In celebration of my 31 years here on earth, I thought I’d share 31 Things You May, or May Not, Or May Not Care to know about me, Jen, aka QuatroMama. =)

1.  I love mushrooms. I love them so much that I search menus for things containing mushrooms and order based on that one ingredient.

2.  I can talk sports better than almost any girl I know, especially college basketball or NFL football.

3.  I wear a size 3 shoe in KIDS. Brad calls my feet “hooves”, because they are so small.  My wedding shoes straps were Velcro – No Lie!

4.  I played Sandy in Grease my senior year in high school. I “had me a blast”!

5.  I’ve never been able to nail down a favorite color.

6.  I’m very indecisive. =)

7. I met Brad when I was 4 years old trick or treating.  We walked around our town square together. I was an dressed as an Arabian and Brad was a Care Bear. What an odd couple we made!
