Seven Things to Share About Myself:
1. I spent a summer researching Mexican Freetail bats and spelunking lava tubes in Northern California.
2. As a teenager growing up with my parents, I had absolutely no desire to learn how to cook. I could barely boil water.
3. My only two celebrity encounters, as paltry as they are, were Nancy Kerrigan at a seafood restaurant in Boston and Jerry Springer at Chicago’s O’hare airport. I couldn’t believe how much older he looks in person.
4. I’ve always wanted to be on the Amazing Race. My brother and I actually hiked to the bottom of Havasupi Falls in the Grand Canyon and made a video from there. We have yet be welcomed to the show.
5. I love the outdoors, hiking, and camping. It’s a dream of mine to one day hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Call me crazy, but I love to tackle a good challenge.
6. A friend and I ran a baby carrier business for about a year and a half and then sold it off for a small profit. Yes, I’m a babywearing addict.
7. I spent a semester during college studying abroad in The Netherlands. At one point in time I was “this close” to being a fluent dutch speaker. Now I’m lucky if I can ask for a sandwich.

My husband and I spent a month in Holland with his company. We saw Bruce Springsteen in concert in Rotterdam! We had a blast – of course, it was B.C. (Before Children).

Thanks Julie! I really appreciate it! Loved reading those little facts about you, so much fun!
Congrats!
I never wanted to learn how to cook either…I guess I thought my meals would simply appear of I would wake up at a certain age and know how to. I used to watch Jerry Springer all the time…before he got really weird.
Aw, thank you for thinking of me!
As for those facts – wow, just wow. You are definitely an interesting and well-rounded person!
