Birthday Candles

Today is my birthday and making the proverbial Monday a bit more special this week!
I thought it’d be fun to share 26 facts on my 26th bday.

—-

1. I’m a huge SEC football fan. 12 more days until kickoff– Go Dawgs!

2. I’m a complete hypochondriac. note: stay off webmd

3. Trulia is a serious addiction. I house hunt in cities that I’ll never live in, but love comparing studios/houses/apartments.

4. My mom, grandmother and cousins are all twins. Looks like my odds are extremely high down the road…

5. Whenever I’m stressed, baking is what calms me down.

6. In college my major was public relations, but now I work in sales.

7. I’ve met the most amazing friends from blogging and am so thankful for this community.

8. ‘Send Me On My Way’ by Rusted Roots is the song that always puts a smile on my face.

9. I worry about bad things happening to my family & friends all the time.

10. My dream job would be owning a small home decor + fashion boutique in Charleston, SC.

11. I met Brian two months before moving from South Carolina and we’ve been doing long distance for 3 years. I cannot wait to live in the same city, time zone and under the same roof.

12. I love that my two cousins are more like sisters to me.

13. Skiing is one of my favorite winter activities.

14. I spent a summer studying abroad in Florence, Italy and have had the travel bug ever since.

15. The University of Texas at Austin was my first college choice, but going to The University of Georgia was the best decision I’ve made.

16. I talk to my parents at least two times a day.

17. B and I really want to get a gooldendoodle once we move from St. Louis.

18. I love planning and hosting parties. I can’t wait for a house that has space to entertain in!

19. Cheerleading was the only sport I didn’t do growing up.

20. I have serious anxiety about going to the doctor or dentist.

21. I wear my heart on my sleeve and always put my family first.

22.  Traveling for work is fun, but gets lonely when you’re bouncing between hotel rooms.

23. I could spend hours reading a good book.

24. I’m worried that on our wedding day I’ll be way too emotional.

25. I feel like 26 is going to be the best year yet

    Happy birthday Ashley! I’m a serious hypochondriac too. When you’re ready to get a doodle you should check out IDOG rescue. That’s where we got out precious Pixie from! Hope you have a great birthday!

    Life as I know it

    Happy Birthday!!! I am the worst about WebMDing everything too and then I freak myself out and think I’m going to die! It’s the worst habit!

  14. August 18, 2014 / 11:31 am

    Happy happy birthday! I’m thinking you should definitely work on that dream job in Charleston!! 😉 Also, my parents have two goldendoodles and I hope to someday get one too!

  15. August 18, 2014 / 11:41 am

    Happy birthday, lovely! If you had a boutique in Charleston, I would totally make a trip to South Carolina just to visit 🙂 Have an amazing day!

  16. August 18, 2014 / 12:41 pm

  18. August 18, 2014 / 1:42 pm

    Happy Birthday!! Hope it’s a great day! I’m the same way with #3 and #9. Fantasy house hunting in other cities is fun. haha.

  19. August 18, 2014 / 2:24 pm

    Happy Birthday lovebug! I am so glad you didn’t go to UT because I am a Red Raider girl at heart and we both know how that would have turned out. I also have a fear of the dentist….like I break out into cold sweats and sometimes cancel my appointments just so I don’t have to go.

  20. August 18, 2014 / 2:27 pm

    Happy, happy birthday! Go Gators 😉

  21. August 18, 2014 / 2:28 pm

    Happy happy birthday!! Webmd is the worst- I’m always convinced I have a brain tumor or cancer after I consult it so I stay away. Your dream job sounds like my dream job! I love Trulia/Zillow/Redfin and I’m always checking out real estate in other cities. I love seeing how expensive or cheap they are.

  22. August 18, 2014 / 2:52 pm

    Happy Birthday! Hope it’s the start of the best year yet! I love learning more about you!
    I am a twin and it’s pretty awesome 😉 so here’s hoping you get a BOGO once day 🙂 hahaha

  23. August 18, 2014 / 3:01 pm

    Happy Birthday!!! My dream job would be to own a home decor boutique as well, or at least run an etsy shop. Hopefully one day when my kids are a little bigger! I’d like to do party decor and small home decor items. I live for party planning and anything that involves making things pretty. XO Have the best birthday! Oh and I’ll try about any natural remedy I can to avoid going to the doctor so I’m with you. lol

  24. August 18, 2014 / 3:04 pm

    Yayyyy! Happy birthday girl! And now I’m the 26th comment! 🙂 Hope you have an absolutely fantastic birthday and I’m with you… can’t wait for college football to come back!!
