It seems like the 5 Things Fridays are the posts to have, so why not jump the bandwagon. I haven't done a 'get to know me' post like this in a while, so I thought I was overdue... hope you enjoy
1. Though I don't talk about him much, I have an older brother. He's four and half years older than me and lives in Seattle. He's been out there for nearly thirteen years now, so we don't get to see each other often.
2. When we were little, my brother had an imaginary friend. Her name was Joanie, and apparently I wasn't creative enough to 'see' my own, so I stole his. Little sisters, gotta love them!

5. Surprise! You knew I had to be going somewhere with all this sibling talk - Ashlynn is going to be a big sister! I'm just ending my 1st Trimester as I'm 13 weeks today, and while there is so much to catch up on, I'm most excited about the life long relationship Ashlynn will get to have having a little brother or sister.
What do you say, I think she's pumped!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

3. My mom was so great about allowing us to try new things and find activities that interest us and built our confidence and self esteem. We took swim lessons and karate lessons together and I also did gymnastics, piano, Brownies, soccer, cheerleading, field hockey, track, and even played the saxophone in the 5th grade band. That's not including the roller skating lessons I begged to take (seriously) and the week long "baton twirling camp" I attended (even more serious).
4. While we aren't physically close anymore living across the country, my brother and I were very close growing up. Some of my greatest childhood memories are building lego houses, playing camping on the stairs, going to Disney World (my brother was our unofficial tour guide always memorizing the lastest Fodor's Guide... at age 10!), being woken up early Christmas morning by him climbing into my bed asking what I thought Santa brought me while we waited for the okay to come downstairs (and this carried on way past the age he believed in Santa, but I still did), and of course watching movies like Star Wars, Goonies, Gremlins, Flight of the Navigator, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles more times than I could ever count, because that's what happens with older brothers.
