25 Things

I got the idea to do a 25 Things list about myself, from a friend who also has a blog. So here goes.

1. I am the youngest of five.
2. I have several passions: children, animals, volunteering, photography, baking, volunteering, and writing.
3. I am going to school for my baking and pastry degree.
4. I love polar bears.
5. I love calendars.
6. I love planners. Both monthly and weekly ones.
7. I love plaid.
8. I have lived in the city all my life, but I prefer country living.
9. I love composition notebooks
10. Hot chocolate is my favorite drink.
11. I am a big chocoholic.
12. I've never worn makeup before, and it doesn't bother me.
13. I have three pen pals, who I love talking/writing to. They are very nice, and very supportive.
14. I've grown up with cats, although we've had a few fish, and a hamster as well.
15. I never really liked/loved school all that much until I got to college.
16. I have never moved once in my life. I have lived in the same house, on the same block, in the same neighborhood, in the same city, the same state, ever since I was born.

23. I still love using crayons, markers, and colored pencils.
24. I dream of living on a farm with my own family someday, raising horses, and having my own garden.
25. I don't like to exercise, but I am in the habit of riding my bike three days a week whenever the weather is nice. I have been doing that since June.
