Late to the party but here none the less!
So I tend to share a lot of personal things on my blog because I really love you guys and I am totally self centered feel comfortable sharing it all! When you occasionally share about your “real” life I love reading it!
I dug up some stuff that I haven’t shared before because I have really enjoyed seeing the quirky side to you.
Let’s start with an oldie…
I have an older brother Taylor. He is THE BEST brother! It’s fitting that he’s wearing a superhero costume. In this picture my eyes are on my big brother. I just love it.
When we learned new dives we would wear t shirts and sweat shirts because we would land wrong in the water over and over.
Jump ahead almost another 10 years and I had two kiddos.
All I can remember about these years are that I was SO BUSY! I am amazed by you bloggy friends that balance blogging and young kids! I know you’ve seen my kids a lot so I kept it to a minimum.
My husband and I had our 15th anniversary a couple weeks ago! Not our best picture. We were staring into the sun on this one. During our first year of marriage we were washing our car outside our first house and a salesman came up to us and asked us if our parents were home. We just looked at each other and said, “No, they aren’t here!”
This is taken just a couple weeks ago at Disney world. I love how nerdy it is! It was such a fun day. This is right before we went into Star Tours. It’s 3-D so that’s why we are wearing the glasses.

I can relate to not loving small talk and needing help getting organized. My mom and sisters do my house once a year too! Cute pictures

Wow! You sound like you are quite the swimmer! I am a huge fan of classroom set up time too. There's something about setting up for a new year that I love! It was great getting to know more about you! 🙂

Learning Is Something to Treasure
I have never noticed the smell of wet popcorn. Actually, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever experienced wet popcorn at all! I am going to strive to keep it that way now too! Wow, I wish I had been a swimmer/diver in high school – looks like a blast! I remember Bozo too – I loved it at the end when they had to toss the pingpong ball into the cans! I always thought I'd be able to get all the way to the end – didn't they win a bike or something?! Thanks for sharing, I love to see the "real" side of bloggers every once in a while!

Very cool share! I just love to watch diving. The trials were on tv a few weeks ago and they were so exciting. I'm amazed by these athletes. My husband always flinches when he watches with me because he can't shake the image of Greg Louganis' head crack out of his brain. Just part of the sport like all other sports. I am super impressed by you now!

Awesome post! I love learning more about the wonderful bloggers that I follow!
I loved Bozo the Clown when I was a kid too! I remember watching the show on Sunday mornings… atleast I believe it was Sunday mornings.
Love it!! Funny story…one of the 1st grade teachers at our school has a son who is the best and helps us/brings us lunch this summer while we're working on math lessons and the other day he sent me a link to your blog/store and said "I think you would like her stuff!" I told him I already love you!!

August is probably one of my favorite months, too! I actually really like setting up my classroom.
Wow, a diver! I am a horrible swimmer, but I actually love to swim… ha ha ha.

I love watching professional divers… how cool is that?! Thanks for linking up sweet girl!
I am LOVING the Bozo costume! Watched it all the time growing up!
omgosh! I'm so glad you didn't walk away from me when we first met!! ha!!!
and now you're going to make me dig out my old photos…and add to my post! ha!!
My fiancee and I look really young too! The other night we went to a BYOB sushi joint with my mom, and the waitress only brought one wine glass to the table!! Today, we went to go get our marriage license, and they asked if we had a consenting adult!! I'm 29, and he's 27!! But, we do use it to our advantage whenever possible!
Loved learning more about you 🙂
