Today is my 28th birthday – wahoo! I thought it would be fun to share 28 things about me that you might not know. I’m pretty much an open book, so I feel like a lot of these things are well known, but I could surprise you! I am actually writing this from Cabo while on a vacation with my husband (you can read my travel guide here). Is there any better way to spend a birthday?!
- I was born and raised in San Diego.
- My second daughter was born in the same hospital I was and my kids have the same pediatrician I did as a child.
- I played lacrosse in high school. I got into the sport because I really wanted to wear the skirts. I also did dance my first two years.
- I was Junior and Senior class vice president – I am planning our 10 year reunion, holy cow!
- I went to San Diego State University and have degrees in Urban Studies and Economics.
- I actually started off college as a civil engineering major but switched after the second year.
- I was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority at SDSU.
- I always knew I wanted to get married and have kids young.
- My husband and I met when I was 20, got engaged at 21, got married at 22, and I had my first baby at 23.
- We were engaged for 18 months because I wanted to wait until I finished college.
- My husband is almost ten years older then me.
- We are complete opposites, my husband is a tatted up rock drummer from the midwest and I am a blonde beach lover who listens to country music. It works for us!
- I am a huge country music fan. My grandparents are from Texas and I grew up listening to it.
- I am definitely a glass half full type of person.
- My favorite color is grey. I tend to shy away from bright colors both in my home decor and clothing options.
- I love to sleep! I am neither a morning person or a night owl.
- The beach really is my happy place! There is nothing more calming or therapeutic to me than relaxing by the ocean.
- I could eat Mexican food every. single. day.
- I have a huge sweet tooth – my favorite treat is a strawberry milkshake!
- I don’t eat any type of seafood.
- I love nectarines. I could eat those every day too.
- I have an obnoxiously large swimsuit collection and I keep buying more. Always on the hunt for the perfect one.
- Yes, this is my natural hair.
- Traveling is by far my favorite thing to do. I love learning about different cultures and exploring new places. I would much rather spend money on a trip then a fashion item.
- My mom and I traveled all over Europe when I graduated from high school. It was amazing and I hope to go back one day when my kids are a little older.
- My four year old has already been to four different countries (wish it was in Europe tho too!)
- My mom is my best friend. For real tho.. we text all day everyday, we share clothes and she is a huge help with my babies.
- I truly feel like I was put on this earth to be a mommy. I would have 10 kids if my husband was up for it!
I also want to take a moment to express my love and gratitude for all of the support you guys have shown me over the past few months as I started this blog. It is YOU guys (my readers and followers) who inspire me to continue to do what I do. I read every single message and comment and love building relationships with you guys along the way. Thank you for interacting with me and helping to make my dream of being a blogger come true. Cheers to 28 and achieving many more dreams with you guys by my side!
