{29 things...}

1. I think the coast of Oregon is romantic.

2. When my dad and I want to say “I love you”, we squeeze the other’s hands three times. This has been our thing ever since I can remember.

3. I’m addicted to Red Lobster’s Cheesy “Better-bay” Biscuits.

4. I’ve kissed a full-grown tiger on the nose.

5. In almost all of my nightmares, I will, at one time or another, end up at my Grandma Dixon’s house. I have no idea why. I have only fond memories there.

6. I think Jennifer Garner is hot.

7. I think real-life murder mysteries are fascinating.

8. I shop at D.I. at least once a week.

9. I can still name all of my Cabbage Patch Kid dolls. I was a good little pretend mommy.

10. I am obsessed with the 1930s, and continue to wish I lived during that era for the fashion alone. On occasion, I wear red lipstick and pearls just so I can pretend.

11. It bothers me a great deal if Jared and I go to church without our clothes being color coordinated.

12. The smell of dog food nauseates me.

13. I love foggy weather.

14. My cousins and I used to ride our pillow cases down the stairs, sometimes two and three kids in a pillow case at a time....until someone got hurt.

15. I can eat an entire bag of chips in one setting. A big bag, mind you.

16. Jared and I have an almost identical sense of humor. On any occasion, we can nearly make ourselves cry with laughter. Ridiculous.

17. I still sleep with my childhood blanket.

18. I’ve mooned most of my family.

19. I tend to laugh uncontrollably when people fall down. For this reason alone, America's Funniest Home Videos never fails to put me in a great mood.

20. When my ears get poked, I’m thrown into a coughing fit. Unexplainable.

21. I get dizzy when I look at the stars.

22. I think Robert Pattinson looks nothing like Edward Cullen.

23. When Jared snores, I kick him until he rolls over.

24. I love going to Costco and buying things in bulk. It makes me feel grown up.

25. I remain undoubtedly in love with Chris Carrabba.

26. Someday I will own a piece of property with an old, leaning red barn on it.

27. My favorite line from Dumb and Dumber: “Harry, I took care of it”.

28. I think rhyming poetry is silly. Mostly.

29. I inherited a Valentine’s Day card that my great-grandfather Melvin sent to my great-grandma when he was fighting in WWII. He was shot and killed shortly after by the German army in Italy in 1944.
