get to know me

one ///// Tacos are my favorite food 

    I honestly could eat a taco for every meal for the the rest of my life and not be upset about it. They're just so good, and there are so many different kinds you could make. Chicken. Beef. Shrimp. Fish. Hard. Soft. A salad. You name it, they have a taco for it. The best taco I've ever had was a spicy shrimp taco in Ocean Isle, NC. Oh my, was it good. I want to try to make it myself but I know there's no way mine would do it justice. 

two ///// I want a garden

from the Farmhouse Living blog 

    I can't wait until I have my own house with a big backyard that I can grow a small garden in. I love being outside and I also love plants so I think gardening would be so fun and relaxing. I think having chickens would be so fun too, and I really want my house to have a modern farmhouse theme, whether or not I live in an actual farmhouse.

three ///// I really want to go white water rafting

    I'm not really sure why, but white water rafting has always looked so fun to me. I loved the Kali River Rapids ride at Disney World, so maybe that started my obsession haha. I would love to do it in the Colorado River. 

four ///// I want to visit every US national park 

    I want to travel to a lot of places, but the national parks are at the top of my list. There's a lot of them and they just keep adding more, but they're all so beautiful that I really want to see all of them during my life, especially the ones out west. Seeing their immensity and beauty just gives testimony to God's greatness that He could make something so amazing. 

five ///// My love languages are quality time and physical touch

    When I took the test, quality time and physical touch were tied for my top love language and I'd say that I agree with that to some extent. I don't know if its possible to have different love languages depending on the type of relationship, but for me I would say that's the case. I love just hanging out and doing things with the people I love no matter the type of relationship I have with them, but in romantic relationships specifically it's a combination of the two. I love holding their hand or just sitting close while spending quality time with them. With friends and family though, I'm not a super huggy or close person for some reason. After quality time and physical touch, acts of service is a fairly close third, then words of affirmation, and then gift giving was last which I'm pretty sure I scored zero for, so don't expect me to give you a gift just because haha. 

six ///// I would love to live somewhere warm 

    Snow is pretty and I like it when it falls for the first time each year, but after that I hate it. I'm so much happier in the spring and summer when its warm and sunny, so if I ever move out of Ohio it'll probably be somewhere down south. And if I was near the ocean or a lake that would be even better. 

seven ///// I'm an enneagram type 9

    In my 10 Things About Me post last year I said I was a type 5, but after I learned more about the enneagram types, I realized the 9 sounded a lot more like me. You can read my enneagram post to learn more about it, but me being a 9 basically means that I hate conflict and will do anything to avoid it with people, which usually means that I will go with the opinions of others even if I don't agree just so we can keep the peace. Because of this, we are really easy going and laid-back people, but we tend to lose our true selves in the people we love. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely speak my mind if I strongly disagree with you about something that's important to me, but if its not that big of a deal, I'm not going to waste my energy and risk conflict by arguing with you about something. 

eight ///// I listen to a wide variety of music

    I listen to music while I do homework and study, so in the past two years I've listened to a lot of it and it forced me to listen to different things because just listening to one type of music all the time gets old after about a week haha. My favorite is country, but some of my other favorites are The Lumineers, Needtobreathe, Lana del Rey, and Johnnyswim. 

nine ///// My style is all over the place

    As I get older my style keeps changing and I keep adding elements from different styles into my own. I told my friends a few months ago its like boho, minimal, girly, edgy, hipster, preppy, and casual all in one. 

ten ///// I love to read

    Reading is honestly probably my favorite thing to do, and I usually read one to two books a week (when I'm not in school that is). It's so relaxing but can also be so fun. Reading fiction books is kind of like being in a whole new world inside of your head for a few days, and non-fiction can teach you so much and help you with so many things. My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird and its one I think everybody should read at least once in their life. I had to read it for an english class in high school and I just recently read it again and appreciated it so much more. It has an intriguing story line while also being filled with such great meanings and lessons. You can learn things from the pureness of Scout's heart, the wisdom of Atticus, the injustice of Tom Robinson, and the care and protection of Boo Radley. 

With love,
