1.) My first “real” job was cleaning limousines. I did it for three years and had to drive the limos up and down the driveway and park them in a tiny garage! This job had it’s perks: I always got sweet limos for prom and special occasions, however the thrill of riding in them was ruined by the daunting task of cleaning them. After that I became a tour guide at the paper mill… never, ever ask me how paper is made.
2.) I was voted most accident prone in high school, namely due to the fact that I was in a leg cast six times my senior year of high school. I went to prom in a wheelchair and popped wheelies on the dance floor. My years of gymnastics and running had caught up to me and my foot needed to heal. I usually bedazzled my casts with a hot glue gun and rhinestones, of course. I am still pretty accident prone, my grandma used to joke that she wanted to roll me up in bubble wrap – I don’t think that’s the worst idea ever.
3.) I hate showering. I blame the fact that I was on a swimming and diving team for eight years through high school and college and constantly had wet hair. For a girl who doesn’t like blow driers or curling, wet hair drives me crazy. I will go as physically long as possible without showering (or until Drew forces me to.) I am thankful that I work from home in sweatpants.
4.) Drew and I were the best of friends before we ever even considered dating. I had always had a little crush on him but we never, ever considered ourselves more than friends. This went on for three years and we talked every day either via AOL Instant Messenger or text. We even had a bet that we had to kiss just once before graduating college and moving on with our lives (just to see what it would be like.) Apparently our kiss was good because we have been together ever since… our relationship is built on a friendship first.
5.) If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I would probably choose Macaroni and Cheese (SpongeBob shaped.) I eat one box a week and I have gotten the cooking process down to a total science. It is my guilty pleasure and makes me feel like a big kid again. Seriously, I should add Mac and Cheese connoisseur to my resume… that’s a highly applicable skill, right?

I interned as an engineer at a paper plant (near Duluth) I could definitely talk paper with you! it is surprisingly complicated! haha
I love these fun facts about you. Numbers 2 & 3 sound just like Emily (must be the swimmer in both of you). Number 5 is definitely me. SpongeBob Mac and Cheese is the best. It’s too bad one box is only one serving! LOL!
