OF THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME:

i don't like the beach. (give me a river to jump into, or a lake to swim in, & i'm good!)

one of my favorite things in life is when i reach into my purse & grab exactly what i was looking for.
i love pie. don't like cake.
i have never found a pair of sunglasses that my eyelashes don't hit, so i rarely wear them.
i've bitten my nails since i have had teeth and nails, & it is the one habit i can't seem to break.
i love traditions: husband and i come up with new ones all the time. i still refuse to look at the tree with presents underneath it until Christmas morning.
i cant go a day with out some sort of chocolate. (sometimes i make brownies just to eat the batter)
i love all things with stripes on them: clothing, blankets, rugs, everything.
and turquoise, my absolute favorite color is turquoise. (the shade that is light in color & slightly on the green side)
i could spend a whole day, more like a week... in Ikea.
i can hold a handstand longer than a minute. and still do double fulls on floor.
pete and i already have our future childrens' names & middle names picked out. 
i am named after my dad's sister Betty Ann.
i used to have a huge vein under my left eye that i had laser removed before college.
a dream of mine is to own a VW convertible bug one day.
i would love to work in a book store out in California, or open up an ice cream store!
i HATE guys in jean shorts. absolute deal breaker.
i never wear my own socks. i steal husband's & he hates it.
i love wrapping paper. i buy it all year round even though i rarely have gifts to wrap.
i studied abroad in Australia my junior year of college & it still is one of the top experiences of my life.
there is a board on my pinterest completely dedicated to macarons. (but i have never tried one!)
i can recite every single line from every Lord of the Rings... extended editions.
Cinnabon is my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor.
i lay awake at night for hours interior decorating our future condo in my head. it's an obsession and i'm glad i married someone who lets me decorate how i like :)
and you probably already know this, but i love pete. and kairos & leo. and toby my jeep.
