5 Things About Me

1. I was the captain of my high school cheerleading squad AND a huge nerd. I definitely wasn't one of the "cool" kids but I was a pretty good cheerleader (even was voted "Most School Spirit" and "Most likely to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader" for Senior Choice Awards LOL). But instead of spending my weekends getting invited to parties and hanging out with the popular kids like one would expect of a cheerleader--I was either working at the movie theater or reading a book. Sound familiar? ;)
I also have ridiculously curly hair.
2. For an entire decade I read the entire Harry Potter series on a continuous loop so when I say I've read each of those books at least 100 times--I'm not exaggerating. I'm obsessed. I even have my own wand! When a UK reviewer compared my books to the Harry Potter series on Amazon, it totally made my year! Best compliment EVER.


3. My husband owns more shoes than I do. True story. I prefer to be barefoot.

4. I'm a total city girl when it comes to most things but I want to live on a farm. Some day it'll happen. Not a huge farm but we definitely want a bigger garden and chickens and ducks (we raised ducks last spring and the kids loved it!)

5.  Whenever anybody would ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always said something expected like a "teacher" or a "doctor" or a "Psychologist" BUT the only thing I ever wanted to do was be a writer and a stay at home mom. I didn't want to admit to either of those things though because I thought people would react negatively and I'm a people-pleaser at heart. Now I'm BOTH of those things and I'm the happiest girl in the world!
