I was born on a hot and humid summer night back in August of
1981 in Orlando, FL. My childhood was that of your typical suburbia- bike rides
around the neighborhood and cul-de-sacs. As a child I loved to sing (usually
alongside my favorite MTV videos with a hairbrush in my hand) dance, and write
imaginative stories. My mom loves to tell the story of how I once came up with
a whole imaginary family, complete with names and back stories. Yep, I was an
odd child. I have an older sister
who is 20 months older than me. I don’t think I could summarize our
relationship in less than 200 words, but I will give it a try. She was the hot
sister all through high school, it annoyed me since all my guy friends drooled
over her, and now we are super good. I was that girl already thinking about
what colleges I wanted to apply to during freshman year of high school.
Needless to say I graduated high school and went straight to college. Four
years later, I walked across the stage with a “Hell yeah I graduated” strut and
grabbed my bachelors degree in English. After coming to terms with the fact
that I was not going to be hired as a journalist anywhere, I decided to get my
teaching certificate and become a middle school English teacher. On a late June
evening I met up with an old friend and his friend for drinks and accidentally
found the love of my life. 6 years later, we are married and planning
adventures.
