Fun Facts you didn't know you wanted to know.

I feel like it's a bit vain to assume you want to know more about me... but I'm going to go ahead and do some assuming. I mean, you DID click on this page. You MUST want to know SOMETHING... right?

​

If you're looking for my author bio, you'll find that on the homepage... but if you're looking for some random facts, you're in the right place!

​

Let's jump in then, shall we?

​

  • I have a degree in family studies and a certification as a PREP instructor.

  • Before becoming a family life major, I was also a dance major and a humanities major. I also almost became a finance major, a music, dance, theatre major... and a French minor. I pretty much changed my major up until the minute BYU allowed me.

  • I am very indecisive. See above.

  • I don't like cake but I love ice cream. And let's be honest, I'll still eat the cake if it's in front of me.

  • I am the 2nd of 6 children.

  • I love love stories and believe that all books deserve one.

  • I have driven cross-country multiple times.

  • I danced in the London New Year's Day parade. It was POURING rain.

  • I am a photographer (or was, before writing became more time-consuming.)

  • I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

  • I looooove pasta. It's an unhealthy obsession I have no intention of curbing.

  • I hate conflict.

  • I hate turning left into traffic.

  • I never wanted to be a writer growing up. But I was a voracious reader.

  • I used to be terrified of being abducted (as in kidnapped) but only just learned that my family always believed I was terrified of being abducted by aliens. 

  • I spend my weekends exploring the mountains with my husband or (more often) playing games with our families.

  • My husband and I were married in 2014 and have four kiddos.

  • I'm a night owl, but I want to be an early bird.

  • I have attempted to start a couch to 5k program about ten times. I've never made it to the last week, but one day. ONE DAY I will!

  • I really like cheese. It's kinda weird.

  • HGTV is probably my favorite channel. 

  • AND. I'm very impressed if you made it this far! Thanks for taking a moment (or, like, 12) to get to know me!
