Well guys, I’m another year older and it’s a big one. Today I’m 30!! No longer a “twenty-something” which makes me a teensy bit sad but while the past 10 years were pretty amazing, I have a feeling that my 30s will be extra special. My 20s were fun- I graduated college, lived the fun single life with my friends which led to meeting Ryan in a bar and the rest was history! I started my career as a PA, got married, moved into our first home, and traveled as much as I could. To celebrate this “milestone” birthday, I’m sharing 30 random facts about me in today’s post! Ps. Tonight Ryan & I are going to The Price is Right so hopefully they’ll pick one of us to “come on down” and win some prizes… fingers crossed!!
- Sushi is my favorite food group- the more raw fish the better!
- I was born in Moscow, Russia but can’t speak Russian. I moved to the states when I was 4.
- I used to play the violin and flute but only for a few years in elementary/middle school.
- My first concert ever was in college- Kanye West, NERD and Rihanna.
- I’m very organized/somewhat OCD but messy at the same time. That’s a thing, right?
- I’m 5’2 (or as Ryan likes to call it, “fun-sized”).
- I have always been creative. I started scrapbooking in the 8th grade and made a book every year until the end of college.
- I skipped 2nd grade.
- I dislike long road trips, would much rather be on a plane.
- I have a slight obsession with brass and marble home decor.
- I’m not really into sports but my favorite one to watch is basketball (go Hornets!).
- I’ve been skydiving.
- There was a time when I was younger that I wanted to be a news anchor… I would’ve never made it!
- My favorite trips to date would be a tie between Italy and Banff.
- I love scary movies.
- I will eat just about anything- olives, anchovies, oysters… you name it!
- Ryan & I met in a bar in uptown Charlotte. We had our first date, moved in together and got married all within the same block!
- I can’t sing but love to rap.
- I started blogging so I could document my time in PA school.
- I have really come to love home decor since moving into our townhouse 2 years ago.
- One regret I have from college was not studying abroad, I think it would have been an awesome experience.
- I always have my nails painted. Always!
- I’ve never broken a bone.
- Sleeping in is one of my favorite pastimes.
- I love to ski.
- Traveling is my absolute favorite thing to do and I cannot wait to go to Greece this summer!
- Ryan & I got engaged at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville and have been married for almost 3 years.
- I’m deathly afraid of cockroaches.
- Top 3 movies are Titanic, Wedding Crashers and Mrs. Doubtfire.
- I love any type of music I can dance to!
Happy birthday girl! Wishing you the best and welcome to the best decade! xo, Biana
