Happy Weekend!!! This post if kind of long overdue, my girl Sarah nominated me a while ago and I just kept putting it off. Then Abby gave me another nomination and I figured I should get on the bandwagon and join the fun. So first off thank you girls for the nomination!!
Here are the Rules:
- Write 11 random facts about yourself.
- Answer the 11 questions given by the person who nominated you.
- Create 11 new questions.
- Nominate 11 bloggers and mention them in your post.
- Thank the person that nominated you and tell the people you’ve nominated.

11 Random Facts About Myself:
- I used to hate chocolate. When I was younger I would pick the chocolate chips out of cookies.. Now, I love chocolate and eat it once a day.
- Most of the time I prefer salty over sweet. I’d rather have a bag of potato chips than a cookie for dessert.
- Even though I prefer salty over sweets most of the time, cupcakes are still a major weakness- I prefer vanilla with vanilla frosting
- I’ve already decided NOT to have a wedding cake, because I’m terrified of Jimmy smashing cake in my face. So, easy fix no cake, no feeding ceremony thing, no cake in my face!
- I enjoyed “planning” my wedding sooo much more before I actually had to start doing it for real… Can’t I just pin wedding things and it somehow magically all comes together on its own?
- I hate making decisions- It doesn’t even matter the situation- even when planning this wedding, I interview one vendor then move on because I hate having to decide on things
- I love taking bubble baths and take one almost every night after work, sometimes twice in one night
- When I was younger all of my friends got their belly buttons pierced, I felt the need to be different and got my eyebrow pierced. It fell out and now I have a scar on my eyebrow
- I absolutely HATE unloading the dishwasher. I’d actually rather hand wash all of my dished before having to unload an entire dishwasher just to put the dirty dishes in
- Speaking of unloading the dishwasher, I’ve now been waiting for Jimmy to unload it for two full days. I’ve had to hand wash all of my dishes and it’s starting to annoy me
- I don’t feel like I have any real talents, and I think it’s part to do with my ADD with hobbies- I get really into something just long enough to where I’m about to progress, then find something new that I love and move on. Kind of the reason I’m only slightly good at rock climbing, kayaking, snowboarding, running, gymnastics… Although this summer I plan to be a professional flying trapeze artist. I swear I will stick with this one!
Sarah’s Questions:
- What was your favorite television show growing up? What is it now?
- What is your dream job? If I knew what my dream job was, I’d probably be doing it. I can actually be the most driven person in the world- I just need something to drive for and I haven’t exactly figured that out yet.
- What movie could you watch over and over? I used to love Almost Famous and would watch it all the time. There isn’t really one movie that I watch over and over again nowadays, so we’ll just stick with that answer
- If you could have any super power, what would it be? Definitely to fly- it’s what I’ve wanted since I was little
- If you had to chose one food to eat every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pasta without a doubt

- Do you have any pets? What kinds? No, my mom has two doggies that I consider my own though
- Are you a morning or night person? Definitely morning
- Beer, wine or mixed drinks? Beer
I was obsessed with Full House when I was really little and then Party of Five was my favorite show when I was a little older. Now a days I don’t watch too much TV, but I still LOVE Friends and How I Met Your Mother

I’m now supposed to choose 11 other bloggers to nominate. The thing is I read A LOT of blogs and remember that “random fact” about not liking to make decisions. Guess what? That applies here as well. :) Instead I’ll just ask all of you to choose one or several of my questions and answer them below!

- What is one thing you’ve never done, but would love to try?
- Is there one person who knows absolutely everything about you? Who are they?
- What is your favorite color?

- Have you ever gone sky diving?
- What is one thing you would never ever do?
- Do you think I’m awesome?





so I used to hate chocolate, i still sort of do. the only chocolate I can tolerate is super dark chocolate. for some reason all chocolate candy just isn’t my thing, I will always choose gummy candy over it
OMG, I’m *obsessed* with Full House! I even wrote a college paper about it–my prof loved it!
OMG I can totally relate to # 9 on your random facts! I do the same thing. Now I have proof that I’m not the only one who does this.
And yes, coffee coffee coffee!!
I’m so glad your senses came around and you’re a chocolate lover now..
I’m sooo a night-person that it’s terrible!
No.3 – never been snowboarding..had the opportunity, but back out. grr.
No.5 – I have a best gf who knows A LOT, but not one person knows EVERYTHING. I’m pretty private.
No.11 – No. you’re Freakin’ awesome.
Yay-yuh! Better late than never! I love that your favorite show growing up was Full House. Same here! It was truly a sick obsession, really. Now, it’s New Girl and Modern Family. Phil Dunphy is my hero.
1. Sweet vs. Salty? A combo of both. =]
2. I’d travel to Ireland.
11. Yes. Duh!
I love snowboarding. My first date with my hubby he took me snowboarding, it was my first time to try it also. I’ve only been 3 x, so I’m very much still a beginner.
Fun post BTW!
Yay!! Thanks for the tag – 2 nominations obviously mean you’re a pretty awesome blogger!
I am so the opposite of you, sweet over salty any day. And vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting? Gahhh don’t do that to me girl! Craving officially set in. haha that’s so interesting that your love of wedding planning kind of changed once you actually had to. I’m excited for you, though!! What a fun step of life!
Of course I think you’re awesome, Julie!! No doubt about it! Have a fabulous day, girlie!
I would love to have a shopping spree in lululemon or Gap, specifically Gap Body. I love me my basics!!
Congrats on the Liebster!!
I’ve never snowboarded but I ski and LOVE it
Recently went to Stowe and it was amazing. I prefer sweet for sure. And you are awesome!
I LOOOOOOOVE chocolate, and my whole life, my sister claimed that she didn’t like it. I thought that she had to be making it up, because come on, it’s just plain crazy to not like chocolate. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I thought about it, and realized that it made absolutely no sense for her to pretend to not like chocolate. That pretty much blew my mind.
