the random 25

Figured I need to spice this baby up and add a little interest, I snatched this from my facebook page. It's about six months old so I had to update a few things. Enjoy.

twenty-five random things about jaclyn

1. my favorite sport to watch is probably bull-riding. it's so exciting and dangerous!
2. i was born with what they call a mother's line. it's a line down the middle of my stomach, and in my case one side is dark and the other side is lighter. it's my birthmark.
3. josh and i plan on adopting a child someday.
4. i have an 18lb cat.
5. someday, i will go to a george strait concert.
6. the first and only boy i ever dated is also my husband. i am very thankful for this, he is wonderful.
7. i can't wait for the holiday season - black friday, cutting down the christmas tree, decorating. but once january gets here i could care less for winter.
8. rummage sales are one of my favorite things about summer. along with sunshine, warmth, driving with the windows down, the lake, flip-flops, etc.
9. my dream house is a 100 year old cottage, with wood floors, arched doorways and a flower garden in the yard. have you seen it?
10. i love taylor swift. not many people can say they had a bestselling album at age 16 - where they wrote all the songs and played their own guitar.
11. pearls are one of my favorite pieces of jewelery.
12. power tower is my favorite ride at valley-fair. but i can't get my husband to ride it.
13. my nursing boards were the most nerve-wracking test i have ever taken. but i passed in 85 questions!
14. i get up at 0415 for work (i commute one hour) but i am lucky to get off my shift at 1430 everyday.
15. when i was little, i was obsessed with laura ingalls wilder. in 5th grade, our family vacation was to mansfield, missiouri - where laura ingalls wilder lived when she was an adult. ironically, i do not remember ever watching any one entire episode of little house on the prairie.
16. i like to cook/bake. but i am unwilling to start anything in the kitchen unless the kitchen is clean beforehand. i really hate cleaning up after cooking projects.
17. ice cream is my favorite. vanilla with chocolate and bananas, strawberry haagen dazs, maple nut...it's all so good.
18. i would love to travel the world, thankfully my husband is not entirely opposed to this. the only problem is money. so for now i say 'someday'.
19. one of my favorite movies is "french kiss" with meg ryan. it is so funny and quotable, even my hubby enjoys it.
20. i love my impala!
21. my grandma is from japan. so, as my brother used to put it, i am a japanese quarter.
22. growing up i spent all my summers living in a camper with my threes siblings and my parents, this was due to my dad's job. i've been lucky enough to have lived in illinois, wisconsin, indiana, wyoming, washington, texas, and michigan - as well as a variety of other places.
23. i love me some dr. pepper.
24. i tried on my favorite pair of jeans today and they fit! summer is great for keeping a person active and loosing the winter weight.
25. one of my favorite songs is "all i need" by mat kearney. it's so beautiful, sad, and romantic.

yeah, i did tell you that. and when my birthday comes along i'll pay for your ticket and you pay for mine, and we'll go to that George Strait concert. it'll be our birthday presents to each other... maybe when i actually have a job and can afford your ticket. or you could just buy me one!
