Hi, My name is Jenny

So I haven't blogged in a while, and I'm actually at a loss for words (or interesting things to talk about). I figured since almost everyone has an 'about me' blog, I might as well do one! So here are 100 random facts about me! Enjoy :)

1. My name is Jenny and I'm a Pisces.
2. I'm originally from a small town called Farmersville. It's in the middle of nowhere.
3. I'm married to the most amazing man and love of my life.
4. I became apart of the military the day I starting dating my husband.
5. I'm currently living in Okinawa, Japan. It's such a beautiful island, but I miss home.
6. I love animals. We have a zoo. Two dogs, two cats.
7. I have, hands down, the most amazing and loving friends anyone could ask for. Even though we do not see each other all the time, when we are together it's as if nothing has ever changed.
8. My dream job is to be a storm chaser. Yes, I want to chase tornadoes for a living.
9. I'm obsessed with reality TV, especially anything on Bravo. I can't get enough of all the Housewives series.
10. I desperately want to start a family. Unfortunately, I think God has a different plan for us, and I'm learning to become okay with that.
11. I'm starting to really love photography. Hopefully I'll be getting my own camera soon, and I can start taking more amazing pictures of this island.
12. I really want to start going to church again. It's been a while, and I'm starting to feel disconnected from the Lord.
13. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Although, this year is a little different. I can't even find pumpkins on island.
14. I'm really trying to become a better homemaker. Going from working 40+ hours a week to unemployed takes some getting used to.
15. I have lost over 30 lbs since April. After high school, exercise was not a part of my routine. So needless to say, I'm working my hardest to get these extra pounds off. I have less than 2 months to lose 30 more. 
16. My husband and I are going to Hawaii in December. It's our anniversary/Christmas gift to each other. We just need to get away.
17.  I have an awesome family, most of the time. I miss my mommy like crazy though. 
18. I love baking! I might not be the best at it, but it makes me smile. And it passes the time.
19. My obsession currently is the beach. I've always been more of a "lake/river" girl, but the ocean is simply breathtaking. I can't seem to get enough.
20. I want to go to Australia before I die. It's number one on my list of places to go. Hopefully I can make it happen.
21. Number two on my list is the Maldives. If you have never heard of the Maldives, Google it. Two words: absolutely beautiful.
22. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life. I need a life plan, at least for my career.
23. I want four kids. At least.
24. I hate spiders. Every time I see one, it gives me the chills and I feel like things are crawling all over me.
25. I'm a military wife. Wherever the military sends my husband, I will follow. No questions asked. 
26. I hate drama. I tend to surround myself with people that like to avoid it. 
27. I miss high school. Most people didn't have a good high school experience. Fortunately for me, my graduating class was more of a family then just classmates. 
28. I've been to college, but failed to graduate. I also changed my major three times. I just have a hard time making up my mind.
29. I love dancing. It doesn't matter what genre, I just love it. But Salsa is definitely my favorite.
30. I think I was forced to grow up too fast. My daddy passed away when I was in the 6th grade, so I didn't have the luxury of living a normal childhood. But these days, I guess no one does. 
31. I dated my husband for two years before we got engaged. One of those years he was only home for 62 days due to a deployment.
32. I love tattoos. I have two now, and hopefully getting a third soon. It's going to be a half sleeve!
33. When my husband and I retire, we want to move to Canada and live on one of the lakes up there. Where the only form of transportation is using your boat to get to town.
34. I love snuggling. Especially when it's with my husband. Or my animals.
35. I have a shopping obsession. Not really for clothes, but for house decor. I guess that's when you know you are an adult.
36. This year will be the first Christmas that I haven't spent with my family. It's going to be hard, but I guess we will have to get used to it, because I'm sure this won't be the only Christmas.
37. I'm obsessed with candles. I find myself buying one at least every two weeks. And I burn them non stop. My candle of choice right now is Autumn Wreath.
38. I starting to fall in love with the gym. I used to hate working out, but I've learned to love it. It's especially good when you start to see results.
39. Ever since I met my husband, I've become more patriotic. I never used to keep up with war and such, but it has a whole new perspective when your husband is in the middle of it.
40. Autumn is my favorite season. Too bad Okinawa doesn't have an Autumn. None of the trees change color and it doesn't get cold. Makes me really miss Ohio.
41. I'm excited for our next adventure. I know we just moved to Okinawa six months ago, but three years goes fast. I keep wondering, where will we go next?
42. I plan on getting dive certified within the next year. This island has so much coral and beautiful fish to see. 
43. I miss having my besties around. I've made some friends here, but none of them compare to my girls back home. 
44. I love getting pedicures. You haven't lived, until you get a CoCok's pedi. So all my girl friends, please come visit so we can get them!
45. I love scrap-booking. I think I'm pretty good at it, except I'm so indecisive. It takes a few months for me to complete one.
46. Pink, black, and gray are my favorite colors. My husband is surprised when I buy clothes that aren't one of those three colors.
47. I secretly want to be a Reproductive Endocrinologist. Most people don't know, but we've had some issues conceiving. I've learned so much from reading and researching different things about the reproductive system. I think it would be great helping other couples conceive.
48. Nothing beats a hot bubble bath and a nice glass of Moscato. It's my "me" time.
49. I was a cheerleader from third grade to eighth grade. Then again my sophomore and junior years of high school. I didn't make it my senior year because I was too "mouthy".. aka my coach didn't like me.
50. I cry all the time. Not because something is wrong all the time, but because it just feels good to cry.
51. I really want to pay off all of our debts while we are over here. It would be fantastic going back to the States debt free.
52. I really want my family to come visit us in Japan. Hopefully it will happen soon.
53. I love singing. I cannot carry a tune, but it is a release for me. Especially if I'm mad or upset, listening to sad/angry songs really make me feel better.
54. I really need to work on my communication skills. When I get mad, I shut down and don't say what's on my mind. It's starting to become an issue.
55. I love the rain. Especially kissing in the rain. 
56. Thinking of 100 things about me is kind of difficult. I hate talking about myself. I'm usually the listener. 
57. I planned my wedding myself, with the help of my mom and bridesmaids. It was definitely stressful, but I could see myself doing it again. Not for myself, but for someone else. One of my friends needs to get engaged! 
58. I love thunderstorms. They always leave me speechless. It's almost like a "what's up" from God. Just to let us know He's watching.
59. I really wish this war would end. I know we are fighting for a better America, but it really depresses me to think of all the troops who have sacrificed for our freedom. And I really wish that others would realize that. As the saying goes, "If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them". 
60. I want to visit Italy one day. I want to drink lots of good wine and take a Gondola ride.
61. I'm a sucker for romance. Good thing I married the man I did!
62. Fishing is a favorite past time. I used to do it with my dad and brothers, and now I do it with my husband. 
63. I hate negative people. Although, I am negative sometimes, it's really a downer.
64. It sickens me to see all the hate in the world today, especially in the U.S. Why can't we all just get along? Life would be so much more simpler. 
65. I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. 
66. I wish I would have kept up with gymnastics. I think things would be different today.
67. I love to laugh. It really is the best medicine.
68. I don't really like the club scene anymore. I'd rather chill at a bar, or at a friends house. 
69. I truly think I found my soul mate. Not everyone does, and I consider myself extremely lucky. 
70. I'm slightly addicted to Facebook. Just sayin'.
71. I love watching the Jersey Shore. It's such a garbage show, but you get sucked in while watching it. It's sad; I feel like these people are my friends.
72. Same goes for Laguna Beach/The Hills. I feel like I've grown up with LC & Kristin. Pathetic, I know.
73. If I won the lottery, I would pay off all our debts and pay back my parents for all the money I've borrowed. Then I would donate a significant amount to all the animal shelters across the country. 
74. I really want a personal stylist. The goes for clothes and hair. I hate doing my hair in the morning.
75. I need to learn to forgive people more. I hold grudges and I hate that.
76. Biscuits and gravy is my favorite breakfast food. Oh Bob Evans, I miss you!
77. I should stop judging people. I know that it's not right to do, but I can't seem to not judge. Only He can judge you.
78. I have a fear of dying. Hopefully going back to church will erase this fear from my head. 
79. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. If it doesn't happen, there's a reason.
80. I love all kinds of music. It just depends on the day. But Country is probably my favorite. 
81. I still have my blanky from when I was born. I sleep with it every night. I guess it's a security thing.
82. I love the smell of my fabric softener. It reminds me of home.
83. High school football was the best. I have some of my favorite memories from Friday nights.
84. I'm no where near perfect, and I have learned from my mistakes. 
85. I hardly ever take off my wedding rings. The only time is to shower, or when I'm swimming in the ocean/lake.
86. I want extensions in my hair. But I don't want to spend the money. I would love to have short hair one day and long hair the next.
87. I think Americans should live life a little more like the Japanese. They have so much respect for each other. And the children just roam around by themselves without an adult. Children in America could never do that.
88. Someday, I want to actually graduate college. I want to have a degree so I can know what I'm doing with my life.
89. Sometimes I feel lost. I just have days where I have so many questions and no answers. 
90. I sometimes wish I was a kid again. They don't teach you how to be an adult in school.
91. Everybody Loves Raymond is one of the greatest shows ever. I can watch it over and over again.
92. I think one of the things I miss most about Ohio is the food. Sad, because Japan has so much great food.
93. When I have kids, a name I like for a girl is Madilyn Louis. Madilyn because it has both mine and Matt's name in it. Well my middle name anyways. 
94. A name for a boy would be Jacob Allen. 
95. I love pickles. Weird I know. And I'm not pregnant.
96. I love fresh flowers. Whether they are from my flower garden or from my hubby.
97. I'm an 80's baby. Although I wish I was in my twenties during the 80's.
98. The only thing I want out of life is to be happy.
99. I'm somewhat random, but that makes me, me.
100. I've gone through a ton of changes this past year. I've got married, I moved across the world, and now I'm just enjoying life. That's all I can do.
