Hello! I spent the day today with about 20 seniors on a field trip to visit a college. Breakfast was kashi strawberry cereal with unsweetened almond milk:

 

During the hour and 45 minute bus ride I snacked on a larabar and a medium french vanilla coffee with half and half.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone photos.

Lunch (unpictured) was  and provided by the college hosting us. I had a veggie wrap, which was basically lettuce and caesar dressing on a whole wheat wrap and an apple.

Since I knew this post was going to be a snoozefest food-wise, I thought  I would try to make it fun! I share a lot about myself and my life on this blog. But, even after two and a half years, there is still stuff that you guys don’t know about me. Here are 10 Things You Don’t Know About Me: 

 

1. I had braces for 7 years!!!!

I had them from 5th grade until my junior year in high school. I HATED them, but now when I look at photos of my smile I realize it was well worth it!

2. I was present at Oscar’s birth and I actually delivered his 5 other litter mates with my own hands. His dog-mother is Adam’s mother’s dog and she was so young when she had them that her instincts weren’t fully there yet so I helped her out with the birth. It was one of the scariest, grossest and most amazing things I have ever witnessed and out of it I got my adorable little guy :)

3. I have an Associates Degree in Theater Arts. I acted since I was 10 years old and in my college career I starred in 10 plays.

4. I met Ben Affleck when he was filming The Town.  He is even more handsome in person (swoon).

(That is actually wax Ben in a wax museum circa 2005, but I met in in real life).

5. I once gave an interview over the radio while laying on a pile of wedding dresses. Full story here.

6. I don’t talk about this at all on my blog because I believe my relationship with God is extremely important and also really personal, but I am a very, very spiritual person.

7. I once directed a benefit production of the Vagina Monologues. The proceeds benefited a local domestic violence shelter. It was s super challenging experience that made me realize I am MUCH better suited for the stage than the directors chair.

(That was the play poster for the production that I directed)

8. My right ear is shaped like an elf ear and my left one is completely normal. Adam thinks it is the cutest thing ever, I actually hate it. I just found out a few weeks ago that my aunt’s ears are the same way. I thought I was the only one in my family.

9. I was the president of the Social Justice Club when I was in High School. It is something that I was really passionate about.

10. I can shoot an AK-47 like it is nothing. Check this video out!

In the video Adam says, “That one hit me!” I did not hit him, promise!

  1. This is such a fun list! I love reading about random facts like these.

    And that must have been so cool meeting Ben Affleck in person!! :D

  2. Jamie says:

    That’s me in the social justice club!

  3. Ali says:

    Jamie- Yup! That is you!

  4. Oh I love reading this and learning about you :-)
    You’ve done some fantastic things over the years!
    Most people don’t know that I’ve suffered from depression, people don’t often know that I began dancing aged three or that I was born with black hair!
