What’s going on today

If you’re reading this at some point on Friday, June the 10th…I’m in the midst of the most hectic event of the year: Graduation. As an event coordinator, I plan more than 40 events a year for our students and alumni. Each event has its ups and downs, its challenges and stresses.

Fun Facts…about me!

In effort to break the routine of book reviews and other senseless ramblings of mine… I decided to “show” you all a bit more about who I am! Leave a comment with a fun fact about yourself! Something people might not expect about you… 🙂 More to come in the future: How did my husband and I meet? Hint: it has something to do with that first picture up there… What is my favorite memory from my rodeo queen years? Hint: think of roses… What about you? What is something I’d be surprised to know about you? (That you care to share online for the world to see…) 🙂
