I thought it'd be fun to share some really random facts about me.


So if you really knew me, you'd know that I love cottage cheese and that it's one of the most frequently eaten foods in my diet (until now that I've given up dairy again...sigh). I for some odd reason seem to think that it goes well with just about everything. Lyle makes fun of me constantly for it. It's a good sour cream substitute on soup & tacos, a great way to top off your mac & cheese, delicious with salsa mixed in, or as a fruit pairing (my favorite being honey dew melon & blueberries. yumm). 

If you really knew me you'd know that I love a clean & tidy house, but I'm not terribly organized.
If you really knew me, you'd know that I absolutely love wine and coffee. But if you really knew me well, you'd know that it's not about the wine & coffee, but more about the experience and people associated with it. I love long walks with friends with a coffee in hand or shopping on a cool day around University Village while sipping on that hot drink that warms your soul; I love relaxing with a few girlfriends just sipping on a delicious glass of wine while nibbling on yummy cheeses. Neither of these drinks tastes quite the same when I'm alone. 

You'd know that I can be obsessive about running.

If you really knew me you'd know that I count most everything in my head: the number of times a phone rings before getting picked up, how many sips I take from my water bottle at one time, the number of seconds my hair is wrapped around the curling iron for. 

You'd know that I like to pop blemishes and have a hard time leaving them alone! Yuck!

If you really knew me you'd know that I love tradition and keeping things the same, and that I love getting my ears cleaned out by the doctor.

I was once on the cover of a magazine with my friend Kelli.

It drives me crazy when the toilet seat covers are left up and when cupboard and closet doors get left open!

If you really knew me you'd know that I love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

I want to become a true photographer and be a stay-at-home-mom someday.

If you really knew me you'd know how much I love the simple things in life: walks, runs, coffee, spending quality time with others and moving through the day slowly as much as I can.

Tell me, what should we know about you??

I was just daydreaming last night that about our families living in the same city and growing up together. About how I could just pop by to visit for a few minutes and have a glass of wine. I'm also proud to say that I new about 95% of your "about me" tidbits, but 100% would have been better. Love you and miss you sis.
