Things I Love...That You Might Not Know About!

You already know I love Jesus.
Mark. And Amelia.
My family and friends. 
Being at home. 
Coffee.
The usual for moi! 

But in the spirit of this heart-filled day (because although I am V-Day neutral, I do love me some hearts!)...I thought it would be fun to fill you in on a few random things that I love. Little Elise-isms, if you will. :)
So here it goes. I tried to pick random things you might not know about me!

I LOVE...

Seltzer Water
Seriously I've loved it for years. Plain and simple.
This flavor is the jam. So is pomegranate! 
 
Sleeping
I think I love sleep more than the average human.
My family noticed it growing up, and now my hubby notices it.
I guess I soak up the years of sleep while I can get them! I know that will be out the window when kiddos come along! :)

Britney
Forever my biggest girl crush. And the pic because...well, that's my favorite Britney.
(and Justin)
I love him too. Music included. 
I also love(d) them together. Sigh...

Bojangles Cajun Chicken Biscuit
We aren't big fast food eaters.
But if we're on a long trip and fast food is the only choice? It's this. Every time.
(Sorry, Chil-fil-A. You're a close second.)



Singing!
Yep, that's me! At my hometown church in Charlotte.
I don't like singing for show, but I do love singing for Jesus!!
And if you're in the car with me, chances are I'm singing the harmony to the radio. Which I know is kind of annoying sometimes. Oops.

Hugs
Not in a creepy way! :) 
But seriously. Maybe it's because my love language is touch. 
I'm the person who will say nice to meet you with a hug over a handshake any day!
 
 
 

Maps
Random but true!! Mark and I collect them. 
They're a gallery wall favorite in our home! :)
 
 
What are some random little things you love?

    I knew when I first read your blog we were meant to be bloggy friends! Sleeping, Justin & Brittney (separately and together), singing (though I'm not good at it), maps, and especially hugs some of my top loves too!!

    I'm definitely going to have to try that La Croix seltzer water too!

    A chicken biscuits sounds amazing right now, and I am also a huge nut for Britney and Justin.

    Oh my goodness! This should stop surprising me by now that we have so much in common, but I doubt it ever will. My fridge is stocked with La Croix! I LOVE to sing and used to sing for my hometown church praise band, but I won't sing in front of just anyone! And I crave cajun filet biscuits like it's my job. Seriously. I had one yesterday as a matter of fact. Gosh, I love you!

    I'm so with you on the singing and hugging!! I tell Matt a person needs 6 hugs a day to be truly happy and since I don't always see 6 people I know well enough each day, he has to fill my quota. You can imagine how well that goes over ;) Also, I can't sing. But I would love to hear your pretty voice. I LOVE music.

    Sleep...now that's something I've never learned to love all that much. I've been energetic since I was a toddler who didn't take naps. :P A couple of my little sisters really love sleep, though, to me it feels like they sleep forever and I find that so strange!

    It's 7:30am my time and I want to grab that biscuit off the screen and eat it for breakfast! Yes sleep, sleep, sleep and then sleep some more. I was a big sleeper pre-Mason and a grump when I woke up. Seeing as my new alarm clock is pretty darn cute this mama wakes up with a smile.

    Hi Elise! I'm so glad I have found a friend that is just as passionate about Bojangles Cajun Filet Biscuits as I am! Next time tell 'em to add cheese - it will change your life :) I'm so glad to be so close again to Bo-berry biscuits and Bo-rounds and tea so sweet it'll make your teeth fall out!

    Oh and since you're an NC girl, I'm surprised you didn't list Cook Out trays as a secret love, 'cause that's definitely one of mine!

    Love this! Agree completely with hugs....I'm a BIG hugger! I would definitely hug you if I met you...and not in the creepy, blog-stalker way at all . =)

    I love coffee and wine (duh), shopping - online and up close and personal - traveling, Taco Bell black bean burrito, going out to dinner with my family...besides all the normal things - Cruz, my husband, my family, you know!

    back when we were dating my husband told me he loved maps and i thought he was the nerdiest human ever, but then after i studied abroad i came home with this fascination for them!!

    they just look so cool and there are so many ways to display them. any time we go on a major trip, i make a frame for him with the map as the background/matting with a black and white photo of us there. totally got the idea from pinterest and love it!

    good to know some other people share our fascination!
