About Me

Top 20 Things to Know:

1. I'm a Louisiana Cajun girl who married the man of my dreams (totally cliche, I know) and moved to Texas. 



2. I teach 100 7th graders every day and can't believe that anyone would want to do anything else (except read.)



3. I graduated from LSU in 2007.   I miss LSU terribly, and I would give all of my money to go back and start again. I miss football season the most; I know that Texans believe that UT is all that and a bag of chips, but LSU football is so much better.




4. My little brother is my FAVORITE person in the world; I wish I was better at calling him with updated news. I am extremely proud of him. He has the courage to do the things he wants to do without fear of failure. I wish I could be more like that.





5. If I had all the money in the world, I would open an invitation/stationary store. Mainly because who goes into a stationary store unless it's to plan a fun party!?




6. I am the luckiest person on earth because I have the most amazing parents. My mom is so much fun, and I really can't believe it took me so long to realize it. My dad is passionate about most everything and likes to tell you what he believes. This could take over an hour. I'm just like him.



7. My husband is exactly like my dad in almost every way. This is VERY obvious when they turn on FOX news and proceed to YELL at the TV.



8. My most favorite thing to do is take bubble baths. If I could spend most of my day in the bathtub, I would.




9. I don't mind doing housework as long as it's not the dishes.



10. I think my grandparents are my gift from God. They are the ONLY people in this world who don't judge me or try to give me advice. They just listen.



11. I am turning into my mother. I find myself saying things everyday that she said or says on a regular basis. I also can't believe that she juggled teaching and kids with such ease. I hope I can do it too!



12. My favorite city is Austin, and I hope we can move there after my husband graduates from law school.




13. I will NEVER be a true Longhorns fan no matter how much my in-laws try to convert me.



14. My iPhone is the reason I'm addicted to Facebook and any other website for that matter.




15. I realized the other day as I fixed my coffee (the ultimate adult thing) that I was an adult.  Then, I wondered how I got from a college student to a working adult so quickly!




16. I miss my friends all the time; I wonder constantly if I will ever find a better circle than my circle in Baton Rouge.



17.  I want to save the world every single time I go to school and see those kids' faces.  I tell my husband monthly that one day I will walk in with a 12 year old. I am a rescuer. 



18.  I am not as independent as I once thought, but I take pride in the fact that I have enough courage to ask for help or admit that I just don't know. 




19.  In the summer growing up, my mom would come home with a box of new books for her library (you guessed it; mom's a school librarian) and it felt like Christmas in June.


20.  I can stay in my comfy bed all day and read.  Of course, then I would look like a recluse.  Instead, I read in my comfy bed but get up occasionally to eat.  ;)
