Blog Star

Today, I'm linking up with Mrs. Monologues for her Blog Star post! I'm supposed to share a little bit about myself and my blog, but I don't really feel like rambling on about my life story. Therefore, I've decided to use this A-Z format that I've seen on other blogs before to help you get to know me.

Getting to Know Me from A-Z 

Age: 25
Bedtime: Usually around 10:30...I know, we're old people
College: Florida State University
Dogs: Black Lab (Lola) and a German Shorthair Pointer (Sadie)
Everyday Necessity: Diet Coke
From: Jacksonville, Florida
Gold or Silver?: Usually white gold, but my wedding band (that was passed down from my great-grandma) is a mixture of white and yellow gold
Holiday: Christmas and Thanksgiving
Ice Cream: Chocolate chip cookie dough
Job Title: English Teacher
Karaoke Go-To Song: Sweet Home Alabama
Live: Saint Augustine, Florida
Movie: Steel Magnolias
Night or Morning Person?: Morning person...I suck at staying up late
Outdoors Lover?: Yes! I love being outside...fishing, hunting, hiking, pretty much anything.
Pet Peeves: People who do not understand proper etiquette or dress code for certain occasions. When girls wear shirts that show their bra straps...hello, they invented strapless bras for a reason. People who always do the bare minimum at their job and then complain incessantly about it.
Quirks: I have to hit the lock button on my car keys at least 3 times before walking away from my car. I have a mental checklist of everything I need for work that I have to go through every morning before backing out of my driveway. I don't put milk in my cereal.
Restaurant: Carrabbas
Sports: The only "sport" I ever really played well was volleyball. I guess that's what happens when you are left-handed and already 5'10" in the 7th grade. My main passion for 15 years was always dance. 
Teams: My #1 sports team is obviously the FSU Seminoles! College football is really the only sport that I care about. I also grew up loving the Atlanta Braves. I don't really like the NFL, but I guess I technically "cheer" for the Jacksonville Jaguars even though they are terrible.
Urban or Rural?: Definitely rural. Sometimes I do enjoy certain aspects of the city, but the country is ultimately my favorite. I guess I technically live in a "city", but since I have to drive past cow pastures just to get to the grocery store, I consider the area that I live in as rural.
Vacation: I love traveling in Europe. I have already been to England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and France. I can't wait to go back and visit again!
Weather: I love a beautiful sunny day. I mean, I do live in the Sunshine State after all :)
Xtra Special Fact About You: I was named Jacki after my uncle (mom's brother) who was killed by a drunk driver when he was 12 years old. I was never able to meet him, but I have always been honored to have such a special namesake.
Yogurt (Fro-yo) Toppings: Rainbow sprinkles
Zoo Animal: Lion...not only is it my sorority's mascot, but I just simply love lions
