Over the last few month&#8217;s I&#8217;ve noticed various <i>Five Things</i> posts around the blogosphere <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{like <a href="http://www.schuelove.com/2013/03/5-things.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>}</i></span> and since I was nominated <strike>a second time</strike> for a <a href="http://icecreamandfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2012/08/liebster-blog-award.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liebster Blogger Award</a>&nbsp; by Casey from <a href="http://www.truecoloursblog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i>True Colours</i></a> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{<span style="font-size: x-small;">a few months ago</span>}</i></span>  I thought it was long over due for a post about me. Here goes nothing!</p>
<p><b>Five Things </b></p>
<p><b>1.</b> I was born with a heart defect and had two heart surgeries by the time I was five. To this day doctors are still shocked when I tell them and add how active I am. Hey, I know my limits.</p>
<p><b>2. </b>The travel bug set in at a very young age. I was 14 the first time I traveled across the pond. For 21 days I traveled through Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany and England. Since then, to-date I&#8217;ve explored 15+ countries.</p>

<p>
<b>3.</b> I&#8217;ve lived in California my entire life minus the six month stint I spent in Pensacola, FL <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(I followed a boy and well it wasn&#8217;t the Hubby)</i></span>.</p>
<p><b>4.</b> I graduated college in three years&#8230;.and wish I stayed the extra year.</p>
<p><b>5.</b> Moving to <a href="http://icecreamandfrenchfries.blogspot.com/search/label/Tahoe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tahoe</a> was the best decision I made six and a half years ago. There&#8217;s something about Tahoe that makes me feel free. Plus I met the hubby in Tahoe!</p>
