25 Random Things about Me

Everyone on facebook is doing this list of 25 random things. I didn't really feel like publishing it so everyone could see, but thought it would be fun.

1. I'm a Boulder girl at heart and always will be, but I am loving San Francisco!
2. I hope to one day go back to Italy and live there.
3. My parents are amazing people and I look up to them more than they know.
4. I HATE being late and the only time I was ever late to class in college I ended up not going because I was too embarrassed to walk in late.
5. My brother and I get along better than any other brother and sister I know. I have looked up to him my whole life and love that we are finally living in the same city!
6. Most people don't know this, but I am a pretty shy person. I am very outgoing one on one, but when it comes to groups, I get a little overwhelmed.
7. One of my favorite shows is Dexter and when I finally get a dog, I'm going to name him Dexter (putting aside the fact that Dexter is a serial killer on the show).
8. I'm very competitive, which probably comes from growing up with an older brother, and I feel like this quality comes out most when I'm skiing.
9. My boyfriend makes me laugh more than anyone.
10. I dream of one day living in a ski town, working on ski patrol and as a nurse practitioner.
11. Two years ago I was training for a marathon with a friend and I injured my hip. I wasn't allowed to run for over 6 months and have never been able to run the same since.
12. I wanted to quit nursing school as a freshman, sophomore, and junior. It wasn't until I worked on a pediatric hematology/oncology floor between my junior and senior year that I fell in love with nursing. Now I am so happy with what I am doing and find my job to be the perfect fit for me.
13. Traveling to all the continents is on my mental list of things to do in my life. I have a long way to go.
14. Being able to support myself without the help of my parents feels great.
15. I have been 5'10" since I was 14 years old and I usually love it.
16. One of my favorite places in the world is up at the lakes in Brainerd, Minnesota. We go every year and I hope one day to be able to bring my kids to the same house.
17. Seychelles is a place I have been wanting to visit ever since I read Timothy of the Cay in 4th grade.
18. I have only yelled at two people in my life (not including my immediate family) and they were probably the two scariest moments of my life.
19. My roommates have great style and I am constantly trying to even come close to looking as good as they do.
20. The Police is my all time favorite band probably because my first CD was one of theirs given to me by my dad.
21. My best friend Breezy and I got pulled up on stage to dance with Snoop Dogg who was opening for the Chili Pepper's concert.
22. I was on the same swim team for 14 years and some of my fondest memories and best friends come from those years.
23. My parents decided that a mullet was cute when I was between 3 and 5 years old.
24. One of my favorite and most rewarding things I ever did was coach special olympics softball. I still talk to one of the players at least once a month and see her every time I am home.
25. I love reading, but it can consume my life to the point where I won't do anything BUT read. If I start a book and love it, I won't put it down until I finish it, literally.
26. My dad and I both wish that I had put more time into golfing. One day I would like to shoot consistently under par.
27. I want to live a carefree, happy life in the mountains with a house by the ocean.

Oops 27!
