Four Epithets
Well hey all y'all, this is a new thing for me because I am not a blogger by any means. Anyways, here are four epithets to describe me!
Beastly-baller
Anyone who knows me well knows that the place I feel the most comfortable is on a basketball court. I've been playing basketball since junior high and I have height and determination which comes to my advantage. I was on the Arizona State Champion team in High school. No, I don't play on the collegiate level mainly because I have work and therefore no time, but you can generally find me in the RB playing with the boys :)
Lover of Family
My family is one of the most important parts of my life. I am the second oldest of four kids. My parents have taught me how to make friends of my siblings and we as an entire family sure do have a lot of adventures. My mom is from Guatemala and was the first of her family to come to the U.S. so, culturally I have grown up learning in a very different way. My family has been there for me through my ups and downs. I am so grateful for all of our differences that have helped us grow closer together and know how to interact with each other.
Musical Ear
Ever since I was a little girl I have been exposed to all sorts of music. I prefer more classical which I include as being Josh Groban, piano music, Celine Dion etc. I've played the piano since I was six but really can't claim that as my supreme talent. I do love to sing though and although I'm not amazing, I feel I can hold my own. Music in general though has driven me in many things in my life.
Connoisseur of Food
I love food! I love trying new types of foods and sticking to the basics as well. My favorite dish would probably depend on my mood but I have a soft spot for Italian food. I am a firm believer of finishing everything on your plate and if you can't, then you save it for later. Also dessert first is another good rule of thumb.)
That is great you love music! I have also played piano since I was six as well...and am a singer. Music is definitely something that you can use throughout your life!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you wrote about your family. Family is really important and I think you're so lucky to have grown up with a mom that has a completely different background than the average American mom. I'm sure it has led to all kind of interesting insights.
ReplyDeleteI love it when there are good girls playing in the RB there are quite a few that can take it to the average guy player. That is awesome that your mom is from Guate! I served my mission in El Salvador and Belize. I even got to go to Guatemala a few times to do some baptismal interviews cause we had one area there in a place called Peten. It's fairly close to the Mayan Ruins called Tikal. I'm sure you've heard of them. I love Central America and the people there. I'm sure your mom is no exception.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the part on food because I can totally relate to that. I don't have one favorite food, different things just sound better at different times.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with your skills as a basketball player and a musician. It is so fun to see where our passion and intrests take us in life.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to hear that you're passionately about such a contact sport like that. I also enjoyed reading that music is not just something that was around, but something that you appreciate.
