who am I you ask?

Want to know a little more about me, the person behind "augie & lola"? Well even if you don't, I'm going to list ten random facts about me, that maybe you didn't know!

Here we go:

1. I ran away from home when I was 17, didn't graduate high school, but took my GED in 2010 and passed with flying colors.

Chicago Cubs/Wrigley Field/Carlos Zambrano

2. I LOVE sports. I'm a huge baseball (Cubs), football (49ers & Bears), and college basketball (Ohio State or any Big 10 team!) fan. I also love racing. My family has history in racing, my grandfather & uncle have both raced in the Indy 500!

3. I've lived in California, Arizona, and Illinois.

4. I got my first 3 tattoos when I was 17 and they are HORRIBLE. The two on my legs are covered up, and the one on my back I just pretend like it isn't there!

Matt & I, Arizona, 2003

5. I met my husband on notpopular.com and I knew I was going to marry him the second I saw his profile. We talked over the internet/phone for a year before we met in person. We started dating in 2003, got engaged in 2005 and married in 2006!

I was laugh/crying while saying our vows. It was really funny.

6. I love driving. I'm a HORRIBLE back seat driver and I know it.

7. I'm Portuguese.

8. My favorite show of all time is I Love Lucy. If I had to pick a show I watch now.. there's just too many. I really enjoy watching Survivor, Amazing Race, New Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, PARENTHOOD!, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, So You Think You Can Dance, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Person of Interest, Criminal Minds, CSI.. yeah I like t.v!

9. I LOVE mexican food more than any other food!

10. I've never been outside the country and I have no desire to. The farthest east I have been is Pennsylvania.
