Insider Information (Read at your own risk)

I figure most of you who read this blog know me or are somewhat acquaintances with me, but for those who don't know me I thought I'd share a few fun tid bits of information about me.

1. I'm the eldest child of 5. Mixed family. This is always interesting to explain to people who don't have divorced parents or blended families. I have  a biological sister who has the same dad as me. A step sister, and a step brother that is not blood related only related through marriage. Then I have a half brother that has the same mother as me. Gets confusing I know, but 2 Christmases, 4 sets of grandparents, is always interesting.

2. I grew up in a little place that I like to call somewhere between Texas and Mexico. 30 minutes away from the border yet so far away from what the rest of Texas looks like. I grew up next to cotton fields, cacti, snacks consisted of lucas and hot cheetos, hot sauce is it's own food group, graduated with maybe 10 white people the rest were Hispanic, raspas, palm trees, breakfast tacos are the bomb NO WHERE else could ever compare, and finally where the myth of the chubacabra does exist!! lol ok not really but people swear it does.

3. Went to college literally in Amish town in the middle of no where Iowa, called Graceland (I call the bubble)  University. No it has no relations to Elvis, but our cross country team led everyone to believe it did by chanting GO ELVIS before every race.

4. What drew me to Graceland you must ask? Opportunities. They say Iowa is the land of opportunity right???? hmmm idk about that but I jumped at the opportunity for the best xc/track scholarship I could get and get the proper education (that's the point of college right??)

5. If you hadn't noticed by my other blogs I'm obsessed with running and anything related. I can spend hours trolling the Internet for this stuff. NO It's not really an OBSESSION I see it as a my PASSION.

6. My favorite animal is an elephant. Not really sure why they are just interesting,beautiful sincere creatures. I actually got to ride one not too long ago pretty cool.

7. My nickname growing up was opossum because I would fake being asleep at nap time then go play. Boy I don't know what I was thinking skipping nap time I'd kill for it now. Kids treasure nap time while you can.

8. Believe it or not I used to go fishing, sit up in a tree stand with my dad while he hunted, catch craw fish in a river, go on four wheeler rides by the lake, yeah I was a little bit of a tomboy at one point. Not that I'm that girlie now but nowhere near sitting up in a deer stand now.

9. Cheez Its I'd probably do anything for a box of them, well that and chocolate.

10. I was afraid of ET (yes the alien kid movie) I was terrified that and the tooth fairy.

Well that's some fun information clearly that's not everything about me, but just some.

Till Next Time,

Alice
