You may have seen this post floating around the blog-o-sphere as of late and one of my blog pals, Owen, posted about it a few weeks ago. Naturally, I had to join in on the fun! I always love learning more about my favorite bloggers and who doesn’t love finding out weird and interesting facts?!? So today, I’ll be telling you 20 things you may (or may not) have known about moi. And PS. If you love Nordstrom (uhh… who doesn’t??), then you’ll definitely want to make it to the bottom of this post. Just saying!
1. I have never broken a bone (knock on wood!)
2. I’ve been skydiving and it was pretty much the scariest/most awesome experience ever!!
3. I despise cleaning the bathtub. I’d pretty much rather clean anything else in the house.
4. I’m not that great of a chef or baker, but occasionally will whip up a new recipe. I can make a mean breakfast though!
5. I was born in Moscow, Russia but have never been back there or anywhere else in Europe. It’s on my to-do list!
6. I have never lived alone and always prefer to be around people.
7. If I didn’t get into PA school, my backup career path was healthcare administration.
8. I’ve never had braces- no metal mouth here!
9. A few years ago, Ryan & I won “The Diamond Dash” scavenger hunt in uptown Charlotte. We ran over 9 miles in 2 hours and left with a $15,000 ring (which we then sold… for much less haha).
10. I made the varsity cheerleading squad as a freshman in high school and became captain my senior year, but didn’t make college tryouts at UNCC (which actually worked out since my sorority was a much better fit for me!)
11. I don’t want to have kids until I’m around 30. Until then I’ll be starting my career, getting married, moving to a bigger condo/house, and doing lots & lots of traveling!
12. I was Historian of my sorority, meaning that I was in charge of our website, scrapbook, and newsletters (good blog prep, don’t you think?)
13. I’d much rather watch a movie than read a book any day. Maybe this will change after school when I can actually have time to read for leisure.
14. I used to hate blue cheese but now I want it on EVERYTHING!
15. I love scary movies (especially the bloody/gory ones), candy corn, and apple cider. And Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays!
16. In high school, I was obsessed with Zelda Ocarina of Time. I even printed out the cheat codes so I could beat the stupid game. #nerdstatus
17. I’m not good at painting anyone else’s nails… just my own.
18. I have seen Lil Wayne in concert twice. He’s actually very good believe it or not!
19. I’ve met Flo Rida, Dierks Bentley, and Adam Levine.
20. I sleep like a rock, one of my best qualities for sure.

That is so awesome that you won the Diamond Dash! Also, sounds like you had a really fitting job with your sorority!
I've never broken a bone either!! Definitely knock on wood after saying that though, haha. And as for cleaning the bathtub/shower… I just don't do it. It's so terrible but I despiseeee it!! Great giveaway, too!
OMG I hate cleaning the bathtub/shower too. The worst. And I've never lived alone either although I don't mind being alone…sometimes haha! And dang girl, 9 miles?! Wow! I would have sold the ring too, even if it was for less!

Stay true to #11. No need to rush. Hubs and I were married 10 years before we had our daughter. I'm in the healthcare field as well. Loved your list and getting to know you better!
loved learning more about you!! that scavenger hunt sounds awesome, and a smart move to sell it!! and that's hilarious about lil wayne, I was obsessed with him in high school [woops].
I'm 100% the same way with blue cheese I used to hate it but now I love it!! I sleep like a rock too – love sleep! 🙂 xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Loved this! Love getting to know more about you! The Diamond Dash thing is so super cool!
So jealous you have met Adam Levine… and I am the same with sleep. If I don't get 8-9 hours, I am miserable! xoxo
You are too cute! I love learning more about you! Plus I'm crazy jelly you've seen Lil Wayne twice- I love him!
First time commenter– I am so with you, I despise cleaning the bathtub! I can't figure out the right angle to actually clean it so I get uncomfortable quickly! Love these posts and learning more about bloggers!
I also hate cleaning the bathtub – I'm always looking for an easier way to do it! I need a self-cleaning bathtub and I would be a happy camper.
Such a fun post! Love this — and the Diamond Dash?! So fun! YES to a dinner date soon! I'll email you!

I love posts like this, always so fun learning about bloggers. I've never broken a bone either, and I'm terrified to!
So cute! I have also never broken a bone and totally only good at painting my own nails! 🙂 Loved learning more! XO

Jealous that you sleep like a rock, I'd love to be able to sleep through the night more. And I've never broken a bone either *knock on wood*. Love this post, so much fun learning more about you 🙂
I have also never broken a bone – *knock on wood*.
I went right from my parents' house, at age 22, to moving in with my husband when we were engaged. I don't think everyone has to live alone
I loved learning a little bit more about you – so neat that you were born in Russia, so funny that you guys won that ring then sold it, ha! and I love hearing sorority stories – I was recruitment director and president of mine 🙂
haha twinning on so much of this. I am not a great cook and I DO NOT want to rush "starting a family." Love posts like this, though. It's always so fun to see the "real" side of bloggers.

LOVE this. I've never broken a bone. But I have also never seen Lil Wayne in concert and I love him …. ha! And how'd you meet all those awesome celebs?!! Such a fun post to read :). Xx.
I HATE cleaning the shower and bath tub. Seriously, my least favorite chore too! I didn't know you cheered. And that's awesome about you and Ryan and the diamond dash! I loved learning more about you! xo
