Getting Personal: 20 MORE Things You Might Not Know About Me

Hi Guys! Happy Happy Thursday! So today’s blog is inspired by the fact that yesterday, I was looking through all the beautiful people that follow this blog, and I realized I have so many new followers! WELCOME to my little corner of the internet! I’m so happy you’re all here! I figured if you haven’t been with me since the beginning, you might not know much about me. (Unless you read the 4 sentences I wrote about myself in my About Me section.)

So today, I decided to share a little bit more about myself! I’ve shared 15 random facts about myself before, butttt here are 20 more 🙂

1. I’m a human tornado. Seriously. No matter where I am I make a mess… even when I don’t mean to! This is why I married my husband Trevor. I make the messes, he cleans them 😉
2. I sleep with no less than 5 blankets every night. I like to wrap myself up in a cozy cocoon and not come out until morning.
3. If I could be on any reality show it would be Survivor! I’ve loved Survivor since I watched the very first episode ever when I was in 4th grade. However, I know for a fact that I would be terrible at the game. Why? Because I’m a terrible liar and I don’t like anyone to be mad at me. Plus… I’m too “nice”. Which means no one would want to take me to the end. (I’ve thought about this A LOT.)
4. I love to read! So much so that I will read until 4 am unless Trev physically takes my books from me.
5. I’m a Hufflepuff. (I’m pretty sure that this one sentence sums up everything you need to know about me.)
6. When I was in Kindergarten I told everyone my dream job was to be a Victoria’s Secret model. (I just wanted my wings, okay?!)
7. I comfort binge TV. My favorites are The Office, Parks and Rec and Gilmore Girls.
8. I’m really superstitious! From silly things like refusing to wash my Tom Brady jersey until his season is officially over to making sure I tell my husband “I love you, drive safe, let me know when you make it.” every day before he leaves for work. I just feel like sometimes doing things exactly the same way helps to project a little bit of good into the world. (Maybe this is just my anxiety. HA)
9. My favorite thing to do is watch the sunset.
10. My most used words are “like” (a terrible habit) and “ope” (like the true midwesterner I am).
11. I’m on my phone all the time… but I”m a horrible texter! I see texts come through on my watch at work and forget to respond to them when I get home. I’m the worst.
12. I graduated from Grand Valley State University (a liberal arts college here in Michigan) where I graduated with my Bachelors degree in English and Elementary Education! It’s also where I met my husband, Trevor! A little bonus fact- finding a teaching job in Michigan was really hard when I graduated. I spent a few years substitute teaching and this is when I was introduced to early childhood/preschool classrooms! I joined a company I loved and believed in as a Young 5s teacher and now, I’m an Assistant Director at our early childhood center.
13. I drink one Diet Coke every night.
14. I’m really quiet and kind of shy. Some people tell me I need to talk more because everyone thinks I’m rude. But I’m not! I just prefer to listen to people. I feel like I learn more about them that way!
15. I’d take Lake Michigan over any ocean, any day of the week. No salt = no sharks!
16. I love Mexican food. I’ll pick it over any other type of food always!
17. I’ve found out one of my biggest passions is turning our house into our home. I have loved designing and decorating every in of our house SO much.
18. My favorite animals are Panda Bears! I think they’re the cutest and videos of them playing make me so happy.
19. I love airports. I’m not sure if it’s the feeling of embarking on an adventure I get while I’m there or if it’s just the places themselves. But I love them! When we were flying home from our honeymoon we got stuck at the Toronto airport for 6+ hours (we could have rented a car and driven back to Detroit in less time.) But I didn’t mind. We spent the time wandering the airport, eating snacks, window shopping, and exploring. I was so happy.
20. I have a weird hidden “talent”. (If you can call it a talent.) My fingers do this…

Weird right? Even weirder, I can totally catch a ball with my fingers like this. (Both my hands do it.)

So what random facts do we have in common? And most importantly, can anyone else curl up their fingers like me??

Before I sign off, I just want to say, thanks again for reading Savannah Said It. I’m so happy you guys have found your way to my little corner of the internet. 💕
