33 Things.

Well, on Dec 30th I turned 33! I can't believe how quickly my life has gone by now that I have graduated from high school. Those days always seemed to drag. One year seemed like ten! Anyway, it's been quite some time since I have posted anything (facebook will do that to you) so I am stealing someone else's idea by telling you 33random facts about myself. Not that you care to know them, but now that I have children, I never get to talk about myself. So this is a treat ;)

1. I share a birthday with Tiger Woods, Lebron James, and Matt Lauer.

2. I was almost a Jennifer Shelley. My granny suggested "Agatha".

3. When Joey and I got married, I didn't drop my middle or last name. So my SS card reads " Jennifer Kelly Horton Ammons"

4. I love Paula Deen and Beth Moore.

5. I love cookbooks, and trying new recipes. I especially love those cookbooks that "church ladies" put together. I have bought many from Ebay.

6. The only thing I collect are the large crystal ornaments that Swarovski puts out every year. I have 11 of them.

7. My family called me (and still do) Jennabug when I was growing up. My little brother and sister have called me "Jit Jit" since they were able to speak. The are now 19 and 21 years old.

8. I am the middle child of five. I have two sisters and two brothers.

9. I moved to Wildwood in February of 85. My first day of school was February 13. I was in the 2nd grade.

10. I consider myself an optimist. I'm also a procrastinator.

11. I use to think my eyes were purchased at Sears ( I really did)

12. I want to visit as many National Parks as I can before I die.

13. I really love the beach, or relaxing in a pool. There's nothing like feeling the hot sun on your skin.

14. When I was young, if you asked me my name I would say "Jennifer Kelly Horton come on down" thanks to watching too many episodes of "The Price Is Right"

15. I can throw a bait caster very well. No zebco needed here!

16. I love the Violin. I took lessons when Will was a baby. The timing was bad, and I didn't have the patience to learn. Maybe one day...

17. I love to read! I wish I made more time to do so.

18. I want to be a runner. I want to run marathons! I just have to train myself to do so. And I will very soon. Unfortunately, having children has weighed heavy on a certain part of my insides. So until that's under control, I have to take baby steps.

19. I have not had a speeding ticket in 12 years.

20. Both my pregnancies combined, I gained a total of 25 pounds.

21. I am THE most modest person I know.

22. I have some of the best friends you could imagine. And they are all like sisters to me. (Cyndi, Pam, Sherry, Jen, Krystal) I know any one of them would drop everything to be there for me, and I would do the same for them. I am so blessed! I have many friends...but those five girls are my very closest.

23. I have THE best brothers and sisters in the world! We all have a strong bond and we never fight. I love love love them!

24. My favorite quote is "Write your dreams in concrete and your plans in sand"

25. I graduated in May of 2001 from The University Of South Florida. It's one of my proudest moments.

26. I colored my hair for the first time this year! And I ONLY did because of all my gray hair! Now I have to do so every 8 weeks and it drives my crazy!

27. One day, I hope to become certified as a translator for the deaf. It's a passion of mine.

28. I love to sleep.

29. I wear, and love the products and make-up from Merle Norman.

30. If my house burned down tonight...I would only be sad about losing my pictures. I am grateful that I don't feel "attached" to possessions.

31. I love art. Especially oil on canvas pieces. I have three Thomas Kinkade's and about 6 misc pieces.

32. I truly think I could survive on liquids alone. Especially on sweet tea, Smoothie King and Starbucks.

33. I want to be known for something one day. Whether it's through and act or an invention. I think it's my destiny.
