My cousin (in-law) gave me this blog award :) I've done something similar before but thought it would be fun to answer her questions. 

Eleven Fun Facts About Me:

1. I've lived in three different countries, USA, Japan & Italy.

2. I have a sexy husband who is a Marine.

3. We're expecting our second baby in October and just found we're having a girl!

4. I have a crazy/odd dog Samson who is like my first child. 

5. I have a tattoo and I want another one.

6. My parents were both born in the West (mountain people) but I'm a total beach girl.

7. I used to hate running but now I like it (most of the time). 

8. I went to college in central Florida and drove from Northern Virginia to Lakeland 16 times, 11 of which were by myself.

9. I love sleep, I really love to sleep in. I don't have that luxury anymore but my babies are worth it. 

10. I like to research. If I'm with friends and we don't know the answer to something, I'll pull my phone out and google it.

11. This one is random, we own a timeshare in Florida and a rental property in North Carolina :)
