11 interesting facts about myself…
1. I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Arkansas. My parents still live in the house they built when they got married way back in 1969. I love going home to visit and sleeping in the same room, on the same bed frame that I have always slept in!
2. I showed calves in the county fair for nearly 10 years! My sister also showed and she always beat me for the showmanship awards!
3. If you call my parents’ landline and get their answering machine, you’ll hear my 16 year old voice tell you that we can’t take your call! I sound totally different than I do now!
4. I lettered in tennis two years in Junior High, but had to quit before high school due to health issues.
4. The very first car my parents “gave” me was the same car they purchased when I was in 2nd grade. It was a Plymouth Reliant… I drove it until it literally fell apart.
5. I was born with supra valvular aortic stenosis, which in layman terms means… a narrowing above my aortic valve. I was asymptomatic until my junior year in college. I had open heart surgery to correct the problem on my 21st birthday in 1996. What a way to celebrate your 21st, huh?
6. I graduated from a small liberal arts college in southwest Arkansas with a degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Broadcast Journalism.
7. I worked for 3 years for the ABC affiliate in Little Rock, 3 years at the NBC affiliate and nearly 3 years for a local radio/cable TV station in my hometown.
8. I produced an Emmy award winning local morning news show for 2 years.
9. My husband and I started dating in June 2005 and I started working with him at the local radio/cable TV station 3 months later. We worked together for many, many months before anyone realized we were seeing each other!
10. I’m currently suffering from the largest hiatal hernia my doctor has ever seen!
11. I’m heavily addicted to these…
My questions from Tiffany from Stuck on a Cloud…
1. What is your favorite Movie/TV show/Band/Book?
My favorite movie is “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with Audrey Hepburn. I’ve been an Audrey Hepburn fan forever and I love all her movies, but “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is by far my favorite! My favorite TV show is “Blacklist”. My son and I don’t miss it…we rearrange our schedules to be sure we’re ready to watch together when it comes on. I have several favorite bands/musical groups, from Point of Grace to Skillet or Plumb…all Christian groups. Right now, I’m reading “Sycamore Row” by John Grisham and it is great, but I have to admit, the “Anne of Green Gables” series is AMAZING!
2. If you could choose a year to have been born, what year and why?
This is a tough question! I don’t know that I would do anything differently. God gave me the birth date I have for a reason and a purpose… I’m still trying to figure that out.
3. The thing that makes you the happiest.
Spending time outdoors with my family. We are big adventurers and love to find new places to explore together.
4. The thing you wish other people would get about you.
I can be pretty quiet when you first get to know me and more times than I can count, it comes off snobbish. I was very shy earlier in life… I’m not so much now, but can be very quiet until I’m comfortable with someone.
5. Your idea of a perfect day.
(same as #3) Hiking in the middle of the woods with my family.
6. East Coast or West Coast?
Neither 🙂 I’m a southern girl through and through! Although I love a good beach!
7. The most valuable lesson you learned in life.
Don’t take your time on earth for granted…you never know when God will call you home.. see more HERE.
8. Over the past week, you made someone smile when…
I reminded my 14 year old that he was spending the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge!
9. Who would you like to be stuck in an elevator with?
My husband… it’s true. He calms me and can make me laugh with just a look!
10. What do you like to do in your free time?
I spend time with my wonderful family, blog, take pictures, make jewelry and play with my bull terriers.
11. Who inspires you?
My husband every day… he is such an amazing Christian man who is so confident in his walk with Christ. I learn something new from him every minute!
