I've been tagged, so I'm supposed to share 6 things about me that people wouldn't know...

1. I love planning. I get this from my dad. It doesn't really matter what it is--parties, trips, dates, my day, my schedule--I just love it. I always have to write everything down that I'm planning, too. Kind of going along with this, I love being in charge, and I think on occasion I get carried away.

2. I am a morning person. I don't really like waking up early, but I function much better in the morning (this is becoming more and more apparent this semester as I have fallen asleep pretty much every time I've tried to study at night). I am much more productive and happy in the mornings.

3. I love buying new school supplies. That's probably my favorite thing about starting school every year, although it's kind of died down bit now that I'm in college. I miss the fun little school supply lists.

4. Although my friends and family would probably beg to differ, I am kind of shy. Despite the valiant efforts of my dad, I'm not a very outgoing person, but he has definitely helped me learn how to be more independent ("you only get in life what you're brave enough to ask for"). I really don't like big parties or big groups of people, especially when they're people I don't know. I don't really like trying to make new friends or anything. It's just completely out of my comfort zone. At big group gatherings, I use the buddy system. I find one or two people to attach myself to and try not to leave their side the whole time. I know it's kind of pathetic...but it's not that easy to fix.

5. I am the most indecisive person ever (which is kind of ironic considering #1)! It takes me forever to decide on things like ice cream flavors, clothes to buy, music to play, movies to watch, etc.

6. My heroes are my family. I adore my sisters. I have always looked up to them and wanted to be just like them. They are both so talented, strong, faithful, fun, and just incredible. They have set such wonderful examples for me, and I am still trying to follow in their footsteps. I am so amazed by my parents. They are such incredible people. For the last 6 or 7 years I have been the only child at home. I always really missed having my sisters at home, but during that time, I had the awesome opportunity of becoming really close to my parents. I was able to get to know them better as people, not just as my parents, and they became some of my best friends. I cherish the time I got to spend with them and am so grateful for them and all they have done.

Well that was a good excuse to blog, thanks Melissa! I tag...Stefani Mann, Stefani Case, and Abby (that's your cue, Andrea), and Mom!
