For lack of a better alliteration term, today is “Meet the Author Monday”. If anyone has a better title, please feel free to share. I know that many of you have heard my story and with that already know many details about my life…But on days like today, I feel I need a break from my emotional, personal muses to just give you some basic info. Maybe I am just too tired to put into words how I feel today, maybe I just don’t have the emotional capacity to write, maybe I’m just being plain lazy. Whatever the reason, I felt the need to post but could not find the words to describe how I am feeling today.

So here it is, ten (random) things about me:

  • I have lived in Indiana my entire life of 25 years.
  • My middle name is Ann.
  • Nate’s and my “dating anniversary” is November 20th (2010), our “engagement anniversary” is June 23rd (2012), and our wedding anniversary is May 11th (2013).
  • Nate and I were exactly 2 months apart, my birthday is March 17, 1989 and his is May 17, 1989. I always told him I was such a cradle robber being 2 months older than him.
  • I once took a high school pottery class with a broken arm, my pottery pieces were interesting to say the least.
  • I played soccer from when I was 4 until I was 22.
  • I have a beagle named Ginger who was my 13th birthday present.
  • I am the oldest sibling of two, I have a younger brother and sister who are my best friends.
  • I am a huge chocoholic.
  • I don’t believe that life is fair, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad either.

My hope is that on future Mondays I can answer some “audience” questions, if anyone has any questions they would like to send me?  If you hate it, let me know, but please be charitable in your comments. I’ll be the first to admit I’m still a little fragile and very emotional these days. I do know this is a different style of my writing than I usually tend to do.
