11 Things About Me

1.  I live in Southern California, but hail from a small town in Colorado. I'm a mountain girl at heart!

2. I am incredibly allergic to most cats and dogs. Also, cigarette smoke, which is interesting considering I was a smoker for some time. I quit this past April and feel better than ever!

3. I skipped kindergarten and graduated from high school a year and a half early. I was an autodidact through high school and only attended a fashion design class and theater at public school.

4. I've always wanted to pierce my nose, but I am plagued with many metal allergies (I can only wear 14k gold or higher, and even then sometimes it will give me hives)

5. I am trying desperately to finish my college degree in Anthropology, but school is expensive out here in California and all the good classes fill up FAST.

6. I'm kind of a geek. I'm obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, I love video and computer games, I gobble up fantasy books and I am hoping to attend my second convention next year at Dragon Con in Atlanta! 

7. I'm a natural blonde, but I've been dying my hair various shades of red since I was 13. 

8. I used to be a figure skater. I miss it a lot sometimes!

9. My marriage is the best and hardest thing in my life. Getting married young brought up many challenges, but I'm a better, more fulfilled person because of it, and I am so blessed to have such a great husband. 

10. I've struggled with depression for 5 years, but I get stronger every day and it no longer controls me.

11. I am adopted, but many would never guess it. So many people say I look just like my mom and dad!
