30 things about me!

Today is the day. I am no longer in my twenties. Jeez that was hard to say. It’s funny because I still feel like I just finished up high school or college. I don’t feel like this adult that I apparently am. I thought we could do something fun today where you get to know me a little bit more.  So how about 30 things you may have not known about me.

1. I am a cat lady. I have two beautiful but crazy cats. Dora is my anxious scardy cat and Zoey is my crazy into everything, sour but sweet cat. I often call her a sour patch kid because she reminds me so much of the commercial. You cannot stay mad at her.
    
2. I had a goal to break the millennial stereotype and buy a house on my own before I turned thirty. I did this when I was 28 and this is one of my proudest accomplishments to date.
    
3. I grew up in a really small town in Massachusetts. People joke that Plainville is Massachusetts’s version of Pleasantville.
    
4. I had a quarter life crisis and moved to Savannah, GA for two years. Those two years were the best decision I ever made.
    
5. I’m an aunt.
    
6. I always said I wanted to live 5 different places before I settled down and decided where I wanted to plant my roots. I’ve lived in Boston, London, Savannah, France and Rhode Island. Before settling down about 10 minutes from where I grew up.
    
7. I love to learn. I have two degrees and would be a perpetual student if student loans weren’t so dang expensive.
    
8. Weekend Craft started as a hobby to show my family and friends how I made things I was selling at craft shows.
    
9. I am a graphic designer who designs specifically social content as my 9-5.
    
10. I have a fear of frogs and toads.  
     
11. I grew up always having to share my birthday. My sister is the 9th, I’m the 11th and now my sister in law is the 13th. #GeminiPower

16. I’ve had to speak in front of 2,500 people more than once.
     
17. On my 14th birthday my dad drove me to the grocery store and got me a job. I worked there for 5 years.
     
18. I graduated with a 4.0 from graduate school and it was one of the most challenging things I ever did.
     
19. I worked at Restoration Hardware in college. Which helped influence my style. Man I wish I had that 40% off discount now.
