11 Things About Me:

1. I grew up in Wahoo, Nebraska, town of about 3,500 people.  Now living in Kansas City.  I think I’ll always be a mid-west girl. 
2. Married to Jake for almost 5 years and I've loved every minute of it! 
3. I am not a fan of high-fives.  They confuse me and I never know how to give the proper high-five. 
4. You know those people that dress up in costumes to promote their business? Ya, they make me uncomfortable.  
5. I always laugh if I see someone fall or trip, after I make sure they are okay of course.....and in turn I fully expect to be laughed at when I fall or trip.     
6. I always volunteer to bring food for pot-lucks.  They are little pop-up holidays and should be enjoyed by all.  
7. Baking is very relaxing to me.  It’s very soothing after a long day.  
8. I hate folding whites, like socks and Jake’s under shirts.  They will sometimes stay in the laundry basket unfolded all week.
9. I drink way to much Diet Pepsi and can hardly ever pass up a fountain pop.  
10. I’m not good at making side dishes during the week.  I’ll make the main dish and just serve that.    
11. I love going home to see our doggie Henry.  He’s always so excited to see me and play.
