11 Random Facts

1. I have sixteen siblings. Although I have not lived with all of them they are dear to my heart.
2. My mother is my idol and my father is my hero!
3. I have been scalped. lol. I was in a car accident when I was eight-months pregnant. Just before my head went through the windshield it wiped the controls from the ceiling, in return, scalping me. 360 stitches and a reverse mo-hawk later, I was in possession of my scalp again.
4. The things that make my world worth living: family, sarcasm, documentaries, history and writing.
5. I love writing classes. Looking forward to this fall!
6. I studied Maria Montessori in college and accidentally found the keys to my learning style.
7. My sister, Jeni, is an endless source of pride for me. Her accomplishments and life are awe-inspiring.
8. Whenever I go to target I open a box of crayons and smell them. Best ever!

     9. I was Prom Queen, Class President and Activities Director at my tiny high school.

    10. One of the best things in life is playing tag with little kids. I use to be a party host at a children’s play center (four years ago). Instead of awkward small talk with the adults I would lead the children in a game of extreme-tag using the giant play structure. I can run up a double slide doing a sharp 180 at the top launching myself back down ending in an impressive four foot double hop at the bottom. All without being caught by 30 maniac 5 year-olds. Now that my friends is living!

     11. I’ve loved wearing hats since I was a toddler.

A stunt woman. My cousin Tony would tie a rope to his bike and race off with me on my skates holding on for dear life. I thought I was headed for stardom.
