My 26th Birthday – 26 Things About Me

Advertisements

Happy Friday friends! It’s a special Friday for me because it’s my 26thbirthday! I can’t believe that I’m 26 already, it seems like just yesterday I was heading into my freshman year of college. I never would have dreamed that I would be where I am today. This year was a complete whirlwind for me and has been the best year of my life. I got engaged, went to Scotland, Boston, Savannah, and Charlestown, Puerto Rico, started a new job, and Jon and I moved into our first apartment together. As amazing as my 25thyear has been, I can only imagine that my 26thyear will be even better because I’m getting married and spending my honeymoon in Itlay!

Last year I shared 25 life lessons, and this year I thought it would be fun to share 26 random things about me. I tried to be creative, but it’s not easy!

  1. I pass out when I see blood – I’m not joking – and I have to look away from show/movies where there is blood or anything gory
  2. My favorite dessert is ice cream
  3. My future golden retriever will be named Finley
  4. My favorite book is The Rhythm of Life
  5. My dream job is to be a travel blogger
  6. I’ve been to four countries: Canada, Dominican Republic, Greece, and Scotland
  7. I have terrible depth perception and run into things all the time
  8. If you ask me if I’ve seen a movie, I probably haven’t, I’m very movie deprived, especially the classics
  9. My go-to order at a restaurant is salmon
  10. I dream of going on a yoga retreat one day
  11. I’m incredibly one track minded
  12. Chardonnay is my favorite thing to drink besides water and coffee
  13. I have a terrible habit of leaving drawers and cabinets open
  14. I wait until basically the very last day to return things
  15. My biggest dream in life is to start a family including my fur child Finley
  16. My favorite place I’ve ever been to is Santorini, Greece – it’s so surreal how beautiful it is there
  17. My favorite flavor of ice cream is Cookies’N’Cream and salted caramel
  18. NYC used to be the last place I wanted to live before I started dating Jon but it’s grown on me
  19. I love going out for coffee in the morning – I can’t have caffeine in the afternoon or I’ll be up all night!
  20. I’ve been wanting to have a blog since I was in college
  21. My bucket list travel destination is Australia, I want to hold a koala bear so bad! If only the flight was shorter!
  22. I don’t like surprises at all
  23. I make a lot of sound effects when I talk – I had no idea I did this until my friends at work pointed it out.
  24. I bring my pillow with me wherever I go – even to Greece and Scotland
  25. I have recurring nightmares about my phone getting water damage and breaking
  26. I can get sunburned in the backseat of a car 👻

I hope you all have a great day, I’ll be enjoying my birthday playing golf and spending time with my family. See you guys on Monday 🙂
