As a little girl growing up in New Jersey, I always dreamt of what I wanted to be when I grew up. Didn't we all? I have always loved camping, fishing, playing video games, and playing softball....but those were never really things that I could make a career out of. After taking some time off of college in Florida, I was lost and confused. Some crazy part of me that I didn't know existed persuaded me to join the Air Force. That's when my life took a turn. I was stripped away from my friends and family, and turned into some military robot. Before I knew it, I was thrown into Texas doing maintenance on bomber aircraft, something I never had imagined I would be doing. Suddenly, "yes sir," and "no ma'am" became a part of my vocabulary. Northerners don't say that. When I wasn't paying attention, some guy with a dorky smile and a messed up haircut bounced into my life, and one year later we were married. In the midst of my military career, I had found my passion for helping people, and decided that I wanted to be a social worker who made a difference in the lives of struggling adolescents. Five years later, I have two sons (both under two, please help), and am attending OU's social work program. I have never felt so fulfilled and happy with my life. Anyways, that's enough of the sappy stuff. Here are some random facts and favorites of mine:
- I named my 5 chickens after characters on Orange is the New Black.
- I hate peas.
- Every time Mean Girls comes on, I have to watch it.
- The first movie I ever cried to was The Iron Giant.
- I have never watched Game of Thrones or Sons of Anarchy.
- I absolutely can NOT wear socks in bed.
- I can't swim.
- My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because food.
- When I was younger I wanted to be a professional bowler when I grew up.
- I love playing laser tag.
Well, I think that's enough about me. I seriously look forward to learning more about you!
