If You Really Knew Me...

If you really knew me, you'd know these little facts about me:

1. I absolutely LOVE the sun. Laying out at the beach, the pool, the backyard. Walking down the street with the warm sun shining down on me. It's a beautiful thing, really? I often wonder why I live in such a sun-less state... time for a move maybe?
2. I really love BYU. I love the cougars. I LOVED my time in college at BYU. Such a fun place to play learn. :) I made such good friends there and even found Ryan. How bout that?!
3. I have a secret desire to learn how to play the piano--well.
4. I love eating gyros. They are so delicious and I could eat them pretty much any time. Ever since I first discovered them (which I cannot even remember my very first gyro) I have been hooked! These are so good that I even had them at my pre-wedding dinner. And let me tell you, YUM!
5. I absolutely LOVE going to weddings. I love to go to people's receptions and see how everything is decorated, their cake, their flowers, their centerpieces, their dress, their bridesmaid's dresses, their hair, their jewelry, their ring, should I go on? I love wedding planning. I love looking for wedding dresses. I pretty much love all things wedding! Perhaps I should consider a career in this area.
6. My dream job is to stay home with children. I really went to nursing school so I could be a better mother. I wanted to know what to do when the fevers, bumps, and bruises come along. I was so glad that I was a nurse when we had Olivia. I liked knowing what was going on and what our options were. I feel strongly that my education was very important for my family, but I don't necessarily want to work in the hospital forever.
7. I love shoes
8. I really hate the rain. I mean loathe. I'd actually rather have it snow than rain *gasp!* I hate having to have an umbrella, have my hair poof up all crazy, and getting my feet wet. The only time I've actually not cared about the rain was on my wedding day. Ironic, huh?
9. I would love to go to the Greek Isles. I want to take a trip and go around to each of the islands for a couple of days, experience the culture, eat some delicious food (see #4), ride scooters around, etc. The only thing that keeps me from going is that I'm kinda scared that I have made it sound so glorious that it will actually let me down. I'm scared the water will be way too cold, the sun won't shine enough (see #1) and I won't be able to find all the fun culture stuff!
10. I love Nordstrom--I also notice everytime someone calls it NordstromS. I don't correct people because that might make it sound like I'm OCD but it does actually bug me.
11. I love babies. Newborns are the best.
12. I like to read and I'm always looking for a new book to read.
13. I still have dreams (nightmares?) about high school and forgetting to do my homework or not being able to find my class so I can turn in my homework. I also find it weird that I am more stressed about high school in my subconcious than college.
14. I make cookies solely for the cookie dough. Rarely do I eat more than a couple of actual cookies. I end up making about 2 dozen and freezing the rest of the cookie dough to eat later. It's a great treat!
15. I love vacations. Big or small.
16. I love laying in bed in the morning, not having to get up for anything, but just laying there awake having a nice conversation. (I also love doing this at night before I go to bed)
17. I love chick flicks.
18. I wish I could be blonde. Even when I dye my hair blonde, it never turns out the color I envision in my head. One day, maybe but until then, I'll have to settle with being brunette.
19. I love playing games and I am highly competitive.
20. Family is the most important thing to me. It comes before pretty much everything else.
21. I'm obsessed with Gilmore Girls. I've probably seen every episode somewhere between 20-30 times each. I know, I'm obsessed, but every time I watch it, it just keeps getting better and better!

For those of you who really know me, what else am I missing? Anything on my list surprise you?
