OH the questions you ask…

Since everyone seems to be so curious about me, I figured I’d give you a shot at the basic info… Feel free to pretend that your curiosity won’t get the better of you, even though both you and I know it will.

What can I tell you that most of you haven’t already been told? I’m originally from the Austin area, ok, to be more exact,  Fredericksburg, Texas. I am an only child, so yes, I have been spoiled in various ways all of my life, however I am no spoiled brat, and don’t tolerate those who are.

I will graduate from Texas Tech University with a degree in Public Relations on December 13th. I have a degree in Law Enforcement Technology already, and wanted to continue my education while my parents were willing to allow me to work part-time and go to school.

As for the question ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’, I have wanted to be a Public Information Officer for a law enforcement agency for about 10 years. Hopefully after I graduated, this will come to pass… eventually.

When I came to Lubbock 3 years ago, I was a completely different person than I am today. I was drifitng in my life, and not sure where to put in to port. I have discovered myself here, in Lubbock. My friends have listened to me complain about living out here for 3 years, since I was away from them and my family… they are extremely surprised that I would consider staying here, much less escaping and then returning, but Lubbock has been good to me, even though I am allergic to it nine out of 12 months in the year.

My family and friends are a great support system to me, even if they are more than four hours away in different directions. Without them, I would still be lost in the drift. They make me laugh when all I want to do is cry, and make me realize that ‘this too shall pass’.

Most people ask me if I am afraid of what my future might hold, and to them I say no, absolutely not. I am not afraid of much (ok, Sean’s parents being the exception-they terrify me!), I am afraid of disappointing those I love. My family, friends and Sean. They all know I have my faults, and believe me they are numerous, but I am most afraid of doing something that will disappoint one of them.

And since he has already thrown me under the bus, I’ll go ahead and let this slip also… I fell in love with this great guy, he sees me for what and who I am…whether I want him to or not. He has this weird way of getting inside my head. I can honestly say that I fell in love with him for who and what he is. He makes me a better person than I ever thought possible! Sean, in case I haven’t told you in the last 5 miutes, I love you!
