About Me

I graduated from Texas A&M University in May of 2004 with a degree in Psychology, and from UNT in May 2007 with my Masters in Counseling. I have an awesome HUSBAND, Brian, who made me his wife on June 9. We spent a week in Paris for our honeymoon and I tell him how much I want to go back at least a dozen times a week! (Have I mentioned how awesome Paris is...and I wanna go back). We have the most adorable dog in the world, Ellie (I'm sure most people say that about their pets...but in this case it's true. Have you SEEN her??) I love to go for long walks (but not so much on the beach seeing as we live in the middle of a state), I LOVE to cook and bake, I'm addicted to reality tv and gossip mags/websites (my guilty pleasures), I get really annoyed when people mix foreign accents for certain words into sentences (like Giada on Food Network...drives me crazy when she randomly says things like "Ricotta" in an Italian accent...she's from like So. Cal.), I could watch Food Network pretty much all day, I love my Hybrid car, I will be voting Democrat, I like my coffee black, I love Pumpkin anything (spice lattes, bread, muffins, pies, pastas), I'm more partial to facebook these days (sorry myspace), I find myself analyzing people even when I don't mean to (hence, being a counselor), I love that I now have a sister and an adorable niece, and lastly I love wine!!
I couldn't have said this better myself:
"I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I'm an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear. Because as an only child, you have your own little world. Then you go into a situation where you're working with other people, and unless you actually vocalize what you're thinking, the other people will go through hell trying to figure out what's going on."
