7 Random Facts About Me

1. I consider myself a pretty athletic person, but I have a really hard time running long distances.  I feel like I have 0% lung capacity, I am totally winded after about 20-30 minutes of running. 

2. I lost 30 lbs after my freshman year of college with the South Beach Diet, and the help of my dad!  I was a lifeguard that summer and I borrowed a south beach book from my neighbor, and my dad would follow the meal plan and make my lunches and dinners everyday. I am so very thankful for his help, and all of his love.  He really changed my life :)

3. Similar to my friend Caroline, I was a fast-pitch softball pitcher for 14 years, therefore my right bicep is larger than my left.  Everyone calls it my “Man arm”, unlike Caroline I don’t think my arms will ever be the same size.

4. I love watching NASCAR races.  I don’t really know why, but I enjoy watching them.  I went to my first race about 4 years ago, and it was awesome.  I would love to go to Talladega, or to Indy.

5.  When I was younger, and really up until 2 years ago, I was terrified of dogs!  When my cousin and I were little we were both bit by a Dalmatian and since then I have been terrified of dogs; that is until I met Sean and Brandy’s dog Dolly, and fell in love with one of her puppies Ella!

6. I hate seafood.  I think it smells funny, and I won’t eat it.  I have gotten better though, I used to not be able to be in the same room as any sort of seafood without feeling sick, but now I just don’t eat it.  I will on occasion eat salmon, tilapia, and crab meat (only in crab dip), trust me I have come a long way.

7. I recently started couponing and I love it! I guess this fact isn’t really random since I talk about it all the time, but it is really hard to think of random facts that people will care about. haha.

Thanks again Caddie!!!
