Though I can’t say the high school years were my favorite
(read: awkward), I am thrilled to see what everyone has been up to and how
we've all changed. I hope more people write in, Sharon! Great job putting this
together.
So after high school, I went to Ole Miss because my daddy always told me I could choose any college I wanted, as long as it was Ole Miss. Seriously, I liked it. I miss Oxford. While there I interned for the PR department and worked for a teeny tiny newspaper in Cleveland that worked me like a slave. It was great. Except the no sleeping part. That was not great.
I graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in journalism. My
parents moved to Houston, Texas while I was in college, and I felt God tugging
me this way, too. I moved here in 2007 and took a job as a
business/feature/city hall/whatever-else-they-wanted reporter with the Houston
Chronicle. The job was cool and all, but it was much cooler when God brought
along His other reason for bringing me here—my hubby. Jim was the media
specialist at the church I had been attending, and we met at singles Bible
study. Oh yeah, singles Bible study. He initially insulted my inner gamer during
a Halo match, but we worked through it. We married in December 2008, so I left the Chronicle in
early 2009 to stay home and eat bon-bons and watch soap operas. Not really.
Life was just really tumultuous at the time. Sadly, my parents separated about
a month after Jim and I married, Jim’s grandmother was ill, and we bought our
first house, which needed a bit more TLC than we bargained for. I describe the
before pictures of our house as, “It looked like Mexican restaurant threw up
all over the walls.” I can paint like a boss now.
In November 2011, my son Ezekiel was born. We call him Zeke,
and he is the cutest thing ever. That is, of course, a completely objective
statement. Shortly after, we felt God
was leading us to make Jim’s side business his full-time job. He’s a
videographer with a focus on wedding films. I’m going to shamelessly brag on
him here and post his website so my fellow girls can ooh and ahh over his
beautiful work—www.
I’m pretty sure I wrote way too much, and I hope some of you who haven’t posted yet will, too. Bye!
