It's A Girl!

That's right! 30 years ago today, my Mom and Dad heard those words again! I was their last attempt at a little boy, but God gave them a little girl. My poor Dad never did get a little boy-only 3 little girls, but I don't think he minded. After all, I am his favorite! :)

It is so hard to believe I am thirty. I don't feel a day over 23. I have had a wonderful birthday so far. Although, I have been a bit under the weather. I was very sick yesterday, but today I am feeling much better. I did have to take cold medicine and that makes me a little (more like a lot) loopy. My coworkers are enjoying this. They think that my altered state is hilarious!

To celebrate my 30th, I thought I would share 30 things you probably didn't know about me. I hope you enjoy!

1. I have a very large head. My head is as big as my husbands. It comes from my Dad's side of the family. We all have very large heads.

2. I am the star of a YouTube video. Don't worry! It was for work. I promise it is not "adult entertainment".

3. My voice is a little high pitched. It makes me sound like I am 10 year old little girl. Telemarketers always ask me if my Mom is at home. :)

4. My last name is a color spelled funny.

5. I used to be a middle school teacher. I taught middle school agriculture (6-8th grade) for 3 years.

6. I have ridden a pig-a real one.

7. I was once a Cherokee Princess. In other words, I was a camp counselor for many years at Rock Eagle 4-H Center.

8. I don't find Brett Michaels attractive, but I can see where other people would.

9. I name my cars.

10. My first car was a red Pontiac Grand Am named Pocaswana.

11. I am still afraid of the dark.

12. I freaked out about the first wedding dress I bought and ended up buying another. I loved the second one!

13. I want to take a trapeze class.

14. I can put my whole fist in my mouth.

15. I was named after one of my Dad's students. She was in my Dad's high school agriculture class, and she was one of my Mom's cheerleaders. They thought she was sweet, so they named me after her.

16. I giggle at inappropriate times.

17. I'm an open book. I don't mind telling people anything that they ask about my life.

18. I love to google myself and other people when I get bored!

19. I don't reveal my last name on my blog because I have a stalker who likes to call me a fat and call me a b****. I don't want her to find me. She is a very mean person.

20. When I was a little girl, I had a reoccurring nightmare that there were goats in my room.

21. My husband and I met on a blind date. Michael's parents also met on a blind date. My parents were high school sweethearts.

22. I graduated with my undergrad and Masters at The University of Georgia, but I also went to a Jr. College (ABAC) in my hometown of Tifton for my first two years of college.

23. A friend and I had a radio show while we were at ABAC. It was called, "The Amber and Jennifer Show". Such a creative name!

24. I was the Valedictorian of my high school. Well, co-Valedictorian. My best friend and I had the same GPA. We shared the honor.

25. I have a hard time telling my left from my right in pressure situations. For example, if we are driving somewhere and Michael tells me to turn right, I panic and can't remember my right from my left.

26. My favorite food is fried artichoke hearts from a little restaurant in Athens called Amicis.

27. I buy cat food for and feed the stray cats that live at the recycling center near our house.

28. I'm a spender and not a saver, but I am trying to be better about my spending habits.

29. I am very tender-hearted, and I get very upset if I think I have hurt or offended someone.

30. My husband calls me bunny. Not sure how that came to be my pet name, but I think it is sweet!
