30 Fun Facts…Because I’m 30!!

Well today is kind of a big day for me…I have officially moved on from my 20’s and am now part of the 30’s club!! I wasn’t really sure what kind of post to do for this milestone birthday so I thought it would be fun to share 30 facts about me you may, or may not already know.

I’ll start with some basics…

1. I have two little girls…Charli is 6 and Leighton is 4 and they are seriously my best little besties!!
2. My girls are exactly 2 years and 3 days apart. We wanted them to be about 2 years apart and we got our wish, they actually both had the same due date, September 18th. And they weighed the exact same amount when they were born 7 lbs 5 ounces. They are truly besties and I wouldn’t want it any other way!!
3. I have a husband named Chad who is seriously the best guy I know…I would definitely be living in some sort of weird chaos if it weren’t for him!!
4. We live in Golden, CO…my husband and I are both from here and our family is all close by so this is definitely home for us.
5. We just built a new home in Golden and are so so in love with everything about it!!
6. Chad and I got married when I was only 23 and he was 25…I hadn’t even graduated college yet but I guess when you know, you know!!
7. We technically had 3 wedding celebrations…1 in a small church here in Golden, the 2nd on the beach in Mexico and the 3rd was a bigger reception again here in CO when we got back from Mexico!! We called it the month of Chad and Nichole!! It was a hair exhausting but also the most amazing month ever!!
8. I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver in December of 2012 with a degree in Marketing and minor in Communications
9. We found out we were pregnant with Charli exactly 1 year after getting married!!
10. I am a Scorpio and a pretty true one. If your not familiar with zodiac signs check out the meaning of a Scorpio here.
11. Favorite Food: Wine??? I don’t really have a favorite but love trying new restaurants and new things!!
12. Another fun fact…I’m lactose intolerant which makes my love for dairy (especially cheese and ice cream) a bit more of a task to manage.
13. Drink of choice: Water or wine hands down. Lemon water to be more specific and any form or red wine!! Every once in a while I’ll throw in a dirty vodka martini or shot or tequila if I’m feeling crazy!!
14. Secret food weakness: Chocolate chip cookies (crispy of course) and BBQ chips. I could probably live on these two items…along with lemon water and wine of course!!
15. Blogging isn’t my full time job. I’ve actually worked as Product Manager in the interior design industry for the last 7 years. I travel a LOT for work so if you always see me on an airplane that’s why.
16. Vacation of choice: Either a beach or wine country.
17. Happy place: Right now I just want to be at home all the time with my family. We have been working on our new house for the last 2 years so now that we are living there its hard to get me to leave.
18. I’ve never in my life had a cavity. I don’t know why I’m so proud of this but I will tell anyone who asks (or just anyone, people don’t usually ask this question)!! I actually have a dentist appointment this Friday so fingers crossed I can keep up this streak.
19. Favorite music: I could listen to Christmas music all year round, I just love everything about it!! I also love Christian music…I’m not particularly religious but something about it is very calming to me.
20. I’m 5’4″. I get this question a lot on Instagram so thought I would make it public knowledge. I would love to be 5’6″ but the cards just didn’t fall that way so instead I wear a lot of shoes with a heel to give me that 2″ boost.
21. I have a love, hate relationship with working out!! It always makes me feel so good but sometimes I just want to lay on the couch and chill!!
22. Favorite workout: Currently my Peloton…I just got it on Saturday and have used it everyday. I am also a huge fan of Barre classes.
23. Top 3 places to shop: Nordstrom, Shopbop (they are affiliated with Amazon so I can get things in like a day) and Revolve.
24. Bad habit: wiggling my feet at night to fall asleep…calming to me but makes my husband CRAZY especially when I curl up to him and do it.
25. Love language: Cuddles all the way. I love cuddling with my hubby and both my girls on a daily basis. If I could have all 3 of them in my bed every night I would be one happy lady. Not sure my husband would love that as much as I would though!!
26. More Kids?? Yes on so many levels and no on so many levels. We are a pretty solid crew of 4 right now but who knows what the future holds.
27. Mood brightener: Fresh flowers, cuddles and a bath with a glass of wine.
28. Favorite show: A Million Little Things. Thursdays is my favorite night of the week because of that show!!
29. Favorite season: You guessed it…Fall!! My basic definitely comes out in this season and I am all about Uggs, PSL’s and sweaters!!
30. Ok last one…and its a weird one!! Every time I drive over a railroad track I touch glass. I have no idea where or when I started this but I have been doing it for years and now my kids have picked up this weird habit and even call me out if I don’t do it.

OMG are you still here?!? Maybe I should have done this when I turned like 21 because man this is a long list. Well I hope you enjoyed a bit of a deeper view into the life of me!!
