On one of my old blogs I use to have a meet me Friday post every so often to remind readers of who I was. And let’s be honest, as mom’s our lives change a lot. I always wanted to keep readers up to date with who I was! Let’s start these again! And of course you can always read about me on my Who am I page.
I know I talk about myself in my blog posts, but there’s a lot I don’t talk about too. There’s also a lot of things I love in life, that would totally explain a lot about me!
My husband and I met in high school, but never dated.
I was a competitive gymnast growing up, age 8 until I got to high school. I was also a dancer and danced on our studios company team. In high school, I was on the gymnastics team (given, duh), cheered, and played girls soccer my junior and senior year.
Hobbies, more like wasting time
I’m not a big movie person, I always feel like I could be doing something else during that time. However, I love “Sweet Home Alabama”, the “Harry Potter” series and “Hunger Games” series.
I LOVE Gilmore girls and Friends and have passed my love on to my girls. We have inside jokes from the series and have watched the entire series of both shows numerous times. I believe Loralie Gilmore is my spirit animal.
I LOVE college football! I love for Saturdays in the fall. I will purposely change my plans so I can watch a good game. We have held season tickets to our favorite school more years then I will ever know.
Just a small town girl
My best friend and I met when we were in Kindergarten together. We’ve been friends ever since, still are and only live about 2 minutes from each other. Our kids are now best of friends and our husbands actually like each other (they hang out without us).
I have lived in the same town my whole life; live around the corner from my parents in the same neighborhood I grew up in. I taught at the high school my husband and I met at, our oldest graduated from along with my parents and many family members did.
I hate to workout! I feel like it’s a job. I will do yoga every now and then, I enjoy it, but I don’t schedule workouts. I will walk with friends, but mainly because we talk the whole time! I have trained for races several times in my adult life, but only really because I need to lose weight! I love intermittent dieting though and have found it keeps my weight down.
Food, no thanks just coffee (and ice cream)
I am a vegetarian. I don’t like meat, never really have. I don’t cook meat anymore either. My kids are happy with soy and now eat that when I cook. I LOVE pasta and would eat it every night if I could.
I am totally not a foodie. I eat because I have to, not because I want to.
I LOVE ice cream! In fact, during the summer, my kids and I will get ice cream on the way home from the beach, and that’s our dinner (dairy and fruit!). I eat it almost every night while watching TV. And I’m afraid I have passed my love of ice cream on to my kids.
And we can’t forget about my love of coffee. Everyone knows it’s my life. Starbucks, at home, black coffee, lattes, frappaccinos; it doesn’t matter I love it all!
I love it all!
I LOVE the beach. I have since I was little! My husband and I got married on the beach. I will take my kids to the beach everyday during the summer if I could. We live within 45 minutes of 6 different beaches.
I may love the beach, but I also love the mountains and fall crisp air. If there was a beach in the mountains that would be my happy place.
