About Me


| View Show | Create Your OwnAs you might be able to tell, I'm a sports nut. Good thing I married another sports nut! I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I grew up in South Orange, New Jersey, where I graduated from Columbia High School (in Maplewood, NJ), Class of 2000. I went to college for 2 years at the University of Kansas (Go Jayhawks!) and spent a couple more years in Lawrence, Kansas (with a brief stint in the Dallas area after college) before getting married (March 12, 2005) and moving to San Antonio, Texas. My husband is in the United States Air Force, stationed at Lackland AFB. We have 4 cats (Frankie, Trixie, Cali, & Tinker Bell) and a dwarf hamster (Speedy).
