25 Random things...

This interesting idea has been floating around on facebook for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd join in the fun!

Here are 25 random things you might not know about me:

1. I always choose sweet pickles over dill

2. I wore braces for 6 years! And I'm proud to say just the other day, my dentist told me I could be a tooth model...if only he could have seem them when I was 12 :)

3. I played the violin as a kid, and now enjoy playing the piano on occasion. Mind you, I have NO form at all, and it takes quite a long time for me to read music. But, it's a small accomplishment nonetheless.

4. I love a PB and banana sandwich anytime of the day!

5. I absolutely laugh the hardest when I hang out with my SISTERS

6. Greg and I both shared our first date, first kiss, and first love with each other :)

7. My fingers and toes look dead when I get really cold sometimes....kinda weird I know.

8. I actually ENJOY DOING LAUNDRY. It just feels so warm, I love folding and organizing the closet, and I love the smell of clean!

9. I love distressed furniture

10. It would be my dream to have a set of boy/girl twins someday

11. I own about a dozen tubes of lip gloss, but rarely ever wear them

12. CHOCOLATE...need I say more?

13. My favorite seasons are the hot and beachy SUMMERS in Michigan filled with ice cream shops on every corner and shorts and tank tops until 10 at night; and the green and luscious SPRINGS in California where wildflowers grow on every rolling green hill...ahhh...miss those sometimes.

14. My house is usually cluttered, and the bed is rarely ever made....but at least the laundry is always done!

15. The strangest thing I ever ate was a dried octopus tentacle....wouldn't recommend it

16. I still bite my nails

17. I've always wanted to take a trip to Australia

18. I moved 8 times growing up

19. I am almost ALWAYS late, and just never seem to know why :)

20. Am I really 25 years old and STILL having occasional breakouts?! Seriously...

21. I tend to complain about a lot of things, but then BRAG about them later....you know excatly what I mean :) The girl that complains about being dirty while camping, but then tells her friends the next day how totally awesome it was!

22. I love pets....in OTHER people's homes. It's just difficult in MI when you have to keep pets indoors in the winter. I'm all about a pet...as long as it can stay outside.

23. My Mom's cookies are way better than yours....not even kidding

24. I love doing puzzles in the winter

25. The furthest I've ever run at one time is 4 miles...some of us just aren't born runners :)

I finally did it!

Welp....I've given in.

...given in to the world-wide phenomenon of blogging. I'm usually a late bloomer when it comes to the newest technology. I owned my first cell phone my third year of college. I fought tooth and nail to join facebook, and eventually gave in 2 years ago to become an official facebook junkie, and now, I am beginning my first ever blog! I still don't text though, so don't bother sending them. :)

I have seen much value in reading numerous blogs however, as it's a great way to keep updated on friends and family all around the world. I always get excited when someone posts something new, and I often wonder if people are as curious about my life as I am theirs.

The title of this blog has a couple different meanings. First, it is simply so you can stay tuned into my life through fun and hopefully witty updates :). Second, it is my goal to be in tune with my God, and the people around me as best I can. The times when I am completely tuned in to what He wants for my life are moments I don't forget. They are not always easy per say, nor come often enough, and might not make much sense at the time. But, looking back on them is a priceless reminder of what He has brought me through. So, stay tuned in to my life as I seek to stay tuned into God.

Welcome to my blog!
