She inspired me to go back and visit the 25 Random Things about me that I shared 4 years ago.
1) I have lived in Alaska.
Still true. Alaska is not on my current list of hopeful states to live in.
2) I have a severe phobia of hearses. Seriously.
Seriously. I don't know where it comes from, but they freak me out. I can't look at them, which can be dangerous while driving.
One good thing about Colombia, I haven't seen one hearse. I don't even want to know how they handle that situation here.
3) My favorite place on earth is Disney World. I literally turn into a 6 year old little girl. It truly is a place where dreams come true.
Obvi.
4) My favorite time of year is Christmas. I literally turn in to a 6 year old little girl. And yes, Santa still comes every year.
Yep. I am especially looking forward to the 2013 Christmas season. It's going to be magical.
5) I have the most amazing friends...ever. They have been there through everything. And I proudly declare that we have been friends since high school.
Well this random fact has only continued to amaze me. We live on different continents and our friendships continue to grow. That makes me a lucky lucky girl. Not to mention they are all gorgeous.
6) My first kiss with my husband was in Angie Beaman's front yard.
Mmmmmhmmmm.
7) I am extremely particular about the "h" at the end of my name. Please don't forget it.
Still. Although being called "Sada" in Colombia has toned it down a bit here. But my first question to another Sarah is if she spells it with an h. If she says yes, I tend to like her a little bit more.
8) I am a proud Britney fan...always have been. I knew the choreography to Slave For You in college...dont judge me.
Still love me some Britney, not quite as much as I did, but she will always have a place in my pop culture heart.
9) I am totally a planner/Type A person. However, the wonderful man I married has a job that has provided us with 4 moves in 3 years and I literally can't tell you where we will end up next.
Well, well, well. Little did I know the 5th move would be here, in a land where plans don't exist. I think this whole experience has 'chilled me out a bit'. I think.
10) I absolutely love my first home. The only negative is that it's so far away from friends and family.
We both loved that house. From time to time we discuss some of our favorite memories at 885.
11) I am so in love with my baby boxer bella (dog)...I can't imagine what the love for my future children will be like.
I do love that dog so. A lot of my excitement about traveling to the US is to be reunited with the baby boxer bella. It makes me feel so good to know that she is living the good life in the US, spoiled rotten.
12) I don't think I really knew how blessed my life was until I began working on my masters in counseling.
Living in another country has also opened my eyes to my many blessings. I've also never felt prouder to be an American.
13) I enjoy reading and love passing books onto others...anything to get people reading.
Still love sharing wonderful books, especially now that I have so much time to read.
14) I also have this thing about owning books...I have a hard time going to the library...I like them to be mine.
15) I love to entertain...from start to finish, the planning, the preparing, & enjoying the beautiful people.
I still love entertaining and celebrating with people. My ideas of entertaining have changed a bit while living in Colombia, but it is possible without every ingredient, pretty serving platters, and themed napkins.
16) I have an amazing, supportive, hilarious, kind, & loving family!
You can say that again. Matt and I are so lucky to have such wonderful families that support us, wherever we are.
17) I am addicted to Diet Coke. I can't survive without it...(this is hereditary in my family)
The amount of Diet Coke I drink here is minimal compared to what I drink when I am Stateside, where cans of Diet Coke exist. I guess you could say I am still addicted to Diet Coke, because Colombia has Coca Cola Light. It is NOT the same.
18) I became exactly what I did not want to be when I moved south...a person who can't deal with cold. When it gets below 40...I am cold. And it only took a year.
Moving farther south has only exacerbated this problem. It's 86 degrees here today and is forecasted to be 86 for the rest of the week.
Below 40?
Pfffff.
19) I love that I have friends that make time for one another...VEGAS!
We may not have been to Vegas in a while, but that is probably a good thing. Living farther away, I don't have the opportunity to make it to every get together or girls weekend, but I still manage to see these amazing woman at least once a year. That's pretty special.
20) My dog has her own toy box...and it is full
True. Except the toy box isn't in my house. It's in my parents. For Christmas the girls got a new toy box, because the former was overflowing. I don't know a dog who loves toys more than Bella.
21) I love pasta, bread, sushi, & cheese!
Word.
22) I love to drink wine with good friends & my amazing husband! Cakebread is my all time favorite!
No access to Cakebread has me itching for a trip to Napa. I've also consulted with my husband on more than one occasion, about the possibility of becoming Cakebread Wine Club Members. I'll keep you posted.
23) I love to call Misty Lynch @ work. The ratio of times I call her office to her cell phone is inappropriate.
This still happens. Not as often, after all, we are adults now. But I still have her work number on speed dial.
24) I am thankful for my Beaumont Best Friends (BBF) who have made this transition to SE Texas life so wonderful!
I've been very lucky to meet so many wonderful people along this journey.
25) I enjoy doing laundry...
especially with a laundry basket.
