It’s My Birthday: 28 Things About Me

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?!

  1. I was born and raised in San Diego.
  2. My second daughter was born in the same hospital I was and my kids have the same pediatrician I did as a child.
  3. 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.
  4. I was Junior and Senior class vice president – I am planning our 10 year reunion, holy cow!
  5. I went to San Diego State University and have degrees in Urban Studies and Economics.
  6. I actually started off college as a civil engineering major but switched after the second year.
  7. I was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority at SDSU.
  8. I always knew I wanted to get married and have kids young.
  9. 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.
  10. We were engaged for 18 months because I wanted to wait until I finished college.
  11.  My husband is almost ten years older then me.
  12. 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!
  13. I am a huge country music fan. My grandparents are from Texas and I grew up listening to it.
  14. I am definitely a glass half full type of person.
  15. My favorite color is grey. I tend to shy away from bright colors both in my home decor and clothing options.
  16. I love to sleep! I am neither a morning person or a night owl.
  17. The beach really is my happy place! There is nothing more calming or therapeutic to me than relaxing by the ocean.
  18. I could eat Mexican food every. single. day.
  19. I have a huge sweet tooth – my favorite treat is a strawberry milkshake!
  20. I don’t eat any type of seafood.
  21. I love nectarines. I could eat those every day too.
  22. I have an obnoxiously large swimsuit collection and I keep buying more. Always on the hunt for the perfect one.
  23. Yes, this is my natural hair.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. My four year old has already been to four different countries (wish it was in Europe tho too!)
  27. 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.
  28. 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!
