Introduction week 1

Hello! I am starting my senior year here at the University of Oklahoma! I am from Eufaula, OK, which is known for having the largest man made lake. I liked to spend time on the lake with my friends during the summer. Usually on the weekends someone is taking their boat out so we all tag along for whoever's turn it is.

I have a German Shepherd named Bentley. I also have a five year old nephew that is my best friend, his name is Westyn.  He just started kindergarten this year. One of my favorite Westyn quotes is when my grandmother asked him if he played on the playground at recess (on his first day) and his response was “ I ran, jumped, climbed, ya know, I did all that hillbilly stuff.”

We are from a rural area in Eufaula and it is important for me to not forget where I came from even when I am away. Farming has been in my family for several generations and it is something I plan to pass on to my nephew, as well as my own children.

I am an avid sooner football fan.  I’ve been attending games with my parents since I was a child. It was a big deal for me to attend the University of Oklahoma because it was something that I had wanted for such a long time.

When I am not tied down with school work I like to travel home and spend time with my family. Family is very important to me, if you couldn’t tell. I also like to spend my free time at home in the woods or catching fish.

I am very inspired by my father. My dad builds houses for a living. I like to use that phrase instead of a carpenter because my dad does almost all of the work on his own, from frame work to cabinet building. If you can show him a picture he can make it. People say we have the same personality because we don’t stop working until the job is finished. To me, that is the biggest compliment I can receive because I know how hard he works.

I plan to finish out my senior year here at OU and go on to further my education to be an ultrasound tech.
