411 about Mrs Gibby!

So with all the new recent followers I thought I would do a little About me! I am amazed with how many followers I have, I really never though anyone would read my blog. haha. So lets get to the 411

1. I started blogging when I got engaged. My sister had a blog and I loved reading hers, so I thought why not! I went into blogging as an internet scrapbook of my life as an engaged gal and now its about my daily life and pretty things. I never thought anyone would want to read about my life, and I am so happy to have met such great girls in the blogging world! You guys rock! The blog title my sister, Rachel, thought of. Jimmy Choo’s being me and Tennis Shoes being Drew.

2. I am born and raised in Northwest Arkansas. Drew and my immediate family lives in NWA as well! I have two sisters, I am the middle child, and a little step brother.

3. Drew and I met at a past job. Drew started JB hunt a month before I did and the very first week I started I saw him and immediately knew something was special about him. We went on our first date 2 weeks later and have been together since. We actually worked together at two jobs for over 5 years. We were married on Nov 15th, 2008 (geez i cant believe its almost been 2 years!)

4. I am a natural red head and have never died my hair. YES I have always wondered what I would look like as a brunette, but I will always be a red head. 🙂

5. Drew and I definitely want little ones! God willing 2-3. We are waiting to get a few things in order before we start trying. Mainly a house. We cant wait to start that next chapter in our lives

6. I LOVE to throw a party. I dont mind the stresses that come along with it AT ALL. I love small details and personalization. Most importantly I want any party I do to be FUN!

7. I am a huge giver. I would much rather give than receive. I love making Drew, my family and friends happy with small gestures. On this topic, I get so embarrassed opening gifts in front of people. During my wedding showers I was so shy and bashful opening gifts and just laughed the whole time haha.

8. My Sadie is my child. Drew got her for me as a surprise for my 25th birthday! I had never heard of a Schnorkie before Sadie and I would have another one if Drew would let me. Sadie is the definition of spoiled rotten haha. She is SO SO smart too. She learned all of her tricks literally in one hour. She has an internal time clock and knows when its time for her walk, food and bed time. She always falls asleep with us, then goes and sleeps in her bed and then like clock work will come in early in the morning and sleep on Drew’s pillow. Drew and I adore her so much.

9. I Love to workout. I am pretty sure my body is addicted to endorphins. About 6 years ago I started running. Back then I HATED running and never thought I would like it. Then 9 months after starting, I lost 20lbs and was addicted. I do all types of working out now and will always. I have turned a lot of my friends onto running, if you ever want to know any tips email me!

10. Not to state the obvious, but I love DRESSES. Growing up I was a big time tomboy. no joke. I collected baseball cards, was the only girl on a tball team, etc. Then in junior high I made cheerleading and that all changed. My friends used to tease me about wearing dresses all the time about 4 years ago because noone really wore dresses around NWA that much back then. WELL now they all are dress fanatics too : ) I can find almost anything on the Internet and I am ALWAYS looking. My niece the other day was looking thru my closet and said “Tara, do you actually own any shirts?” “All I see is dresses” BUT THEN she said “ohhhhhh can I borrow this one when I got on my first date?” haha Rachel Shane is in some trouble with that one : ) LOVE that girl : )

11. My favorite foods consist of Mexican (especially mexican rice), cheese dip, spinach dip, Salad, a good Italian sandwich, Sushi, Salmon, Ahi Tuna, Veggie Lasagna, Yellow Cake with chocolate icing, homemade sugar cookies, pretzels, dark chocolate, Chex Mix, Graham Crackers, steamed veggies, all fruits, popcorn, gummi bears and I am sure there are more. I DO NOT like sausage, or the smell of it.

12. Some Randoms- I love pedicures, but I am very ticklish. I despise pumping gas. I love taking pictures. I love to dance. I talk to my mom every single day. I type VERY fast. I love the Dallas Cowboys. I could drink wine every day. I have lots of freckles. I am very hard on shoes(bc I walk very fast). I HAVE to sleep in peace and quiet besides the sound of a fan. I love to cook. AND I have the greatest family and friends!

So there ya have it… a little bit about me! : )

hope everyone is having a great day! XOXO

    I proudly (and a little creepily) have to say that I knew the majority of these about you, lol. Especially you loving Sadie, dresses, Mexican, vino and taking pictures. We are soul sisters!

  9. Rachel

    I've been reading for a year and a half, but I definitely didn't know all of these things previously! LOVE it!

    Your blog is so cute and I think I need your running advice. I want to be good at working out I just always come up with a million other things to do:) Haha…

    I enjoyed reading this at work! Made my BORING and LONG Friday a little better!

    I also dislike opening gifts in front of others. One of my good long time friends, a woman I used to work with that has adopted me as her "Fairy God Child" would always bring my gifts on my birthday or Christmas and tell me to just take them home and open them. I so prefer that!

    Oh please please please give some tips on running! I may email you today in fact. I'm having kind of a slow day in the office.

    XOXO
