Thank you to Jaime & Joanna for giving me this lovely award :)

1. I love frogs. I collect various figurines and stuffed animals (though not as much as I used to).

2. While I have a huge love and want to teach art as soon as possible I used to want to teach music just as badly. Throughout my schooling I participated in music and in art. I was in All County Chorus a variety of times and voted best musician my senior year in high school. I even sang a the Christmas Song (Chesnuts roasting on an open fire...) at a school assembly when I taught art in NC. However, I can't read music LOL so art it is ;)

3. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Alien movies (there are 4) AND the Alien Vs. Predator movies (there are 2). It is a love for science fiction that me and my dad share :)

4. Ok... ugh.... I'll admit it! In High School I was a cheerleader. For football (which is normal) and for Wrestling (haha - yea I know not so normal there LOL).

5. I grew up in a Christian home and became saved at a very young age. I have been attending the same church my entire life pretty much.

6. Given my need for more teaching experience I sometimes get mad that I didn't stay and complete 3 years in my teaching job in NC but then I remember that I met my husband 6 months after I came back and I would NEVER give up my husband for teaching experience!

7. I am pretty much a massive TV lover - I watch FAR too much television - I'm sure I will give it up someday and have to give it up when I have kids but for now it's my guilty pleasure :)
