2. Share seven things about yourself.

Here goes:
1. I love putting together jigsaw puzzles. Nerdy, I know, but its nice to put together a puzzle and frame it for your wall. That's why I only choose puzzles that look artistic, like Thomas Kinkade or Van Gogh. I've done over 10 puzzles but only have 3 in my house. The largest one I've done was 2,000 pieces but one of my bucket list items is to complete the world's largest jigsaw puzzle, 24,000 pieces. It's too ugly for framing but boy would it be fun to put together.
2. I was born in Latrobe, PA. It was the same hospital that my mother, two uncles and grandfather were born at. Though I only lived in PA for six months of my life.
3. I never played sports in high school, instead I was in the colorguard. We also had winterguard as well which is like colorguard only without the marching band and we perform to regular music inside a gymnasium. I was the captain my senior year in high school and went on to perform in college as well. They were my best memories from high school.
4. I'm practically blind. My vision is 600/20, meaning what you can see at 600 ft I can only see at 20 feet. I've never wanted to do the laser eye surgery because my vision is still getting worse every few years. If it ever stays the same for more than three years I would consider doing the surgery. For now I just wear contacts.
5. I can't stand to let my food touch. It's something that got bad as an adult, I don't think it ever bothered me as a child. It's mostly because I don't like to taste different things at the same time. Corn and mashed potatoes? Disgusting. Whoever thought of the KFC bowls or the bag of Doritos with two flavors in them must have been trying to get under my skin. I have a system for my food touching too. For example, if you cook a pot of mixed vegetables it's okay to eat them all together because that's how they came. But if you cook peas in one pot and corn in another they can't touch on my plate. The one exception was our trip to Peru because I was eating those foods for the first time and didn't have expectations for how they would taste. I'm weird, I know.
6. I'm left-handed and most of my mom's side of the family is too. My grandfather would have been left-handed but back then they made you write right-handed unless you wanted your hand slapped with a ruler.
7. I had never ridden in a cab until I was about 25 years old. I had flown from NC to CT to see Brandon and his friend's car broke down so we had to call a cab to take us to the rental car agency.
