some random things you should know...

My name is Alex
I'm 23 (almost 24) and live in beautiful Southern Oregon

Nothing in life has made me happier than the day I became a mommy

{my wedding day was a very close second}

don't worry, my husband would say the same thing :)

I'm addicted to chapstick...berts bees in particular, but in a crunch, anything will do

The labels on the food in my cupboards MUST be facing outwards.
It really bothers me to see the nutrition facts showing
{part of this OCD-ness may be related to the fact that I have clear glass cabinets}

I find it physically impossible to open a can of olives without eating at lest a few

I watch highly intellectual shows...like those on the bravo network such as The Real Housewives

{yes, every season}

and Million Dollar Listing

I love diet coke out of the fountain with a short straw...this is very important. I think I may have a fear of the super long straws poking me in the back of the throat...maybe.

I use to really enjoy watching scary movies, but NOT anymore!

I really, really love the beach.

Especially the type of beach where you can actually get in the water.

I talk fast, but I don't realize it.

I consider ice cream to be one of the major food groups.
{It is, isn't it?}

I'm clumsy, and I get embarrassed easily. This is not a good combination.

I enjoy reading celebrity smut
{courtesy of my US Weekly subscription, thanks SIL :)}
 much more than I care to admit.

I have no idea what I want to be when I "grow up"
but if it involves crafting I think I'll be happy :)
