All About Me

As you can see by my blog name, I may be just a little obsessed with my hometown. I have lived in Nashville, Tennessee for the last 18 years. I was born in Wilmington, Delaware but moved to Tennessee when I was a few years old due to my dad's job.

Childhood was great. My brother and I were the best of friends…we even had the exact same haircut. See below. I must say, there still may be a small amount of resentment toward my parents for this look. (and yes, under my blanket is the same haircut as my brother...thankfully, I must have learned to cover it up when a camera was around).

I have a great family, who loves to travel. My dad is from The Netherlands, so we frequent Holland to visit my family there and make a huge trip of it. We have been to over 10 countries and have plans to go to many more. I used to hate going to countries and National Parks every spring and summer break, but now I am so grateful that my parents took me there instead of the boring ole beach like everyone else! (Below is my father, brother and me on one of my first trips to The Netherlands)

I also have a child, well...sort of. Casper is my little nugget who also happens to be a 16-year-old West Highland White terrier and the light of my life. I may be exaggerating..but only just a little. (Come on, isn't he adorable!!!)

But, in all seriousness, I love everything about Tennessee except for one thing: orange. That disgusting University of Tennessee orange. I have to say that I am relieved that both of my parents went to small colleges so I wasn’t pulled into going to gawd-awful UT (although…it may have been a lot cheaper for them).
Instead, I decided to attend the best school in the nation: University of Alabama.

 Alabama has one of the best Public Relations programs in the country. Yeah, the football is pretty great (insert Roll Tide and recent National Championship comment here), but I chose the school for the amazing Public Relations program. I have decided to graduate a semester early and can’t wait to get out in the real world.  While it is scary to know that in a little less than a year I will (hopefully) have a big-girl job and be moving into my own apartment in Nashville, I feel more than prepared.
Being from the best city in the country, I obviously would love to live/work in my hometown. My parents just moved to South Carolina, so I want to hang onto Nashville even tighter now.
So this is me in a nutshell: A southern gal from the best city in the country, going to the best school in the country, and working my way to my dream career. Roll Tide.
