Some things you may not know about me...

I love Gerber daises.
I have an irrational fear of drains.
I drink out of the same coffee cup everyday and will continue to do so until I buy a new one that I like better.
I have random and intense urges to be running through some type of field or orchard, for instance, an apple orchard or a sunflower field (I am going to one tomorrow).
My biggest challenge is living in the present; I continuously live in the future and I am trying to change that but I find that it is hard to live in the present if you are not living for the purpose of some future goal that you have to keep in mind.
I love simplicity yet I am drawn to complication.
I cannot stay mad at anyone no matter what they have done to me.
I have seen a dozen sunsets and only one sunrise and I find that I remember endings more than I do beginnings.
I love when I am being serious and I love when I am being goofy but I hate when I am in the middle.
When I don’t know how to be myself in a situation, I over-indulge in sarcasm and I would love to find a new defense mechanism.
I hate when rain pours down as hard as it can but the second that you decide you’d like to run out into it, it stops as if it would rather you not be involved.
I want everyone in the world to know that there is at least one thing about them that is unique and irresistible and if there were not then God would not have felt a need to create them.
As long as I don’t have a test or mandatory attendance in a class, I will drive 6 or 7 hours just to see the ocean with anyone who asks me.
I love consistency but I look forward to change.
Whenever I find myself disappointed about something, I realize that it is solely because I had expectations that I never should have had.
I love burning candles but I hardly ever think of lighting them.
Of all the Disney characters, I relate most to Belle from Beauty and the Beast or Pocahontas.
I love that God created so many amazingly beautiful places on this planet but that we are only capable of being in one place at one time…perhaps we are suppose to enjoy where we are when we are?
I am constantly reminding myself that love is a choice rather than a feeling.
Finally, it was brought to my attention once by my friend Molly that the purpose of a lighthouse is to shine a light as far into the darkness as possible and if I could be any one object in the world…I would be a lighthouse
