I grew up in Karnes City, with my parents, and older brother Rhett. Growing up in Karnes Ciity with a small town atmosphere is something I treasure, and always look forward to visiting home. My brother is married to Rachel, and they are expecting a baby in January! I can't wait to be an aunt!

I'm grateful that I grew up with a very close knit family. I have one brother Rhett who is married now to Rachel, and they're expecting a baby this January! I grew up very close with my cousins, and consider them to more like sisters. My cousin Emily is an older sister to me, and just recently found out that she's due in January too! To say I can't wait for January would be an understatement! I was fortunate to live with two of my cousins in college Katy and Clara, and my youngest cousin Lily will be starting at Texas A&M this fall. The six of them are "my people" and the ones I know I can always count on!

I received by BS in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University! Whoop!  I grew up an Aggie, and that's the only place I wanted to go.  I love the traditions in Aggieland, and am grateful to have been a part of them.  I'm currently working on my Masters in Library Science here at Sam Houston State University.  Go Bearkats!

I've taught in the classroom for two years at Howell Middle School teaching 7th Grade Reading. I thoroughly enjoyed the content, but my plan has always been to be a librarian. I'm taking the year off from teaching to focus on my MLS, and to get it done as quickly as possible. I'm an avid reader, and want to share my love of books with others.

I have a brown and white border collie named Shep.  Shep got his name from Laura's dog in Little House on the Prairie, and from Dr. Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy. Shep is full of energy, loves to play ball, and go for walks.

I got hooked on reading when I was introduced to the Little House on the Prairie series growing up.  Since then I have always been immersed in books and love getting lost in a good book.  My favorite author is Sarah Dessen, and I'm beyond excited that she's releasing a new book in just a few days.  A few of my favorite series are The Hunger Games, The Selection, Divergent, Harry Potter, and Jenny Han's summer series.  One of my favorite stand alone novels is Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave, she weaves a story centered on family and the hardships that come with growing up and trying to keep everyone together.  As you can see from the picture below I have too many favorites to mention!

I'm a big fan of the show Grey's Anatomy, and I named my dog after Dr. Derek Shepherd.  It's hard to believe that the show is still going on, and signed on for two more seasons. I love sitcoms such as The Office, New Girl, and The Ranch. I've watched The Office three times, and just recently participated in a Trivia Night.

I absolutely love to travel, and always have a sense of wanderlust! Last summer I traveled to Ireland with my parents, and at the end of this month I'll travel to Florida with friends. One of my favorite places to visit is Key West, Florida.
