Getting to Know You… June 13, 2008

Getting to know all about you!

Well actually, you are going to get to know me, but that’s not the song, now is it? I have seen quite a few people doing these “100 Things About Me” lists, so I thought it would be fun to take a crack at it.

Before I start, if you are reading this, please leave a comment. I would love to know who drops by and reads :)

Here goes nothing!

1. I was born in Fort Hood, Texas on May 1, 1990. I take pride in being a Texan :)

2. When I was just shy of being a year old, we moved to Anderson, South Carolina.

3. Just after I turned 3, we moved to Houston, Texas. This is where I start remembering more things.

4. Everytime we went to church in Houston (Champion Forest Baptist Church) I had to talk to a specific sign on the way. I had to say “ABCs I go to church, see you later, bye” Now, I don’t know why on earth I HAD to say that everytime we passed by this sign…or why I would say it…but I did. One Sunday morning my brother decided to distract me. A few minutes later I realized I didn’t get to talk to the sign and get very upset.

5. I have a brother, Nicholas, who is four years older than me. That makes him 22. He is pretty much awesome and the best brother ever.

6. Moving time again! How old was I…ah yes. 4. We moved to Manhattan! Haha…Manhattan, Kansas. BRR!!

7. Kansas can also be hot. So don’t walk to the park without shoes on! One year the temperature spanned from -15 that winter…to 115 that summer. My brother and I wrote our initials in some wet cement on the road behind our house. So if you ever go to Manhattan, Kansas (haha) be sure to watch the streets for “NS and AS ’95″.

8. We moved again…to Ft. Riley, Kansas.

9. Oh don’t think we’ve settled down yet, because we’re moving to Illinois now. Belleville, to be exact. We were waiting on military housing again. Yay.

10. Illinois has got to be my favorite place we’ve lived. Good times.

11. Then we finally moved to Alabama. I was not excited about that. And I was not excited about moving to Kansas, either. Or Illinois, come to think of it. Ok. I just never liked the actual moving process.

12. I still, to this day, cannot stand the sound of packing tape being ripped off the roll.

13. So, I moved 9 times in 9 years.

14. I’m an Army brat…if you haven’t figured that out already.

15. Although I hated the act of moving, I loved being in new places.

16. I became a Christian when I was 7.

17. I asked Jesus into my heart when I was 3. And didn’t understand why He wasn’t coming. So I asked again. OBVIOUSLY I didn’t understand…

18. I LOVE VBS. But I am not doing it this year :(

19. I am left handed.

20. My middle name is Diane.

21. My hair smells good at the moment.
