Today’s post is a bit out of the ordinary, but I thought it would be fun to share a few facts about me! I figured if nothing else, it may help you get to know me a little more beyond my routine posts’. I like knowing quirky things about people. It’s what makes us, us. So if you feel inclined, please do share your own little lesser known facts in a comment – I’d love to get to know a bit more about you too!
ONE
When I grow up (?) I want to own a nursery or try my hand at flower farming. As a child, I spent a lot of time in my grandmothers garden and seem to have inherited her green thumb. Hoping I didn’t just jinx myself there…
TWO
My husband and I met when were sixteen (read more, here). He was, and still is my truest friend, biggest supporter and the keeper of all my secrets.
THREE
I was born at 12:01 on the morning of January 2nd, beating New Year’s Day only by two minutes! And how crazy is it that my husband and I were born in the same hospital exactly three weeks apart?!
FOUR
My nickname is Stewie. My mother said it first in what “supposedly” was an attempt to describe me, saying I was a well simmered stew, a mixture of everything: Stewie. Those closest to me still call me Stew. Just as an added bonus, it earned itself a spot on the license plate of my first car (my mom’s idea… she’s cool like that, ha).
FIVE
I sleep with a small pink blanket every single night (like, every single night!) and have since I was little. It’s a well traveled little sucker and has seen London, Italy, Antigua, California, Colorado, Mexico, Aruba, Chicago, France, Anstradam and the list goes on.
SIX
When I was five I spent several weeks in the hospital after being bitten on the ankle by a Copperhead snake. According to my mom, they almost had to lance my calf.
SEVEN
I’ve been fired (TWICE). And guess what? It sucks for like, a few hours. I’m not sure what that says about me, but I have a really hard time doing things that I just don’t simple have a passion for.
EIGHT
I’m the only child and the only girl of 9 grandchildren. Being a tomboy really wasn’t an option and my love for outdoors, fishing and hiking, along with my daredevil-like ways probably come from a childhood of being, “one of the boys”.
NINE
I am really clumsy.
TEN
It may surprise you to learn that I’m a somewhat shy person. Crowds kind of give me anxiety and though I do love to travel (a lot), nothing makes me happier than being at home in the South with my family.
ELEVEN
xoxo -TR (or now that you’re part of the fam, Stew)
It’s so cool that your blanket has traveled the world with you!! It’s always cool to see what items people bring that can end up being so well-traveled! I loveloveloved learning more about you!!!
PS – that outfit is SO CUTE!!!
