A Mini-Challenge

A while ago people were doing a 30 day photo challenge on Facebook. It was cool to get to know people a little bit better and see their creativity coming out, so I decided to give it a shot.

Day 1: A Picture of Yourself with 10 Facts


1) Those glasses were actually my cousin Matt's. And they were once sunglasses. And this is on his graduation day. He's one of the people I look up to most in my life.

2) Next to pierogis, my all-time favorite food is cheese. Oh, how I miss Wisconsin cheese curds and their delightful squeaking.

3) I absolutely cannot eat catfish. The way they look just freaks me out. Something that ugly cannot go in my mouth. Plus they eat mud, don't they? Ew.

4) I'd love to learn how to play guitar and piano someday...not necessarily in that order.

5) I have terrible storm anxiety, and night storms are when I hate being alone the most. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool that God's so powerful like that, but it literally makes me sick to my stomach when the thunder is rattling the windows. I have no idea why a sound scares me so much, but it's called brontophobia. I usually get out my iPod, put on my headphones, and crank the music to drown it out. And feel like a 3 year old the whole time.

6) If I had to choose between a night in with my family or a night out with my friends, most of the time I'd pick my family. They just get me. Most of the time. We go beyond bloodship, though -- we are also friends, and I treasure that. A lot.

7) I have a knack for being able to tie movie quotes or scenes into every day situations. It's a gift. I think it's genetic.

8) I don't regret many things, but many of the things I do revolve around not speaking my mind when I should have. I'm still working on standing up for what I believe in or for myself.

9) Someday I'd like to try Zumba. Who's with me?

10) I had a quote wall in every single dorm room I lived in, and I loved it. So many things would have been forgotten without those -- they were almost like a timeline that I could use to trace the great things that happened each year. I still love collecting quotes, but now I have a quote journal.

And there you have it, 10 things about me that you didn't know 10 minutes ago but you know now.

Find a good family at your school...
Storms aren't my favorite either. The house I lived in my first year of teaching had no siding on the back. When we would have a bad storm, a mom from my class would invite me over for dinner and to spend the night! That made the storms much easier! Hope that you're doing well and adjusting to everything new!
