Ten (okay, eleven) things.

It's been almost a year since I've blogged anything. To say that the last year has been a whirlwind would be an understatement, but I'll save that post for another time. In light of the fact that I'm heading to NASA in 10 days, I thought I'd go ahead and restart my blog. All of our updates will be on here (except for short status update on FB :)). Tonight, I'm taking a break from thinking about TEDP's, glove boxes, 0-g (and the impending motion sickness) and the million documents NASA wants signed. Just a little fun tonight :)

I've been told (only by the people that know me the best) that I'm incredibly easy to read. Yet, there's always random facts that people are clueless about, even after spending months or years around me. With that being said, I'm going to post 10 random facts that you may not know about me. Here goes nothin'...after a picture of course :D





1. I'm incredibly stubborn. I will argue with you until I am blue in the face, even if I know I'm losing the argument.

2. I am TERRIFIED of the dark, except when I'm sleeping. Then, I prefer it pitch black.

3. I'm not quite a fan of plane take-offs...or plane rides...or plane landings. This whole NASA thing will be an adventure for sure and I've put the details of the plane ride out of my head.

4. I wish I was meaner (I'll pay for admitting this). I have an innate ability to be incredibly sweet and charming, but it's apparently funny when I attempt to be mean. It drives me nuts.

5. I'm borderline obsessed with elephants. No joke, ya'll.

6. I have no doubt that when I find "the one," I'll know fairly quickly. The first one not to completely annoy me within a couple months, wins.

7. I haven't been able to bend the toes on my right foot in almost 4 years. Long, painfully embarrassing story.

8. I've killed 2 rats in my life, but I've never touched a rat. I despise them and killed them by screaming at the top of my lungs. They both (2 separate occasions), died instantly.

9. I'm thankful I didn't grow up with a sister. Having brothers is awesome and I didn't have to share my stuff. God added my sister at the perfect time :)

10. I hate true-false questions with a passion. I'm convinced they're of the devil. Seriously.

11. Yeah, I know I only said 10, but one more won't hurt. I am insanely passionate about exercise and sport science, especially clinical exercise and I love to know that I'm making a difference in other people's lives through the field.
