I received a couple blogger awards this month and thank the lovely ladies who tagged me in them! I have never done one of these but I do enjoy reading them on my favorite blogs so thought I would give it a shot. So here are 7 randoms things about me….
1.) I have a serious soft spot for anyone in the military (esp Marines) My dad was a Colonel and my brother is enlisted. I see the sacrafices they have had to make and its beyond admirable.
2.) I am super disciplined with my eating and have been for years! I am a health nut but when i get down on dessert..I GET DOWN 🙂 Cupcakes and ridiculously sweet treats are well worth the splurge in my book!
3.) I have experienced loss at a young age and think that has helped keep me grounded and put things into perspective for me.
4.) Ive lived in Orange County for 12+ years…but east coast is still “home” to me
5.) biggest pet peeve are people who treat others like they are above them. CANT STAND arrogance.
6.) I lived in Germany for 2 1/2 years and LOVED it!
7.) I got engaged at 24 and married when I was 25 (thats pretty unheard of in OC hahaha)
Hope you guys enjoyed this! Think I am supposed to pass it on to a few lovely bloggers (check out their blogs)……

Awww…THANK YOU so much for passing on this award to me :)) I agree with #5 completely!!! And Germany…i bet that was AMAZING. Enjoy the rest of your week. {{Hugs}}
Good to hear that you are disciplined with your eating & know that you work hard for your amazing figure. And yes, getting married in OC is pretty rare! Yay! Love <3 Lipstick & Ruffles…happens to be my sister 🙂 Her blog is AMAZING!
It was so nice to get to know you a little bit! One of my biggest pet peeves is arrogance as well. I can't stand it either! Thank you for passing it on Andee =)
Hi Andie!
I grew up in a military family as well ("army brat"), which led my family to live in Germany for about 2 years as well (kindergarten and 1st grade for me). I moved to CA in 2000 for college, but I'm originally from Maryland, and despite living in CA for all this time up until now, I still refer to MD as my home too. = ) Great to get to know you. Take care.
P.S. Any half-marathons planned for you in the future? I'm vigorously training as of late to lower my times in the half. Good luck if you are!

I love reading posts like this. I want to know more details about your eating habits, your body is insane.
Congrats. I'd love to spend time in Germany. It's always intrigued me.
I enjoyed reading this post 🙂 I was also engaged at 24 and married at 25. Pretty young for Canadian standard too
Congratulations! You definitely deserve the award! I got engaged at 24-married at 25 too…and you're right–totally unheard of in OC! Too funny!
