25, no wait, 24 random things

If you’re on Facebook, you have probably seen the rapid notes spreading around with 25 random things you never knew about your friends. Whether it be that your best friend loves rocky road ice cream but hates marshmallows, your brother has a secret desire to learn how to salsa dance, or your classmate is ready to quit school and start having some babies. These lists are meant to be random and inform the reader of 25 things that you never knew about the author. So, after being tagged by many friends, I decided to make a list about myself. Since I didn’t want to completely conform to the trend and copy everyone else, I decided to be different. I made a list of 24 random things about me. ;-) Hope you enjoy!


1. I’ve been called Mich or Michie since I was a little girl..the only people that still call me Michelle are my sister and my professors.
2. David and I found a stray hamster on his driveway on New Years, we kept him, named him Percy (after UF footballer Percy Harvin), and now he lives with David in Gville!
3. I am a cheap lady..I will find the best deals and make the most of each dollar. I definitely make the most of my resources.
4. I went to six Gator football games in the fall and I don’t even go to UF.  The only home game I couldn’t make it to, David got tickets in the FIRST row!
5. I cut my hair way too short in the summer and it’s finally grown out to the perfect length.
6. I think Estela Falcon is one of the most loving and selfless women I know. We have been APFL’s (accountability partners for life) for almost 6 years and I couldn’t ask for a better one!
7. I’m obsessed with looking at wedding photography and looking at the different styles (Studio 222 is one of my absolute favorites!) I seriously lust after the thought of becoming a professional photographer…one day it will happen!
8. I’ll admit that I was one of those girls who squealed when Edward Cullen (and Bella and Alice and Jasper and Emmett and Charlie and Jacob, etc) first appeared on the movie screen for the midnight showing of Twlight and I’m not ashamed ;-)
9. I was blessed with one of the best Bible studies all through out high school with the best leader and the most wonderful Godly women. I learned so much from them through out the 4 years.
10. Joining Phi Lamb was one of the best decisions I made at UCF. It’s amazing to see how God has blessed the sorority and I can not wait to see how we grow! All of the girls are unique and so sweet and my Big Sis is amazing!
11. I plan on taking many, many trips in the future, just my husband and I.
12. I’m going to learn how to write calligraphy and then offer my services for wedding invitations sometime in my life.
13. I absolutely love watching my niece grow up and being an active part of her life. I can’t wait to have long conversations with her in the future.
14. I’m going to be an elementary school teacher in a couple years and the thought of setting up my classroom, meeting my students, and creating lesson plans is exciting!
15. Being friends with Staci Stephens taught me so much about life and loving the Lord. Her unique ministry changed so many people and it was amazing to see it help transform lives. I miss her more everyday. (http://www.stacistephens.com)
16. I worked at Wycliffe Bible Translators full time over the summer. Wycliffe translates the Bible into all of the world’s languages and allows all people to have the Word in their mother tongue. It’s an amazing ministry and I loved being a part of it.
17. I love my family! and my Mom’s cooking! and when Faith opens my door and yells “Chelle!!” each morning! (She created the name chelle for me) love
18. I’m starting to learn to enjoy running. Right now, it’s no fun at all but I’m going through a Couch-to-5k training program and I hope to enjoy it after the 8 weeks.
19. I really hope that in the future, me and my high school lady friends (Kara, Jenna, Julie, Jiff) will have reunions and chat about our kids and husbands and careers and our lives.
20. I just learned what the word ‘edification’ meant earlier this year..now I’m on the Phi Lamb edification committee with two encouraging girls and love it!
21. I stalk a lot of blogs and can tell you some life stories about people I have never met. hmm, I wonder if I have any stalkers on my blog.
22. Ever since I was a safety patrol in 5th grade stationed at the car loop, I’ve become infatuated with car handles and now appreciate some handles over others. Mini-vans have the best handles…weird, I know.
23. I taught Junior Achievement for Elementary students for the first time last semester and am doing it again this semester and I love it! One of my favorite memories was when I was teaching the 2nd graders about taxes and I asked “Can anyone tell me who pays taxes?” and a cute little boy answered “uhh..taxi drivers!”
24. My favorite ice cream is Publix’s Black Jack Cherry frozen yogurt..it is so yum!
