I spend my days raising and educating my precious little monsters, attempting to maintain a clean and peaceful home, and starting a business.  I love planning things, reading, learning new things, riding my bike, and being with my family.  As cliche as it may be, I adore flowers and rainbows, hearts, hugs, and smiles.  I am working very hard on learning and remembering people’s names, as well as being becoming better at not interrupting.  (Sorry ’bout that.)

I can most often be found teaching Physics in my classroom or coaching one of the three sports for the high school that I teach at.  I enjoy reading, particularly about leadership, but I also enjoy fiction.  I enjoy fishing, training for triathlons and playing with my kids.  I just started my Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration and look forward to passing on some of that knowledge with you!

I am a major book worm.  (That may be the biggest understatement of the year.)  My all-time favorite books are the Betsy-Tacy Series, by Maud Hart Lovelace, but I have many books that I have read over and over again.  I love Christmas.  I like to fish and golf and tap dance, but not all at the same time.  Art and History are very interesting to me; I have been learning about our family’s ancestry.  I’d like to be an author and open  my own bakery.  I like traveling.  I think everything is better in purple.

I like baseball.  I like playing short stop, left field, first base, and pitcher.  My favorite team is the Milwaukee Brewers.  I even caught a foul ball at a game.  (Okay, my dad caught it.)  My favorite player is Scooter Gennett.  My favorite food is pizza.  My favorite tv show is Phineas and Ferb.  My favorite subject is Math.  I really want to go to Hawaii and I’d also like to go to Tokyo, Japan.

My favorite thing is:  VIDEO GAMES!!!  My favorite color is red.  My mom says I need to share more with you…so… I also play basketball, baseball and karate.  I’m really fast on my bike.  I also like pandas.  That’s about all I can think of right now.

When my mom asked me, what I was going to be when I grew up, I told her I would be “Emmitt.”  My two most favorite things are playing basketball and mowing the lawn.  I actually, love just about everything sports related and I enjoy trying out new things and going new places.  I might be the littlest in the family, but I do a pretty good job keeping up.

I am a Blue-tick Hound dog.  I am a happy ol’ girl.  I spend most of my day napping on the couch, my special blanket or lounging in the sunshine, but I am always up for an adventure – like going for a walk or car ride.  I tend to bark (more of a beller, really) ferociously at any delivery trucks; I must protect my family, you know.  I am also more than willing to taste test snacks or check to see if the burgers are edible.
