- I am the youngest, but tallest of the women in my family (by 6").

- I grew up on a farm my great-grandparents originally bought; my dad and his brothers still work it.

- Except for the summer I lived in London, I've lived in Iowa my entire life (and will probably never move out of state).

- But I've been to 44 of the 50 states.

- I was kissed by Dave Matthews sophomore year of college (he was wasted).

- I was hit by a moving car while rollerblading, did over $1K damage to the car, but only had scrapes and bruises (and a damn $5 ticket for rollerblading in the business district of my hometown).

- I've never broken any bones and have only stayed overnight in the hospital once (see above).

- Prior to my husband, my longest relationship was 3 months.

- I can touch my tongue to my nose.

- I scored a 24 on the ACTs when I took it in 7th grade. I scored a 30 when I took it for real. (I probably should have studied harder).

- I've been driving by myself since I was 14 (gotta love school permits and growing up in a rural area).

- I was the County Fair Queen the summer after I graduated high school.

- Everyone in my immediate family was either Valedictorian or Salutitorian of their high school class except me. I missed it by .002 (damn you Mindy Wolf, and your two study halls senior year).

- I have a great memory for random facts and was voted "most likely to win on Jeopardy" in high school.

- I have a tendency to overuse parenthesis (can you tell?)

- I hate raw apples, but will eat them any other way (apple sauce, apple pie, apple crisp, apple martinis...)
