About Me
Acting/Talent Experience:
As a flight attendant, everytime the plane boards, the show begins! My "acting and talent" includes drawing people in, making them comfortable and entertaining them! I was also an "extra" in a cartoon network commercial in which my oldest son was a "featured extra".
Am I affiliated with unions?:
Yes
A major event in my life was:
I grew up the daughter of a prison chaplain...knowing right from wrong, etc. They say (whoever they are!) that preacher's kids are the worst. I don't know if that's true, but I got pregnant when I was 25. My son's father is black and at the time was married, but not to me. Telling my parents was the most difficult yet most rewarding moment in my life! I learned that they love me unconditionally and that there is nothing I can't talk with them about!
The accomplishment I am most proud of:
I am most proud of my husband and children. Though the military life can be difficult (deployments, moves, new schools...) we stick together and love each other and support each other.
An embarrassing story about me was:
My husband and I were still dating. He took my son and I to Alabama with him to see his family and when we were preparing to leave, he told his dad that we would pick up some "porcupine eggs" for Logan to show his class. As we were stopping to pick some up, I expressed my growing concern that the "porcupine eggs" would hatch in the car on the drive back to Kansas. (My husband has an EXCELLENT sense of humor...very quick with it!) At this point, he explained that "porcupine eggs" are "stickers"!
My favorite TV Show:
Two and a Half Men
My best Physical Trait is:
my smile!
Topics off limit to me at a party are:
Nothing is off-limits, although a level of class and decorum must be observed in certain company. For instance, if among my husband's colleagues, I may conduct myself slightly (only slightly! :) more reserved than I would among friends.
Do I have tattoos or piercings:
Yes, to the dismay of my parents and husband! (I was young!) I have three tattoos: "sunshine" on inside ankle, "airplane" on my big toe and "gerber daisy" on back hip. Piercings...I'm only admitting to my ears!
The weirdest thing about me is:
Although friends and family could probably find a million "weird" things about me, I'm going to say that the weirdest is my love-hate relationship with running! I have to do it everyday, but dread it....of course, when it's over I'm glad I did it. Yet I still dread it the following day!
My friends would say my best qualities are:
My friends know that I would do anything for them...I am very loyal. I do everything with passion! I am a lot of fun to be around...I'm very funny!
My friends would say my worst qualities are:
I can be slightly unreliable. (okay, I added the "slightly"...they would just say unreliable!) Though they know that I would do absolutely anything for them, it may not be right away!
The personality traits I most like about myself are:
I love that I am able to crack a joke about most things. I am fairly easy and free with humor. I LOVE to laugh! I make friends easily and am adept at making others feel at ease with me, regardless of rank, color, creed, etc...
The personality traits I like least about myself are:
Although I consider myself very independent, the truth is that I am high maintenance and can be a bit needy!
Miscellaneous Information:
I am the wife of an Army Lieutenant Colonel. I am on a leave of absence from my dream job as a flight attendant! Enjoy my job as FA because I enjoy humoring others and view the closing of the aircraft door as my opportunity to "let the show begin"! Because we have 3 boys and are a military family, it is very difficult to maintain my dream job, particularly since my husband was in the middle east for a year!! Our boys are one of our greatest sources of both joy and ENTERTAINMENT!
