Happy (almost) Birthday to Me

Hi, my name is Allison. 

And unless you've been living under a rock OR ignoring me, you'd know that I turn 23 tomorrow! My favorite holiday=my birthday. That and Christmas. Anyways. Maybe I'll get tired of celebrating my birthday and making sure everyone knows about it as I get older, but I hope not!
So in honor of my 23rd birthday, here are 23 things you may not know about me!

• I love all things pink. This is inclusive of all things Lilly and other designer things that I will one day buy/receive.

• I take way too many selfies. (with Laney and while driving) #oops

• I don't know how to curl my hair--you know the wavy curls that are in--but I was born with realllyyy curly hair. That's why it's ALWAYS straight!

• I eat icing for breakfast sometimes. Just a giant spoon of icing. 

• Which is why I'm always complaining that I need to lose 5-10 pounds. At least I'm admitting I have a problem.

• I hate to clean and don't even own a vacuum cleaner.  For the record though, I have an iron, Joshua just had to buy the actual ironing board. (Hint: I never iron and the man would iron his socks if I wouldn't tease him about it)

• I'm addicted to Grande Iced Vanilla Macchiatos with an extra pump of vanilla

• I love my puppychild, Laney, but will never stop trying to convince Joshua that she needs a puppy brother/sister so she won't be spoiled. He keeps saying no.

• I (recently) love wearing red lipstick.

• I frequently talk to Laney like she can understand me and answer me. Spoiler Alert: She cannot.

• I'm mostly a diva, but I care about people too.

• I can't wait to be a homeowner. Josh: you make the money and I will spend it all decorating. Ok? Sounds like a plan to me!

• I'd love to make a business out of telling people what looks good and what doesn't. Can that be a thing?

• I'm clumsy and drop my iPhone ALL the time. 

• I can't own expensive sunglasses. Like RayBans (even though I want them so bad). They will likely be stepped on, sat on, or lost.

• I really really want to go to Europe.

• My favorite movie (this week) is Father of the Bride.

• My mom, little sisters, and me all wear the same size clothes. It's like having four closets to shop from!

• "BAE" gets on my nerves. Like it doesn't make sense people, stop saying it.

• I love love love little kid movies. Give me Disney over a horror movie any day.

• I had horribly tragic fashion sense and hair style choices as a kid growing up in the 90s. Like it was bad.

• I'm the oldest of three (and sometimes don't look or act like it) #notsorry

• I love LOVE--which is why I like planning weddings and can't wait to get married. Oh and plus I love Josh too, duh. 

Yay for being almost 23!

My Life in Numbers

I did somewhat of a countdown post before, but this one is dedicated to all things counting down. First, Happy July! Only the best month ever because it's my birthday month!

• My 23rd birthday is now only 11 days away! I usually have everything figured out--like what I want, how I want to celebrate. This year, not so much. Like I REALLY DON'T HAVE A DETAILED LIST LIKE USUAL! All I know is that I want to get brunch. Seems like (in my old(er) age I'm getting easier to please--Joshua  and the family would probably beg to differ. 

• My 1 year Work-iverssary (is that a thing) is exactly a week away. I have officially been in the big girl working world for a year. I get 10 vacation days after the 8th and I can't wait! I have so many trips coming up, but at the same time I'm super stingy with these days.

• Ellzey Family Vacation (I'm only attending like two days--like I said STINGY) is in about two weeks! Yay for beach trips!

• My super cool cousin and his even cooler fiance get married in 2 months and 25 days in Maine! Yep-family vacation/reunion round 2. 

• Joshua turns 24 (aka old man status) in 3 months and 2 days!

• Our 3rd annual Pittsburgh trip is in 4 months and 27 days (which doesn't seem like that far away) and our 6 year dating anniversary in in 4 months and 28 days! Seriously can't wait!

Well that seems like enough countdowns for now, but seriously how fun is the rest of the year going to be?! I want time to slow down and hurry up at the same time. Can that be a thing?
