One week ago I spent one week and a half galvanting to the West Coast then going literally cross country to the East Coast. I LOVE to travel! I am actually looking for someone to financially support my travel habits. So, if you're interested, let me know;) Anyways, I love airports. I love people watching. I love trying to figure out where people are going (or why they're leaving) and what their story is. And no matter where you are in the world, you find the same types of people eveywhere. I started to make a list as I waited for my plane to depart in Seattle. These are the people that I saw, see if you can relate:
- the middle-aged man with the overly gelled spiked hair in a Nike jogging suit with ipod in his ear stretching in the middle of the waiting area
- 4 business men dressed in probably very expensive suits talking way to loud about their business plans
- the infamous middle-aged man flying by himself with the Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts
- the young couple with the uncontrollable 3-year-old boy sprinting away at every chance he got
- the old ladies talking about waiting in line and asking each other questions about the boarding process and how things have changed over the years, I heard a lot of "remember when..."
- the awkward person sitting across from you that every time you look up you happen to make eye contact with
- the man...or woman...i couldn't really tell...they went into the women's bathroom though
- the teen texter
- the preppy lady with heels and Gucci purse talking on her headset
- the annoyed college-age son travelling with his mother and embarrassed that she keeps trying to do things for him
- dad/father standing outside the women's restroom with a bored look on his face holding his wife's and daughter's purses and garmet bags
- Melissa from the Bachelor look-a-like
So, if you've done ANY travel before, I am sure you can relate. More to come on the SkyMall magazine soon.

Facebook 25 Random Facts
Yes...yes i gave in. Here's the list of 25 random facts about me that I listed on Facebook.
Enjoy!
1. I love quotes. Whenever I hear/read a statement that I like I write it down. This results in me having pink and yellow sticky notes stuck all over my office with sayings that I like.
2. I live with my parents…awesome.
3. The other day I had to cut words and pictures out of magazines to make a collage of what I wanted in life down the road. Of course, family AND a husband were part of it. The magazines gave me lots of options to choose from including Freddie Prince Jr., Donald Trump, The Jonas Brothers, etc. but despite all the possible celebrity husbands, I chose the man from the Wrangler Jeans ad…tall, rugged, outdoorsy, (hopefully loves Jesus) I’ll take it!
4. I have a nose for roasted almonds. I can smell them anywhere and will almost always buy a pack no matter how much money I have or how full I already am.
5. I just spent 10 minutes de-linting my shirt using scotch tape.
6. My toenails are always painted.
7. I am a sucker for love songs.
8. My parents and my brother are my most favorite people!
9. I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to Tim Horton’s hazelnut coffee. And am convinced Tim Horton’s has the fastest drive thru ever!
10. I've inherited the organizational gene from my mother and have this odd habit of making sure all of our movies/dvds remain alphabetized.
11. I clean or go shopping when I’m bored.
12. I’m acting, sounding, and becoming more like my mom everyday.
13. I travelled for 11 months to over 15 countries around the world last year with 50 other young adults sharing the love of Christ. It was an awesome, amazing, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
14. I ran a 10 mile race in the summer, which is the farthest I have ran at one time. I am running a half-marathon (13miles) in May. We’ll see how that goes.
15. In the fall, I knew 18 pregnant women at one time. Babies, babies, babies.
16. I have had my belly button pierced. It only lasted for about a year and nobody really ever saw it, but it was fun to have anyways.
17. I have no idea what is next in my life. I am anxious and excited for whatever it is. And I’m hoping God lets me in on the secret pretty soon!
18. I love Panera Bread.
19. I usually have chapstick on my desk in my office until I threw it away yesterday because when I went to open it to use it, there was black, fuzzy mold growing on it. Sick! I’m not really sure how that happened with it being like -5 degrees in my office.
20. I have changed my ways and now enjoy carrying large purses, even though I only fill a quarter of them.
21. I am a list maker and get great satisfaction of crossing things off. Just ask my co-workers.
22. My next big trip, I want to travel Europe (especially Italy) or go to Australia.
23. I sometimes break into uncontrollable laughter when I read out loud.
24. I love to play any game, except the ones that you have to lie. I can’t lie worth anything.
25. I used to always wish for a baby elephant when I blew my candles out on my birthday.
That was a little more difficult than expected. Hopefully, enjoyable!

Super Bowl XLIII
So, tonight was the 43rd Super Bowl. I didn't really care who wins, but chose the Steelers because my brother was rooting for the Cardinals and of course, I couldn't root for the same team. Yes, I am 25 and he is 21 but sibling rivalry never ends! Anyways, here's a list of some of my observations/comments/thoughts/things I learned:
1. It appears that President Obama wears shimmering eye shadow.
2. Kurt Warner is the better looking quarterback, by far!
3. The beer and Doritos industry seems to be doing quite well despite the declining economy.
4. Defense DOES win championships. (I heard one of the announcers say this and since I was the only one rooting for the Steelers at the party I was at, I kept bringing it up...over...and over...and over again.)
5. The Super Bowl was evidence of a declining economy. That must have been the reason they chose Bruce Springsteen. I'm sure old acts must come at a cheaper price.
6. John Madden's extremely large face and hands are distracting.
7. Coach Mike Tomlin has very nice skin.
8. I know 100 yards is a long way especially when you have 200 pound men chasing you, but oxygen, seriously #92?
9. I thought I had lots more comments, but I guess I don't. This will have to do for now.
