Day 1

A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

Well apparently I don't really take pictures of myself very often anymore.  This pic is from Christmas with my family :)

1. I'm in a long distance relationship.  I'm in Edmonton, AB.  He's in Pittsburgh, PA.  We started dating before officially meeting for the first time.  He's amazing and I'm a very lucky woman.

2. Up until January, I was in school to become a high school teacher.  I was really burnt out and depressed and stressed out, so I quit (for now?).

3. I don't know anymore if I actually want to go back to school

4. I work for a temp agency 

5. I have a cat named Raine.  I've had her for 11 years.  I love her a lot.

6. I have a dog named Bailey who currently lives with my parents in Abbotsford, BC.  I miss her.

7. I'm pretty bad at saving money and now that I'm actually making money, I end up spending most of it on myself because I've been without money for so many years.  Eventually I'll get all caught up on the stuff I've been depriving myself of for a long time and actually start saving.

8. I hate Edmonton winters.

9. Both my younger sisters moved to Edmonton because of me

10. I hope to be able to permanently move back to Abbotsford some day

11. I got a Kindle from Boyfriend for Christmas and I use it basically every day during my lunch break

12. Sometimes I find random not-well-known bands and end up loving them.  A recent example is Twin Atlantic, who I found by accident while watching AWOLNATION music videos.  Twin Atlantic was one of the "related videos" so I clicked and ended up loving Sam McTrusty's Scottish accent which comes through in his singing

13. Boyfriend and I met years ago on a Newsboys messageboard but just started dating last March

14. I own a Mazda Protege whose name is Jared

15. My favourite season is Autumn.
