| Introduction | I have been happily married to my college sweetheart-James-since March 2003. He is a mechanical engineer at Syntron in Saltillo. We have two wonderful November babies: I went into labor with James 'Jake' William on Thanksgiving Day 2005 and Marion 'Mari' Ruth was born twenty-five minutes before Jake's second birthday in 2007. I finished my masters degree in May 2006 and took a break to play Mommy before starting my Ph.D. in the Fall of 2008. We completed our family with baby surprise Alice "Ali" Anne in February 2010. |
| Interests | All the usual things-when I get time to myself these days. I find that reading is a great escape from the stress and pressures of everyday life. |
| Favorite Music | I could listen to Christmas Music all year long (but for the sake of every one else that rides/lives with me I don't). Pretty eclectic mix, depending on my mood, situation and whether my children are present or not. Avett Brothers, Foo Fighters, Outkast, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Boston, The Beatles, Gershwin, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Schubert... |
| Favorite Books | Ten Apples Up on Top, Pizza Pat, Their is a Beast in the Bathtub, If you give (Mouse/Moose/Pig, etc) a (cookie/muffin/pancake, etc), 10 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, anything by Agatha Christie (most especially' And Then There Were None'), Freakonomics, Good to Great, Savage Inequalities, The Sacred and The Profane, This Time Will Be Different, Culture and Education Policy in the American States, American Federalism: A View from the States, Democracy and Public Service, The New Politics of the Budgetary Process, Implementation, Southern Politics in State and Nation, I could go on and on... I love books! |
