So…Seven things about me!
1. I was the first female (and only one that I know of) to play baseball at my high school. My school didn’t have fast pitch softball, so I used Title IX and was able to play on the JV team. I did okay…got heckled a bit but it didn’t bother me!
2. I absolutely LOVE college football. My team is the Georgia Bulldogs. Although I didn’t go to UGA (I went to North Georgia College and State University), my school didn’t have a football team, and since my mom and brother went there, and I was also involved in 4-H, which is based at UGA, I claim them as my team. I make sure that I am in front of a television for all big games and can at least listen to the others. I’ll be scouting out a place to watch them take on Clemson in the opening game while I’m at Disneyland for the Dumbo Double Dare!
3. My husband and I didn’t like each other when we first met, but an attraction grew, and we’ve been together almost 8 years :)
4. I am looking to go back to school to obtain my teaching certificate in early childhood education. I want to eventually teach Physical Education in an elementary school and possibly coach softball or basketball.
5. I love to bake! My favorite thing to bake would have to be cupcakes. They’re easy to make, perfect individual servings, and decorating them is always a lot of fun. I got a ton of cupcake stuff for Christmas a couple of years ago.
6. For 4 summers while in college, I was a summer camp counselor at Rock Eagle 4-H Center and Wahsega
4-H Center. If I got paid what I do now to do that, I would make that my full time job in a heartbeat. It was so much fun running the high ropes course, climbing wall, herpetology lab, and so many other activities. 4-H was a huge part of my life and I have it to thank for so many opportunities I’ve had.
7. I love flip flops. I have somewhere around 8-10 pairs and wear them year round, even in the winter. I hate wearing shoes and socks, and even bring flip flops to races to change into! Sanuk is my favorite brand…check out their yoga mat flops…they are awesome!

Thank you so much for the nomination! and i love the part about your hubs! so cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! And you're welcome :)
DeleteThanks! My husband and I didn't like each other when we first met either. I love love Sanuk flip flops!
ReplyDeleteThey are the absolute best...I recommend them to everyone
DeleteHey Jen, thanks so much for the nomination!
ReplyDeleteI have a slight obsession with Sanuk right now, too. I love the yoga mat flip flops (although I've only been able to wear them once. haha!) but the Baja ones are my fav!!
I'll have to check out the Baja ones!
DeleteYay! Love your answers! I never knew you played baseball for your school!! That's SO neat!!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! It was pretty fun once the guys got over the initial shock that a girl was playing with them :)
DeleteCongrats on your nomination! You definitely are inspirational! I am totally with you on flip flops/sandals... The only shoes I really like being in is running sneakers. I hate wearing socks, so when I am at home I am always walking around barefoot (my fiance told me I am not allowed to complain about cold feet since I refuse to put socks on)!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! There are soooo many bloggers that I could have passed it on to. Your fiance' sounds like my husband :P
DeleteThank you! I will get on this ASAP!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! Looking forward to checking out your post :)
DeleteThanks for nominating me! I am a flip flop fan too and I also wear them during the winter. I love college football as well but you probably already know Auburn is my team. My best friend's Dad is a huge UGA fan and he would drive down to Auburn and take us to Athens during college for the AU vs. UGA games.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind Auburn except when UGA plays them :) It seems to always fall on my birthday weekend, too!
DeleteThanks for the nomination! I need to get with it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHaha no worries...it took me a month to get mine up!
DeleteBeing fit is important to all of us. Make sure that we are well and fit for our family. We should start focusing on our lives to better specially our health.
ReplyDeleteLos Angeles Athletic Club
Thank you so much for the shout out! And I played high school soccer with the boys. My teammates were awesome, but some other teams heckled me (and the three other girls who played with me on the boys' team). But it was totally worth it. Loved playing with them!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The other teams heckled me a bit but it didn't bother me :)
