Ten things you might not know about me

Ahhh, Wednesday. The middle of the week and a day that seems to drag on. So here to brighten your day is a blip in the workday about me.

1. I take a bath every night.  It is a crazy part of my wind -down routine and something I inherited from my own mom.  I remember as a kid falling asleep to the bath water running, so I am pretty sure that is why it has become so routine. My college roommates can attest to this habit, for it has been around for years!!
2. I LOVE watersides.  And the month of July.  And Wisconsin Dells. And how they all go together!
3. My best friend and I met in 5th grade and have been friends since.  Our first born daughters are only 6 months apart and I am SO thankful to have a friend walking through the tween years with me!
4. I cross country skied competitively in high school.  Two of my toes got frostbite during one race my senior year, which is now why I dispose the cold and do not ski anymore!
5. The Minnesota State Fair is something I look forward to every year, and over the years I have trained my kids to do the same.  Since they were babies, I have been taking them. Every year our goal is to stay longer than the year before. We are up to 12 hours….
6. My husband and I met because he fell off a building.
7. In 8th grade I won first place at the Minnesota State Fair in a photo contest which I can thank to the igniting the beginning stages of my photography career (and another reason I probably love the State Fair!)
8. I do not like talking animal movies.  At all. Cartoons are ok, but those movies where they make dogs and pigs talk, that is just not my thing.
9. Before I went full time into photography, I taught preschool to 4 and 5 year olds.
10. I got married when I was 22 (yes, a mere baby!) and have no regrets!

Can you relate to any of these?  Drop me a comment so I know I’m not alone in my quirky traits!
