A little about me

I suppose I never really introduced myself, so I thought I'd share a few tidbits about me now:

• I'm 27 years old.
• I traveled to Russia a few summers ago on a mission trip.
• I love taking and developing pictures, and I hope to someday have my own dark room.
  
• I'm a bit of a picky eater.
• I can't stand the taste of coffee, although I do like the smell of it.
• I majored in English in school and worked on my university's newspaper.
• I've been published in a couple of magazines and a devotional.
• My husband is my best friend by far, and I'm really lucky to have him in my life.
  
• I love Mexican food.
• I like sunflowers and gerbera daisies.
• I used to cross stitch.
• I'm pretty much addicted to chocolate.
• I drink 11 to 14 cups of water each day. Before I got pregnant with my first daughter, however, I could easily go all day without drinking any water.
• I like jazz music.
• I've always wanted to be a mommy when I grew up.
• Sometimes I don't like being all grown up.
• I stay home all day with my girls, and it's the hardest "job" I've ever had. But it's by far the best too!
• I can't whistle.
• I don't own a television. However, I do watch movies on my laptop from time to time.
  
• I'm a little OCD about sanitizing everything that raw meat or eggs have touched.
• I like to play board games, especially Balderdash, Imaginiff, Settlers of Catan, Apples to Apples, and Taboo.
• I love entertaining people in my home.
• I'm a book worm.
  
• My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden.
• Someday I want to visit Ireland, Italy, and Greece.
  
• I started my own online magazine when I was 16.
• I met my first online friend when I was 18.
• I'm a bargain shopper and hate to pay full price for anything.
  
• I live in Southern California, where it's January and in the 70s.
