Everyone seems to be sending me these 25 Random Facts surveys on facebook lately, so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon. I realized that I'm a pretty boring person and had a really hard time coming up with facts that you folks that know me aren't already aware of. Here goes...
1. I hate the sound of fingernails being clipped. It literally makes me kind of gag.
2. I love flip-flops – so much that I wore them on my wedding day. (I got the chunkier ones that looked a little classier at least)
3. I had an extremely strong dislike for my husband (and I told him so too!) for an entire year before we started dating and fell in love. Now I’m the happiest wife I know and fall more in love with him every day.
4. My brother is a rock star in California and was recently nominated for a world music award.
5. My heart was broken in two once when I visited an orphanage in Thailand and saw a little girl with her “pet” cockroach that she was kissing, petting and completely attached to.
6. I love coffee so much that I roast my own beans in an air popper.
7. I’m extremely indecisive and completely stress out about the little decisions (like what to order at Starbucks) but have no problems with the big ones (like if I should quit my job and move across the country to plant a church).
8. I’m very claustrophobic and especially hate it if my head is crowded or covered.
9. I’m blessed to have not just 2, but 3 sets of grandparents (one of the perks of coming from a broken family) that are all my heroes in different ways. I honestly believe that I have the best grandparents ever and wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for the impact they’ve had on my life.
10. My hair was jet black until I was 2 and then was bleach blonde up until my mid 20’s. Now I’m turning into more of a brunette with every passing year. (must be part of my indecisive nature!) :)
11. I hate shaving my legs and only do it if I am going to wear a skirt of shorts – which is rare occasion.
12. I have never spent more than 2 weeks apart from my best friend Missy in the last 10 years – up until last fall when I moved to Madison. Now my heart hurts every single day because I miss her so much.
13. I’m extremely frugal and am constantly looking for ways to save money.
14. Going to rodeos is perhaps my favorite thing in the entire world. I love them so much that not only did Steve propose to me at a rodeo, but I refuse to go home and visit my family unless it’s in August when the Northwest Montana Fair is coming to town so we can check out a REAL rodeo!
15. For some reason I just love Hello Kitty
16. In the last 11 years I have moved to 3 different states with 2 of the same friends every time. Including our most recent move to WI, these 2 friends have been a constant (to bad we're not characters on Lost) wherever I go. I guess I’m stalking them because no matter where they move to I’m always just a few streets away. Now I’m here in Madison waiting for them to sell their house in St. Louis so they can get up here and continue on with our tradition already!
17. Love for popcorn has been handed down from my ancestors. On any given night I can almost guarantee that out of my mom, grandma or myself on of us is eating popcorn for dinner.
18. Some of my favorite memories as a child were sanding down the old classic cars that my grandpa Quick restored or going on cattle drives with my grandpa Pederson.
19. Most of my dearest friends live far away and I don’t talk to them as often as I’d like, but I miss them terribly and think about them every single day. Proof that out of sight really isn’t out of mind after all!
20. I once hitchhiked in Brazil and got put picked up by a truck that was transporting highly flammable material. I rode in the back of the truck for a good hour sitting on top of a propane tank.
21. Since I was 9 years old I’ve had what the doctors call “chronic hives” that come and go a few times a day. I’ve been to all kind of doctors and nobody can figure out what I’m allergic to. When I moved to Madison 5 months ago my hives all of the sudden decided to go away.
22. I’ve been told that my brother and I have the same exact eyes and smile and I guess I’m okay with that. I like my brother and I absolutely LOVE his wife. She has got to be one of the nicest people in the entire world.
23. I absolutely hate talking on the phone, but email is practically my bff.
24. The older I get the more I’m really starting to realize who I am. It seems like a cry a whole lot more to.
25. Germany is by far my favorite country ever and if I could live anywhere I would probably move there. You can’t go wrong with good beer, great culture and really nice people!

That's cool- if we ever do travel in time we can be each other's constants.. I love it!
Roasting coffee beans in an air popper? How cool is that!
