1. I love the library. People give me funny looks when they see me reading library books, but I don't care. I absolutely adore the entire experience of going to the library, browsing all the wonderful books, choosing practically as many as I want (I still haven't figured out if there's a limit to how many books you can check out) and bringing them home to figure out which one to start reading. And all this for FREE! It's one of my favorite activities. Also, I love the smell. (Carrie Bradshaw)
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off has always been my favorite movie. I can literally quote it from beginning to end. On one of my first dates with my husband I asked him what his favorite movie was and he said "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" without any hesitation. I was in love.
3. When I ask for your opinion on something, I almost always do the opposite. I'm not trying to be contrary, I just know what I wanted you to say and you said the wrong thing. Don't be a baby and let it hurt your feelings.
4. I'm a morning person. Most days I'm up by 4:30am and in bed by 9:00pm.
5. I love smiling. It's my favorite.
6. I hate surprises. I like to know what I'm getting myself into at all times. It took a while for Gabe to believe me on this one.
7. I met my husband on Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas when I was in college. At the time he lived in Denver and I lived in Los Angeles and although he visited me a few times after the trip, we lost touch soon after. I ran into him 5 years later in Venice Beach (he had moved to LA) and we've been together ever since.
Now I'd like to pass this award on to the following beautiful bloggers. Check them out!

Im following you now
Yay on the award!! You so deserve it! But girl, 4:30 each morning?? How do you do it? Lots and lots of coffee?
These are a few of the reasons I love you so much! It definitely took me a while to believe the part about hating surprises(now she picks out her own presents).
Aw, great story about how you met your husband! I hate surprises, too. I'm too much of a control freak to enjoy them!
What a very much deserved award! Love, love, love your blog! That is a lovely story about you and your husband... And I know almost every line to that movie as well! Plus, I cannot believe you get up that early. I wish I was a morning person!
