25 Things

So my friend, Leianna, had a post similar to this a couple days ago (here it is). And it inspired me to do one of my own. I'll give you fair warning, I'm not that interesting of a person. You might fall asleep. Without further adieu, I give you 25 things you may or may not know about me:


1. I am in a full-time, committed, overwhelmingly awesome relationship with Jesus. I'm constantly trying to pursue Him the way He pursues me. He's awesome, and I love Him and hope you know and love Him, too!


2.  I'm from Ash, North Carolina. Not Asheville. Not Asheboro. I get those all the time. It's a little coastal town in the middle of nowhere, and I love it.


3. I have a serious obsession with One Tree Hill and Scandal, in that order. They're definitely my guilty pleasures. 


4. I am head over heels in love with my boyfriend of two and a half years, Al Rising. He's a cutie - if you know him, you probably agree. Can't wait to spend an eternity with him!


5. I have a close-knit family of five - well six now since my sister got married (love my new bro, Harris)! We share a lot of laughter, fights, tears, and smiles. I wouldn't trade them for the world. I'll also add that my sisters are my two very best friends!


6. Friends. The thing about me is that if I have ever loved you and cared for you, I always will. So I have a lot of girls (and boys) I consider my best friends. My two closest friends are Lexi and Lilly. But if I love you and consider you a friend, you know it and this includes you!


7. I drive a cute little car named Lola. She's getting old though (226,000 miles old) - too attached to give her up yet.


8. I'd like to think I can sing, even though I know I can't. I belt out some Carrie Underwood songs and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" in my car from time to time.


9. I have a deep desire and passion for people who are hurting, lost, and in situations out of their control. I don't know what God has planned for this passion yet, but He gave it to me, so I know He has a plan for me to use it.


10. I genuinely love to write. My sister makes me write her boring college papers for her all the time, and I seriously love it. If you ever need something written, give me a call!


11. I love all things Disney. My new favorite is Frozen. If you haven't seen it, go rent it! It was seriously the best!


12. I love, love, LOVE the Spanish language. It's so beautiful. And I love the culture, too. I'm hoping to study abroad the summer of 2015 in Spain, if I get approval (I'm looking at you, Mom!) 


13. I had never flown in an airplane until last year on my 18th birthday - take me back to Mexico! Now, I have the travel bug. I just want to see the world... with my dear friend, Abigail, by my side (she has the travel bug, too).


14. I have a wonderful home church family - Jennies Branch is where it's at, and they're all SO loving! Go check it out if you're in the Ocean Isle Beach area! 


15. Speaking of church, I have made wonderful friendships with nine beautiful ladies who love God. My small group in Wilmington is my life saver. I always look forward to Monday nights. I love them all so much!


16. I love to listen to worship songs when I'm by myself and just praise God for everything He does for me!


17. I'm a mess most of the time - I hate cleaning up, I hate wearing makeup and fixing my hair, I hate wearing real clothes. I do it though, even if I despise it.


18. I have a slight obsession with wedding/engagement videos (howheasked.com), the perfect babies account on Instagram, and pictures of pug puppies.


19. One of my legs is actually significantly longer than the other one because I broke my growth plate when I was in 6th grade. It's a problem.


20. I don't study. Ever. 


21. I have developed a seriously bad habit - Ruzzle. I can't put my phone down because I'm always playing it... Thanks to my little sis, Lauren.


22. I'm a very introverted person. I tend to spend a lot of time thinking deeply about my life, who I am, how I got here, where I'm going, etc. I love to talk about my life and be open with people, though. I'm weird.


23. I love breakfast food. And Mexican. And pizza. Okay, so I just love food. 


24. Even if I'm not cold, I always have a blanket wrapped around me when I'm at home/the apartment. It makes me feel cozy.


25. When I grow up, I want to settle down back in Brunswick County. No matter what anyone says about it, it's beautiful and a piece of my heart will always be there.



Sorry all of those were long and wordy - see number 10. I can't help it! I hope you learned a little about me! Have a fabulous weekend, friends!
