My sister Shawna tagged me for this one - it's a lot of fun (and sometimes embarassing) - 25 Things you may not know about me. It took a while, but it was a blast! Dominoe, Sara, Chelsea and Katie - TAG, YOU'RE IT!
1. I'm obsessed with Europe, Italy inparticular, but if I could go anywhere in the world tomorrow, I'd jet off to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and go on safari.
2. I changed my college major 5 times - loved what I ended up with, despite the fact that I'm not exactly using my degree!
3. I could literally eat focaccia bread dipped in EVOO and balsamic vinegar for every meal, every day for the rest of my life.
4. Most of you know that I LOVED Andre Agassi when I was growing up, and he was basically my tennis hero. BUT . . . you may not know that I actually kept a scrapbook of articles (and really great photos) of Andre from Tennis Magazine.
5. Most of you know that I am pretty attatched to being with my family during the holidays, but did you know that I actually quit a job the day after I had accepted it because I could not get over the fact that I'd have to work a couple shifts during Christmas break - HA! It was at a copy center on BYU campus. Good thing I've grown up (not much), but a bit since then :)
6. I'm obsessed with coats and jackets - can't get enough of them! This is one of my latest obsessions (but in red)!
7. I love to read - especially classic literature - but I have a problem remembering the endings.
8. Our apartment is located above a Ben & Jerry's - you'd think that would be a major problem considering my ability to inhale ice cream - But we've only been there twice since moving here a year ago.
9. I took dance classes from age 3 to 12 - I know that's shocking to those of you who have actually seen me attempt to dance!
10. I love to teach people how to do new things - piano, tennis, rockclimbing . . . but my favorite has been snowboarding. I've taken many people up for their first time, and only one came home with a concussion (sorry Dad!)
11. I love to find little known artists and songs that I love, but my major resource for the finding is only mostly embarassing!
12. Sometimes when Chris and I aren't doing anything we like to wander around Sam's Club - pretty exciting, isn't it!
13. I'm usually very organized, and everything in our apartment is in it's place, but somehow I still manage to lose my keys ALL THE TIME! They've been found in the strangest places.
14. I have changed a flat tire once in my life - all by myself, when I was 15 years old, in Drivers Ed. The instructor didn't have time to help, so he told me I'd get extra credit if I could figure it out.
15. I love Christmas decorations, and I've been collecting them since I was in my teens. The thing that takes up the most storage is my Christmas Village, which Chris has dubbed "The Metropolis" - I have over 60 pieces.
16. When I was younger I was a bit of a kleptomaniac - gum from the gas station, playdough from school . . . Luckily I got over that phase pretty quickly!
17. One thing I want to do really badly, but Chris isn't convinced that he wants me to, is try skydiving. I'm working on his permission for my 30th Birthday!
18. I love being a tennis player, but I've always secretly wished that I would have done soccer too - especially when I would watch Britt and Ashley play!
19. I absolutely LOATHE McDonalds!
20. Sometimes when I'm alone, I will read out loud in an English Accent - however, I think it might need some work.
21. I purchased all the gear I needed for snowboarding before I had ever actually boarded at a resort to know if I would like it or be good at it! Luckily my board, bindings, boots, coat, pants, gloves, goggles and the rest ended up being well used!
22. I love eating outdoors - from patio seating at a restaurant to a picnic in the park, a sidewalk cafe in Paris to my personal favorite - my parent's deck, surrounded by the beautiful landscaping, food, family and friends.
23. I would rather watch a period film (preferably set in 18th or 19th century) anyday over something depicting the present time - guess it has to do with my love for art, history and the humanities.
24. I only own 1 pair of jeans - don't really like them that much - probably because it's impossible for me to find ones that are comfortable and look good!
25. I don't like my ears to be touched - especially bent!!! If they get "moved" then I go crazy until I can press them back against my head - I know, crazy, but c'est la vie!

Jess, you crack me up!! How did you come up with all of those? I think I knew quite a few, but you surprised me with some. Nice job!
This was so fun to read, I think if I would have read it before last night I would have guess more stuff about you right! I also need to work on my brittish accent so maybe we could work on that together!!
