I've seen this circling around Instagram and blogs and thought I'd join in - why not?
I'm tagging all of you next! Leave a link in the comments if you've done this - it's always fun to learn more about my readers!

I hate being cold with a fiery passion and rain annoys the
crap out of me. I feel like a totally
different person when the sun comes out- my happiness level spikes! Don’t ask
me how I’ve survived my entire life living in Portland and Amsterdam (two very
grey and rainy cities). My sisters (who both live in LA) are constantly trying to
convince me to move to California. Of course I’m tempted, but I know I’d never
be able to go back to Portland after being spoiled with so much sunshine, so
for now I just get my dose of sun on tropical vacations!
At one point in my life I truly felt like I had no
“passions” – like, whenever someone would say “follow your passion”, “follow
your wildest dreams” – I felt like I didn’t have either of those. Now,
totallyyyy different story. Every day I find a new hobby or interest that I
feel is calling my name: photography, calligraphy (sure I’ve never picked up a
pen, but I’m dying to learn!), interior design, cooking, baking, videography,
event planning, you name it!
Super random… But I can drive a stick shift! I think this is
cool because most of my friends (and Corey!) can’t. While I find this useful, I
also hate being the only one out of me and Corey who can drive manual because
it has caused me to have to drive in crazy European cities (like Paris) and I
would much prefer to leave those shenanigans to the huz. We’re off the Cape
Town in less than two weeks and we will be driving a lot (on the wrong side of
the road!) and we paid almost double to get an automatic so Corey could take
the wheel :)
I’m stubborn as a bull. Makes sense because I’m a Taurus! One
of the biggest things my marriage has taught me is how to say I’m sorry, and
admit when I’m wrong. This has been extremely hard for me to do in the past,
but Corey is probably the least stubborn person in the world and the first to
apologize (even when it’s not his fault!). I’ve learned so much from him and
feel so lucky to have him as my life partner. I’m a better Liz thanks to that
guy!
I do too much. My mom
will attest to this time and time again. I try to do it all. I succeed many
times, but those few times where I break down because I’ve put way too much
pressure on myself and overplanned my schedule…It ain’t pretty.
Now it's your turn! Five things about you... Go!
