I grew up around music. Taking piano lessons for 17 years really taught me to appreciate classical music, but I'm a Broadway girl at heart!Chris is a sports person. By that I mean, he worked for OSU athletics and for Coach Tressel. Therefore, I am a sports person. We are loyal fans of Ohio State, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Brown, Detroit Red Wings, and love the Toledo Mudhens!If someone was to ask me tomorrow what my dream is (and always has been), I want to be on Broadway. From the time I was 3 I have been singing. At one point, when I went to see Annie at Summerstock when I was 4, I was so upset because Annie didn't get a mother at the end of the show. I was crying to loud the actors heard me backstage and came out to meet me. I have photos of me, with my nose red and my face tear stained with Annie and Daddy Warbucks. I should have know then to work towards my dream.Now I feel a bit stuck. Maybe someone I'll get there.
My grandfather, Jesus, Nicholas Sparks, Bette Middler, Lucille Ball, Jane Mansfield, Sarah McLachlan, Great Big Sea, Idina Menzel, and anyone else who has had a musical influence on me growing up.
Sarah McLaclan, Great Big Sea, show tunes, and really anything with a good beat.
Annie is my number one favorite, hands down. RENT, Love Actually, the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Jason Bourne movies, Bend it like Beckham, Notting Hill, My Best Friend's Wedding, and anything else sappy.
Law and Order SVU, Sex and the City, Big Love, Six Feet Under, Roseanne, the Cosby Show, Dancing with the Star, and just reality TV in general.
I love to read and my favorite authors are Marian Keyes, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, and Emily Giffen, just to name a few.
My family is a big inspiration to me. My sister has worked so hard and has never questioned her dreams, nor let anyone else question them either. My mom and dad have worked so hard to provide for my sister and myself. And, Meme, my grandmother, for being a rock and a salvation for each of us.
