Sunday Social: family and friends

1. Tell us about the family you grew up in, parents, siblings, grandparents.
I grew up with my parents and older sister. Obviously, my dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around a lot. My mom’s family lives in the Pittsburgh area. My dad’s family is more spread out, but the majority of them live near Columbus.

2. Tell us about your husband, fiancé, boyfriend, significant other.
I am married to Mac, an Army captain. He’s pretty much the best guy ever. It sounds cheesy, but we’re just perfect for each other.

3. Tell us about your children. If you don’t have children, talk about your fur children.
I have two cats. Kittie, the older one, is almost 19 years old and isn’t doing too well. She lives with my parents in PA. Purrburger is the one that y’all are most familiar with.

4. Tell us about your best friends. How long have you known them? How did you meet?
I have several best friends. Ashley is one of my pledge sisters. We actually noticed each other the day after bid day in choir because we were wearing the same Alpha Gam shirt. Another is Jessica. She pledged the year after me (in 2008), and it was love at first sight. She’s inadvertently the reason why I met Mac. We also have Lindsey, whom I call Ferret Cube. She went to high school with Ashley, and I met her during her freshman year at Tech (also 2008). She has rudely decided to move to Australia.

5. Tell us about any other special people in your life.
I am blessed to have amazing friends and family. My in-laws have graciously opened their home to me while Mac is gone. I have a sorority full of women with whom I have found lifelong friendships. It’s amazing that we can go months or years without seeing each other but can pick up right where we left off as soon as we see each other.
