10 random things about me

1. i'm really good at tetris. like pro status.

2. i am a second degree black belt. yeah...i know.

3. i know every word to most disney movies. i even hiked havasupai in high school with a big group of girls and they had me recite the emperor's new groove from start to finish to keep everyone entertained. true story. 

4. if i could have any job it would be working with marine animals. i'd kill to spend my days studying sharks. or living in an igloo and playing with penguins. 

5. brinner is one of my favorite meals ever! a perfect brinner would include french toast or blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon.

6. my perfect day would consist of me and hubsy going to antique/thrift stores all day long.

7. i went to school to be a sign language interpreter.

8. a totally random fear  i have is my fear of mannequins. i'm not even really sure why they freak me out so much. maybe i think they're going to come to life and grab me or something?  i don't even know but i can't walk past them without cringing and maintaining eye contact.

9. my dream vacation right now is to go to alaska and see the northern lights.

10. halloween is the best holiday of all time. the time, money and effort matt and i put into our costumes each year is ridiculous and awesome all at the same time!

"Nini" the nephews had a hard time saying the Ks in my name so i became Nini and it just kinda stuck. i even catch Matt calling me that sometimes.

1. what's one of your biggest pet peeves?
people that i don't know calling and not leaving a message. when i'm screening my calls and don't know who you are the polite thing to do would be to leave a message so i'm not wondering who you are. am i right??

love the way you look. love the way you are. love everything about you. and all that good stuff.
