Sunday Social: The 5s

This week's questions:

1. 5 things you want us to know about you:

• I am so grateful to God everyday that I wake up for all of the blessings in my life. Life itself is such an amazing gift and to have the incredible family, friends, education, job, and life that I do humbles me everyday. 
• Singing is my passion and has been since I sang my first song when I was 2 years old. I can't even explain how I feel when I sing, it's honestly just like my happiness. I love anything to do with music, especially musicals and actresses like Idina Menzel and Lea Michele who are now superstars but have their roots in Broadway.
• I have accomplished so many of my major goals and dreams in the year 2014. I am hoping to accomplish two more in 2015 -- to become both a homeowner and a mother. 
• I am obsessed with USA Women's Artistic Gymnastics. I used to do gymnastics until I was 9 years old (my parents thought it was too expensive), and I've always wished I could've stayed with it. I follow it everyday of the year and I am lucky enough to be able to attend meets when they are near me. I have met a very good friend through the gymternet and we are going to Nationals together next year and have the best conversations about gymnastics everyday. It's awesome having someone who understands your obsession.
• I have so many amazingly inspirational women in my life who I have been able to look up to. From gymnasts, to teachers who became mentors and friends, to my incredible mother, I'm so blessed to know each and every one of them.

2. 5 favorite things about blogging:

• I love being able to journal about my life and am happy that I will have this to look back on as I grow older.
• I love reading about other people's lives, especially friends that live far away. It makes it easier to keep up with what is going on in people's lives.
• Doing posts about things that I love (i.e. fall) makes me even more excited for the things to happen.
• I love link ups that give me ideas for subjects of blog posts. I'm not the most creative person in the world, so the ideas really help me think of subjects for posts.
• I have met so many nice people through Blogger and I love keeping up with their pages.

3. 5 things you are doing before the year is over:

• Going to New York City with 3 of my friends at the end of September to celebrate our graduations from nursing school.
• SEEING IDINA MENZEL IN IF/THEN WHILE IN NYC!
• Going to a Packer game with my family in October. It will be my dad and stepmom's first game and it's going to be SO much fun.
• Freaking out with the gymternet in October for the entire week of World Championships. 
• Getting off RN orientation (late October/early November) and beginning to work on my own, which I'm very nervous about but also excited about.
