So! Today is Day 1. Which is: Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts

Here goes! I'm Heather. I'm a 23 year old 4th grade teacher. I live in Dallas, Texas but I teach in Irving!

15 interesting facts:

1. I am a twin. We are fraternal, but still a cool fact. :0

2. I was born and raised in Alabama. (except for those three years that I lived in Mississippi as a toddler!)

3. I graduated from the University of Alabama in May of 2009 with a degree in Elementary Education.

4. I moved to Dallas, Texas in July of 2009. 

5. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in second grade, but it is nothing like I expected. (In good was and bad ways.)

6. I have two brothers and I'm convinced they are the smartest, kindest, most perfect men in the world. My goal is to find someone like them to spend the rest of my life with.

7. I am in love/obsessed with Alabama football. Win or lose, I'm a crimson girl! I also love college football of any kind. I can watch any game and cheer the entire time.

8. I love to be creative. Rather that is painting, sewing, planning parties, decorating, etc. It is where I find I am most at peace.

9. I also love to bake!

10. My goal is to one day own a bakery/gift shop where I sell the things I make. I doubt this will ever happen, but it's what I dream about after a hard day of teaching.

11. I have moved 17 times in my life. Therefore, I hate moving. 10 of those have happened in the past five years. Yuck!

12. I love to drive. After a hard day, I love to just drive around town and listen to music. I also love to drive on road trips!

13. If I'm in a group of people where I know no one or only one person, I am completely shy. I like to listen and learn about the people around me before I actually speak up. If I am in a room full of people I know, I will be loud, talkative, funny, and perhaps obnoxious. I'm sure its hard for my friends to imagine me as being shy, but it does happen.

14. My mom was my best friend. She passed away when I was 18 and I miss her so much everyday. My favorite thing to hear is, "You remind me so much of your mom." Because if I'm even half the woman she was, then I consider myself a success.

15. I try to follow Christ in all I do. I fall short multiple, multiple times. But my goal is that everyone who knows me knows that Christ is my number one and that He is the one I am modeling my life after. Without Him, I am nothing and I have nothing.

AND for my recent picture, here is a picture of Katie and me from last weekend!
