Location	Clarksville, TN, United States
Introduction	I love art, the color pink, Facebook, my cell phone, 16 & Pregnant, Re-runs of That 70s Show (I also own the collectors box set), Teen Mom, drawing, my college ART classes, new friends, hanging out with friends, my awesome little baby man (Elijah), my wonderful finance, tanning, visiting with family, traveling and vacations, the beach, and going shopping when I am able to!
Interests	My name is Tristen, I am in my fourth year of college, going to be an art teacher. I chose this career because I have always loved helping other and ever since I can remember I have been drawn to the art world. Even at a younger age my parents enrolled me into several art classes and camps to help inspire me. I found art to be influential, and it has always given me an inner comfort when I paint, draw, and sculpt. Put the two together and you have my dream job. I am girlie, love the color pink, love Facebook and my cell phone, I love art, drawing, dancing, the beach, my friends, God, and of course, my precious family. I am a mother to a handsome and precious baby boy, Elijah Cole. We like to call him Eli though. Or Baby Eli will do. He is currently 9 months old and growing too fast for me to handle it seems. He is a little rotten monster! He has been crawling since he was six months old, he can wave, stand on his own, walk with the assistance of something he can hold on to, and he has a handful of words he is already saying! (Hi, Hey, Buh-Bye, Ma, Ma-muh, Dada, and Yea.) It really does seem he is learning something new each and every day. I love it. When I was told there was nothing better than motherhood, well I certainly didn't see it being this special, amazing, and well...perfect. Each day is so awesome to call Mr. Eli mine. He really just makes my life so much more worth living and until I am chosen by God, I will do my best to give my little boy all I can. Next, I am a soon-to-be wife to a loving, handsome, and crazy man, Mr. Alex. He is very much so my life too. He aggravates the crap out of me, knows how to make everything better when it sometimes feels as if my world may be falling apart, he makes me laugh, he's very sweet and caring and most of all, he would do just about anything for me and our little boy. When all is put together, I have to say I am the luckiest woman ever!

What would you name your ballet inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?

Some sort of black and vibrant orange peep-toed flats to match this 'orange wooly jumper.'
