5 Fun Facts

IMG_3927 IMG_4196 IMG_4042Happy Monday! We had a blast celebrating Brooke’s 1st Birthday this weekend and I can’t wait to share pictures with you from her party. However, I did want to give myself one day to go through them all, so today, I thought I would share 5 fun facts about myself since I haven’t really written an “about me” type post in a long time. Here we go:

 

ONE: I graduated college in three years. I started taking college classes my Junior year of High School so by the time I made it to college, I already had 24 credit hours. One semester I even took, 21 hours! It was slightly crazy, but manageable because I mixed in some easier classes. By graduating in three years, it allowed me and Kevin to graduate at the same time and get married two months after that. I had the best time in college and met some of best girl friends I have – also Kevin played baseball in college so I got to travel around and watch him play a lot. Oh, and I minored in Economics for fun… because I really enjoy it / i’m weird like that.

 

TWO: I am married to the pickiest eater ever. Really. He has never tried ketchup. His diet consists of foods a 5 year old would most likely eat. Thus, we don’t have a super complex meal plan that we work with over at the Clarke house. We like hamburgers, hotdogs, spaghetti, tacos, mac n cheese, pb&js… you know, the basics.

 

THREE: On Sundays, a lot of times, we skip dinner and go get Ice Cream. We started this a couple years ago and stopped for a little bit after Brooke was born, but have been back on this habit for awhile lately. We are eating Orange Leaf a lot right now, but we love a classic Dairy Queen too.

 

FOUR: I was on swim team in high school and swam competitively for many years before that. I also cheered for four years and played softball for a few years. However, there is not really an athletic bone in my body – unless you count shopping. I can shop with the best of them.

 

FIVE: I’m horrible at remembering what light switch does what and I have to stop and think about my left and my right. We have lived in our house for over two years and I still have to think about it before I turn on a light. It just really doesn’t come automatic for me.

 
I would love to learn more about you, share 5 things about yourself in the comments!

    I’m awful with the light switch thing too!! Sometimes, I’ll try 5 different switches and it’ll look like I’m having a light show in the bathroom! hahaha 😉

I recently learned about Texas Virtual Schools, a tuition-free public virtual school in Texas that provides Texas-certified teachers, accredited curriculum, personalized learning plans, and individualized support for students.

For families looking for flexibility without having to create and manage every aspect of their child’s education on their own, this is an option worth exploring.
