A Brief AUTOBIOGRAPHY:
I was born in 1999, in Occoquan Virginia. The very same hospital that my Nana worked in! At the time, my parents lived in Columbia, Maryland. I lived in a top floor apartment that I called “old number 6”, along with my mom Jessica, and my dad Jim. Mom stayed at home with me and later with my brother too, while Dad worked as an architect.
We had a black Scottish terrier named Katie, and two gerbils named Siskel and Ebert.
During the three years that we lived in "Old #6", I was a pink bunny for my first Halloween...
...and I built my first snowman in the back yard with my dad...
...and for my first Christmas we flew to Houston, Texas to visit with my Aunt Patty...
...we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house that Christmas...
... posing with my toy Alphabug...
My grandparents live in Occoquan, Virginia and Kingwood, Texas. They were all there in Virginia shortly after I was born. It’s one of the photos I had in my Noah’s Ark baby photo book.
My brother Timothy was born in 2001, after I had turned 2. Tim was born in the same hospital I was.
We all lived together in “Old #6” until the following fall. Then the family moved to Tuscany Road in Ellicott City, about 4 miles away. We rented a house with more bedrooms and Tim and I finally both had our own rooms.
Some time before I turned one, my Nana gave me my absolute favorite stuffed animal, a cute little bear that I named 'Night Night'. My other old favorite is a soft, white lamb that I creatively named 'Lamby'. Lamby is Night Night’s faithful companion.
When I was 4, I attended pre-school. It was near home, and is called La Petite Academy. While I was there I met my first best friend named Anna. Anna lived in the same neighborhood, so we got to have play dates together a lot. Anna and her family have since moved to San Antonio, Texas.
When Tim and I were a little older, we had a cool pool set up in the back yard. We have a few great pictures of those days swimming and eating out back. We still love swimming and playing in pools!
I’ve always loved going to school. Pre-school was fun, but real school has been even better. I looked forward to my first day of school for a long time. Mom and Dad were there when the bus finally came that first day. It stopped right in front of our house. We still have those pictures. I still love school. In fact I find that I cannot wait for summers to end so I can get back to school again.
In kindergarten I was in Mrs. Miller’s classroom. My first grade teacher’s name was Miss Radhe. In second grade I had Mrs. Edwards. In third grade my teacher was named Miss Kim. On the first day of 3rd grade, I was so exited! My favorite school activities then were tech class and reading. My 4th grade teacher is Ms. Hornicek.
I love to read. I started out reading a magazine called Highlights that my Grandmother got me as a gift. I enjoyed it every month. Recently, Grandma sent me a new magazine called Puzzlemania. I enjoy puzzles! Some of the puzzles I enjoy include matchstick puzzles, connect the dot, and shade in puzzles.
One summer dad got me a razor scooter. Now I also have bikes at home and at Dad’s place. I learned to ride the bike real well one summer practicing when I visited Dad and Shawn. First I got to ride on the grass, and then when I got better, on the paths. Sometimes we all went for bike rides together, Shawn and Dad and I all rode our bikes and Tim rode in the trailer behind Dad’s bike.
I have a Nintendo DS Gameboy that I like a lot. Some of my favorite games are: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Nintendogs Chiuaua, Poke`mon Platinum , and Hamsterz Life.
Also, I got an MP3 player last Christmas. My favorite recording is by Bill Cosby. It is titled "kindergarden". My favorite song is I love Rocky Road by Wierd Al Yankovich.
I love reading books too. Some of my favorite books include the first 6 Harry Potter novels, The Call of the Wild, The Giving Tree and A Light In The Attic both by Shell Silverstein. I have read nearly all of the Nancy Drew series, and a number of other great books.
I also enjoy playing games. Some of my favorite games are Quiddler, Rhyme Time, Spell Down, Yahtzee, Chips, and Spelling Dice.
Some of my favorite movies include: the Harry Potter series, Finding Nemo, Scooby Doo 2, Adventures in Babysitting, Titanic, the Shrek movies, The Princess Bride, and August Rush.
A few years ago I enrolled in the Girl Scouts. I started as a Brownie (through 2nd grade), and then bridged to Juniors (3rd-5th grades). I had wanted to be in the Girl Scouts for a couple years. We meet after school on Fridays. Most of the girls are in my grade at school. This year when we had our Girl Scout Cookie sale, I sold over 300 boxes of cookies! Wow, that's a lot of cookies. We recently donated money we earned selling cookies We just finished selling cookies this week, and I got my first activity patch at the last meeting. At this campfire ceremony (held on the 18th of October 2007), I received my official Brownie pin. Since then I earned loads of badges for events and activities.
As for my sporting interests, I love swimming. I really enjoy watching baseball, and I love seeing the O`s play live at Camden Yards in Baltimore. I like watching football on TV. I also like to play catch in the yard with my dad.
