Quarter-Life :)
Yesterday I turned 25. So I thought I'd give 25 facts about myself :)
1. I married my high-school sweetheart. (Although I had been secretly in love with him since 7th grade:)
2. I have to have music on to edit pictures..usually Pandora.com but sometimes my iTunes/iPod
3. I have such a sensitive heart..a simple commercial can bring out the crocodile tears..Oprah does it the most lately though lol
4. I'm electronic/technology obsessed..the newest technology I want ASAP..I wish I wasn't like this & would just be content w/ what I have but computers/cameras/gadgets just do it for me, esp. Apple/Mac
5. I love all babies
6. Not an animal person
7. Loves traveling with my husband around the world..Vietnam, Paris, Prague, Peru, London, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Istanbul, Amsterdam & with hopes to go to Morocco & Spain in the winter or possibly Italy:)
8. I wish I enjoyed cooking. All the women in my life can cook amazingly...but I'm just not into it
9. Dane and I got married 3 months ago (Jan 2011) in Vegas w/ about 48 of my closest family and friends...by far the best/most fun weekend I've ever experienced
10. I swoon over Johnny Depp :) *sigh*
11. Hot Tamales = my favorite candy of all time. I enjoy eating them with popcorn simultaneously b/c when ate together, it gives the taste of caramel popcorn. If Hot Tamales are no where insight, I must have popcorn and sweet tea, at the same time...I'm weird.
12. McDonalds french fries dipped in vanilla ice cream is sooooo yummy...it's a MUST try:)
13. LOVE LOVE LOVE all shows on the Bravo Network
14. Everyday I have to watch certain daily vlogs (video blogs) on youtube.com of certain professional vloggers (iJustine, ShayTards, TobyTurner, Mr.ArturoTrejo) every. single. day. It's crazy how I'm addicted to these random peoples lives. They document their everyday occurrences with a handheld point-n-shoot camera or flip camera and post them in 5 to 20 minute videos everyday.
15. Sometimes like cursing..LOUD..lol
16. I enjoy going to the movies by myself.
17. Love mine & Dane's board-game nights with our friends:) Settlers of Catan-What What!!
18. Ages 7-13 I was obsessed with watching a videotape my mom made of my entire 1st year of my life
19. Must sleep with a box fan, a really NOISY box fan. I blame my family for this one, we all do this
20. I think my best friend Cassie and I speak a different language that only we understand. We can look at each other & crack up. Make weird abnormal sounds to each other and the other just gets it. I have two soul mate, my husband Dane and my Cassie:)
21. Can pretty much recite every line from: Sex and the City episodes, Laguna Beach/The Hills, Bridget Jones Diary, Juno. Cruel Intentions & The Newlyweds (Jessica Simpson love!)
22. I'm obsessed with the band Incubus and their lead singer Brandon Boyd. Hot Hot Hot!
23. Hate my handwriting
24. I go by many names: Lanie, Goonie, Pea, Boabsidy, Bangel (that's Baby Angel)
25. I do believe Mexican Food is the best food in the world. Salsa more importantly
My dad may be 90 miles away from me, but he always knows how to put a smile on my face. He had some sweet gifts delivered to me:)
I also thought.."hey, you know what would be cool? If I gave a fact for every year of my life so far..1-25"

Year 3- I use to hold my bladder while swimming at my nannaw's pool and would jump up and down holding myself because I had to pee so bad and my brothers would yell at me to go to the bath house lol
Year 4- I colored a bunny picture at my dad's house and won a contest...i got a big stuffed white bunny
Year 5- I changed a letter grade on my kindergarden report card to look like either an "E" or an "S"...my mom rewarded me and didn't even notice that I had tampered with the report card and signed her signature, she only found out that I had changed it when the teacher called the next day b/c she noticed.. lol (What 5 year old thinks to do something so deceiving?

Year 15- Joined a hip-hop competitive dance team which I loved, got my first car = Chrysler Sebring Convertible, a drinking party got thrown at my house while my parents were gone..I was too embarrassed to kick everyone out (umm hello, there were HOT SENIORS present!) so I just sat around quietly..then the cops came. I was grounded for 3 months :( and then came February 15th..Dane and I started dating again and have been together ever since :) 9 years!
Moving on..
Year 16- Kind of a boring year..spent every waking moment with my boyfriend and drove around with friends.

Our trip to Istanbul & Amsterdam
This trip was taken one week before our wedding, sorry I'm just not getting around to posting pictures on here..it was a FANTASTIC trip and we loved both places we went..We always travel with Dane's sister Kana, she makes everything more fun:) we usually travel to two different countries in one trip to make the most out of our time and we always pick a favorite after the vacation...this time, we couldn't pick a favorite..we loved them both equally! :)
Anne Frank's hideout for 2 years, the Annex was so cool inside (wasn't allowed to take pictures)
The line to go into the Frank Annex..
Any type of food you could think of, Amsterdam had it
My beverage of choice while being in Europe
Public urinal outside for all to see in the middle of a square..and it was used right before this picture was snapped...ewwww
The ORIGINAL red light district
View near our hotel :)
ISTANBUL
Funny story about this picture..we were so jet-lagged that we took long naps during the day (hit it hard in the morning, then sleep, then go out again at night) well..we must have not realized how tired we really were on the first day b/c we sleep completely through dinner..woke up at 10:45 pm and nowhere was open around us...so we had these snacks in our hotel which became our fabulous dinner for that night:)
My handsome husband:)
AMSTERDAM
