Over the past year or so, I’ve become more wary about sharing personal details about me and my life on GML. I couldn’t tell you exactly why. I think it’s a cross between valuing my privacy and not wanting to come across as…well, vain.
But at the same time, some of my favorite blogs to read are the ones where you feel like you actually know the person behind the posts, and that relatability is something I’ve always aimed for with GML. So with that being said, here are some random facts about me that I don’t think I’ve ever shared.
1. My initials spell GAG. Thanks, mom and dad.
2. I’ve lived in NYC once before – for about 3 months when I was 19. Long story short, it didn’t go well.
3. I highly prefer non-fiction books over fiction.
4. I went to private school my entire life.
5. I’ve stopped reading about 75% of the blogs that inspired me to create this one in the first place.
6. I record every single dime I spend.
7. When I was 4 I had surgery to have a third front tooth removed. Yes, you read that correctly.
8. It genuinely bothers me when people say they hate cats. Because they just haven’t met the right cats.
9. Even though I love being social and meeting new people, I’m a total introvert by nature and need my alone time.

What’s something about you that most people don’t know?
p.s. HUGE thanks to Alyssa for my new header! (her blog is a must-visit, so get on that)
#3,4&5- SAME. Except the 75% is more like 90%…
SO EXCITED TO BE IN THE SAME CITY AGAIN!
YES! Updates, updates!! Let’s hang out asap
#5.. YES. Still loving yours, obviously.
I probably should be recording every dime I spend! That’s definitely admirable
Gracie, yours was one of the first blogs I started reading and I still read it everyday! It’s refreshing and honest and FUN! And I’m officially obsessed with Cake Batter EVERYTHING…
I LOVE The Circle Maker! My sister lives in D.C, she goes to his church and bought this book for me - so good :).
I’m extroverted and will approach strangers at a party, but most people don’t know I can get shy and nervous when I speak in front of a group of more than 10 or so people or speak up at work in a meeting!
Totally LOL’d at the cat comment. Because it is SO freakin’ true! Hahaha. I love Alyssa too! She is so awesome - such a genuine, awesome girl. Love you, GAG.
ha!! Mark Batterson is my pastor! he’s great!
I agree with the cat comment!! … and I think the same goes for dogs
Um … I LOVE to come home to a clean house everyday and will be late sometimes so I can tidy up before I go!
Love the new header
And I blame it on my momma but I also record every penny I spend! She gave me Quicken as a high school graduation gift… REALLY?!
This list is great- would love to hear about your time in NYC before! And I’m totally with you on the initials- mine are EDD and I HATE it- everyone has cute monogram stuff and I’ve always hated mine!
I’ve stopped reading some of the blogs I used to read before I created mine as well! Also- I say the same thing about cats. There are lots of nasty cats out there, but some are fantastic:)
So…. I think I’m gonna steal this idea.
Hope you don’t mind and don’t worry, I’ll link back to you!
