11 random things about me:
1) I've been skydiving once.  It was amazing!!! I had a perfect landing.  No joke!
2) I love ketchup!! I especially like to dip grilled cheese sandwiches in it.

5) Country music is my new obsession!! I'm addicted.
6) I always have music on!!!!

9) I ran my first 5k this month.
10) I'm still stuffed from my Thanksgiving dinner .... but I could go for a slice of pumpkin pie. Oddly enough, it was the only kind of pie missing from our feast.  Boooo!
11) I'm going to Japan in April for my cousin's wedding.  It will be Cherry Blossom time!
