Attempting my first linky party!!!

So, I LOVE reading all about other teachers and wanted to join in on Bloghopper's fun!!!



 So here are 10 random things about me....

1. I am totally obsessed with my sweet family! I married my high school sweetheart (we went to different high schools but met in youth group at church!) - he asked me to "couple up" in May 2001 and we have been together ever since! 
We got married in June 2008
and welcomed our beautiful daughter, Madison, in October 2010! 
God has beyond blessed me with these 2 perfect gifts! 

2. I am beginning my second year teaching (woohoo - I survived the scary first one!!) and love it! I know I am truly doing what God has created me too! My hubby is also a teacher. He is a high school football and baseball coach!! There is nothing better than football on a cool crisp fall weather Friday night in Texas!! (High school football really is it's own religion here 🏈) 

3. I am super lucky to have friendships that have lasted over 15 years! The friends I met as a teenager at church are STILL my best friends! 

4. I have slowly started becoming a workout nut! My teammate has instilled a passion for working out in me! It is a FAB stress reliever! 

5. I could literally eat Chick fil a and Gloria's every.single.day and be happy! The obsession I have for those 2 places is probably unhealthy! 😉

6. We have 1 dog, named Buddy, who is our second child. He is a lab/border collie mix. He is a HUGE baby though - def NOT the protective dog we were envisioning! (But he sure is cute!!) 

7. I would love to travel!! I have only been to Hawaii, Mexico, Florida, North Carolina and Colorado! I have a crazy long list of everywhere else I wanna go! 

8. Few of my favorite/must haves : Flip flops (especially my Nikes), chi straightener, anything glittery/blinged out (the gaudier the better!!!), sand volleyball, Dr. Pepper, sour patch watermelons, pedicures and my iPhone (I could NEVER live without it!!!)

9. Few things I hate : Wasps, spiders, super spicy food, the texture of sushi, feet touching me, when Coach responds "we'll see" - kills me!! ... and the worst = wooden spoons/spatulas! YUCK! 

10. Most importantly, I am a child of God!  I have a personal relationship with Jesus and am beyond grateful for the many blessings He has given me! 

...well that's a few random things about me! Link up too (it was pretty fun 😉)
