2. I have social anxiety that has grown worse with age, but again, no one really believes me and I fake it real good-like.
3. Speaking of copying Grace, I also took this quiz and happened to end up in the exact same category as her. Though, I definitely don't agree that it's all correct for me (uh, soft spoken, no...).
4. I'm married to a medical student. Maybe people think I've struck gold because of this. They clearly have no idea what medical school/residency are like. I definitely struck gold with the guy, though!
5. I share a name with one of my best friends. We also work at the same company and hold the same position. It's weird and confusing and we not-so-secretly love it!
6. I am a Speech-language Pathologist for career, but dream of the day when I can stay home for a few years with many babies!
7. We are in the process of trying to have a family.
8. I had a missed miscarriage earlier this year and have struggled to get pregnant since. I'm feeling optimistic, though!
9. I wish I could read books in a hammock daily.
10. I love to cook, but only when I have ample energy and time. (Read: I'm doing well to cook 2x/week when working.)
11. I love love love eating out. Like whoa! Nothing makes me happier than dining at delicious, local eateries with amazing food and wine.
12. I have two rules for eating out: it must not be something that I can make for myself at home and it must not be a chain.
13. Unless it's Chipotle. I love Chipotle.
14. I have a love-thing for small/practical homes. I abhor unnecessarily large homes and excess in general. I recently learned that some neighborhoods have a minimum square footage requirement for people building (e.g., 2000 sq/ft) and and I find this appalling.
15. I also prefer very old homes to new. Though I understand why many people do not share this opinion.
16. I cannot stand lounging around on vacation. As a result, I can only be on a beach for about an afternoon. I need to be up, out, seeing, eating, drinking, and doing!
17. I once side-swiped a cop, lost control of my car, and ran headlong into a tree.
18. I was fine, the cop was fine, but the car wasn't.
19. The cop felt so bad for me(don't ask me why) that he only gave me a ticket for failure to yield instead of inattentive driving which saved me many hundreds of dollars.
20. Before I met Austin, I'd never camped before. I thought I'd hate it, but I'm straight-obsessed. Though I have a pretty low tolerance for any weather above 85 or below 40.
21. The best camping I've ever done was in Yellowstone.
22. Next I'd like to try backpacking. I need to reference miss Natalie for some tips!
23. Speaking of travel, Austin and I have a very lofty goal of seeing all 50 of the United States together.
24. We've only hit 10 thus far (we are med school poor, y'all), so we have a long LONG way to go.
25. I grew up in a family that was very tradition driven, especially around the holidays. As a result, I'm just a bit obsessed with having yearly traditions.
26. This tradition obsession most certainly played a role in my conversion to Catholicism.
27. I have two dogs and one cat. They make me legitimately happy every day and I cannot imagine not having pets.
28. I've never had a pizza that I didn't like. I could eat it every day and never satiate.
29. Even though my next birthday is 29, I am so excited to turn 30. I think I might be the only person who truly enjoys getting older.
Welp, there it is. My most narcissitic post to date!
