1. I studied abroad in France in college and it was the hardest and the best thing I have ever done. I backpacked through Italy, Germany and Belgium. 2. I'm obsessed with vintage things(clothes, houses, decor), and I don't mean in like the hipster way . I mean like I seriously think I was born 200 years too late. 3. I was born in Las Vegas. ;D 4. I'm a huge animal lover. I currently have 3 cats, 1 dog and 1 bird. 5. I have an obsession with the season of fall. The cider, pumpkins, Halloween, leaves....all of it. If I ever have a daughter I've known since I was 6 that I would name her Autumn after my love of the season. 6.I'm a HUGE book nerd. Barnes and Noble is like a second home. I just finished reading "The Hunger Games" trilogy..."Twilight" what?

I had one on here before but deleted it and decided to update. My 6 random facts are:
1. I have a total irrational fear of driving. I don't know if its actual driving itself or just taking the license test. I have tried 3 times and I always freeze when I get in the car to take the test.
2. Hubby and I met almost 4 years ago on an online site called IMVU. We have now been married almost 2 years and are expecting our first child (a baby boy) on May 4th.
3. We have 3 furry babies... a golden retriever (Bandit or Buddy as we like to call him), a shitzu mix (Boo Boos), and a cat who essentially runs the house (Hanger). I love my animals so much they make me smile even when I am feeling down. Extra note: My son and the golden retriever will be almost a year apart and I had a golden retriever growing up that she and I were a year apart.
4. Hubby and I live in Southern California while all of my family is in GA and 80% of his is in MI. This should be interesting to see how the grandparents take being on an opposite coast from their grandchild.
5. I have a huge fear of spiders. They totally creep me out.
6. I have what some would call an unhealthy obsession with all things bath, beauty, and CBV candles.

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet! 1. I'm deathly afraid of centipedes, and tornadoes. Genuine phobia. Both give me major panic attacks. I blame the tunnel scene from Willy Wonka for the centipede phobia, but I'm not sure where the tornado phobia comes from. 2. I'm currently in school studying Biology and Biotechnology. It is my dream to work in the field of Pharmacogenomics, which is the combination of Pharmacology (medications) and Genetics to specifically target and treat genetic disorders. They're currently using it in cancer treatment, as some people need different treatments that others don't. I think this field would work best in mental health treatment though. I think that if we could find definite genetic coding for certain mental illnesses, such as genetic bipolar disorder, it could change so many lives. I used to go to school for Nursing, but then I studied Microbiology and fell in LOVE. 3. I'm very nerdy. Some kind it charming. I love video games, comic books, reading (especially about science.) That's what my boyfriend says is nerdy and cute about me. However, I was called a nerd before it was cool, because I love learning. I have to constantly learn or I feel myself degrading as a person. 4. I'm obsessed with e-cigarettes. I consider myself an expect on them. They're delicious, and they got me off smoking, which some never thought would be possible. Why would I want a cancer stick when I could puff on Strawberry Lemonade vapor? Nom nom nom nom. 5. My boyfriend and I met online, and fell in love very quickly, which is completely different from how I normally do things. I was totally the guarded one who never put my feelings out. But, I ended up sleeping over his house accidentally on our second date and just... never left. He's the first person who I feel that I can be myself around, and he loves me for it. He's amazing. Although, he things my candle obsession is pretty weird. I tell him, at least the apartment doesn't smell like his farts anymore.

This is great! 1. I work for a drug and alcohol/mental health clinic and come from a family of aloholics (go figure lol) it wasnt a job I pursued but more fell into. I met my boss through a mutual friend and he asked me to come work for him, and even though it's hard some days, especially when there are children involved, it is also rewarding to a point as well. 2. My grandmother (father's side) and mother were both adopted and lived in foster families, so needless to say I have a very large extended 'family'. Family isnt defined by blood but by the love in your heart is how I see it. So growing up I have always considered adoption, but a 2 years ago I found out I have a hormone defisciency and may never have my own children, and even though I would love to adopt, I would have still preferred the choice. I am who I am because of adoption so I see it as God working mysteriously through me. You never know who your children will grow up to be or what they will accomplish! 3. I grew up in a town with less that 4,000 people, and I honestly loved it! Yes there is always the small town drama, but there is drama in the big city too, just less people with guns and knives in my opinion lol. We live out in the country and I can proudly say I can safely tan naked behind the wood pile if I choose to, can't get THAT living in the city!! (no this does not mean that everyone can come to my house and tan naked in my backyard, but if you do please let me know ahead of time be sure to grab the sunscreen in the bathroom drawer so you dont burn) 4. I love making quilts, I have made many MANY baby quilts for close friends and families, and have about 3 project quilts that I still need to finish. My grandmother is a quilter as well and it's a passion we share. When I visit her I usually have to take a 2nd suitcase because we go to a ton of quilt shows and fabric stores, and sometimes you just find that gem of a fabric that you may not have a plan for at the time, but it WILL be amazing down the road. 5. I love to bake, I have made a few baby shower cakes and birthday cakes with all homemade products, fondant, frosting, the cake itself, and it is really a passion of mine. The best part of making them from scratch is you can assure that it is a much healthier alternative to all the extra preservatives you find in pre-packaged foods these days. 6. Last but definitely not least, I am the proud mommy of 2 American Pitbull Terriers (pitbulls) who are the loves of my life. And even though we are descriminated against with insurances and just some society members, I wouldnt give them up for anything. They are the best/most loving/loyal dogs I have ever had. I would love to open a sanctuary for them in the area and be able to help train and give them to loving/responsible homes, but that's still in the process. (I have a location I have been eyeing up that would be perfect, so this makes it even more tempting, but we will see down the road)

I keep putting this off because I can't think of anything interesting but I'm going to do it anyways. 1. Until yesterday, I had never set foot outside of the U.S. (I am in Germany at the moment visiting friends for the first time!) 2. I get very addicted to things. Most things that I become interested in, I become addicted to for a short period of time, to the point where I'm sure it's worrisome. Some of these addictions have been The Beatles, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I never completely become unaddicted with any of these, they jut start to take up less time and I don't constantly look at/read/watch things about them. 3. I want to backpack through parts of Europe. I decided to come to Germany to sort of mark in time my finishing my associates degree. I'm hoping to go on a European trip when I've finished my bachelors in a couple years. I want to backpack through Greece, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland. Possibly Spain and France as well. 4. I love tattoos and I want more (I only have one) but I'm so picky about where I'd want to tattoo myself that I never end up getting more. 5. Swiss cheese creeps me out. I love to eat it, but I can't look at it. I don't know why but the holes in it actually creep me out to the point that I start shaking from nervousness. It's freaking weird. 6. I am obsessed with good Thai curry. I love red curry, I especially love prawn curry or chicken curry and I LOVE it hot! I usually only get level 3, because my digestion tract doesn't like it any hotter, but if that weren't stopping me, I'd gladly go up to level 4 and probably 5 if it were offered. Side note: Up until about 1 year ago I HATED spicy food. I just couldn't stand it, I had such a low tolerance.
