Do I over use the ...? I think I do....

About Me

Well, let's see. I'm Allison Beers now (it was the Moore-Beers wedding- still peeing my pants about that one!) I got married in September 2005. Adam and I met at Albion and then moved to Philadelphia for 4 years for work and grad school (best thing we ever did). I'm really glad we moved away for a bit. It made moving home so much more fun. I never realized how much I LOVE Michigan.I lucked out, Adam is from TC. We just moved back to Michigan a year ago (2005) and bought a house in Traverse City. I LOVE it up here, but it's very hard to get used to after living in Philly. TOTAL culture shock!I am working with a great marketing/ad/pr/special events agency in town. I get to work with great clients that effect where I live. I love that. I'm about to jump in full force for 2007 The Traverse City Film Festival. I planned all of the special events for it. I did it last year too. That was pretty sweet. I work on a few nonprofit fundraisers in town. Things are great!We had an exchange student from Zambia, Africa. We were very sad to see her go, but we hope she'll go to Albion! Go Brits!I ran a half marathon in San Diego for Team in Training, raised over $4K and found out after that I ran it pregnant. Guess the baby will come out a runner!Anna finally joined us! We're excited new parents.

My Interests

Anything outside, running, lacrosse, camping, hiking, golfing, skiing, photography, hanging out with my family, Rotary, drinking with friends and reading.

Music:

Pretty much anything except country music. Favorites are: Pearl Jam, The Tragically Hip, Tom Petty, Violent Femmes, The Cardigans, etc... I love Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon... oh, and I have a new found respect for rap/R&B music, which I claimed to hate before. It's now the only thing I can run to now. Also love Ben Folds- thanks to my friend Marc in Philly!

Movies:

Really, the list to way too long!

Television:

Sopranos, Entourage, The Office, Six Feet Under, ER, LOST, Scrubs, Two & a Half Men, King of Queens, totally hooked to Law & Order of all types!

Books:

Well, I was an English Major. My list is way too long, but in short. I love anything by Shirley Jackson (also we share the same birthday, but she's dead), John Updike, and historical fiction novels. Also Flannery O'Connor. She's freaking bad ass!

My Blog

All names have been changed to protect the stupid in my office.  I'm in the travel industry so I assume people know basic facts.  I should never assume anything- EVER AGAIN! So, I'm talkin...
