I’m a 26-year-old former newspaper reporter, current and future reporter of the best news ever, originally from a small town in West Texas called Fort Stockton, although I now live in the beautiful city of San Antonio and love it here.
I’ve been going to church my entire life, but became a Christian at 17. I’m the youngest of four and love my family very much even though it’s hard for me to show it sometimes. I have SEVEN nieces and nephews: Jacob, Analisa, Andrew, Adam, Joshua Alan, Joshua Ryne and Tabitha, who are awesome and who I looove hanging out with even though I rarely get to do it. I secretly think God must favor my siblings a little since he gave them probably the most beautiful, funnest and smartest kids ever.
I like to think I have awesome perseverance considering I’ve been waiting 100 years for my ultimate dream to come true: for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series. And while I hate to admit it, I do fear that they’ll do it while I’m away living the World Race dream. So a little, bitty, bitty part of me is secretly hoping they wait for me to come home, but if I admit that out loud I wouldn’t be a real fan so I’ll never say it out loud. If this is the year, I hope my teammates are prepared for a huge celebration because THERE WILL be celebration!
Aside from that, here are some of my favorite things:
Wrigley Field (add a hot dog and a Pepsi and it’s perfect)
Cereal
Mark Grace
The Office
Sunday afternoon naps
Sunday afternoon baseball games on WGN
Saturdays
Silly talks with my friends
Hearing funny stories about my nieces and nephews
Chick flicks
Chick lit
Pedicures
Toast
Pancakes (OK, I love all breakfast foods pretty much)
My pillows
Jars of Clay
Third Day
The Dixie Chicks
Guns N Roses (old school GNR and only the songs that had no bad words since those were the ones my brother would record for me back in the day)
Frappuccinos
Listening to music while I write
Hitting the “send to source editor” button at work (that means my story is finished!)
Tulips
The first day of the year when I can wear flip flops again
