03.22.13 About Me

I collect key chains. For as long as I can remember, I've been picking them up on my travels. It is a relatively cheap and easy souvenir of my trips and places I have visited. I thought they would be a fun way to represent a little of who I am for today's photo topic.

Starting from the bottom middle and working clockwise....

• Cheri's Keys - pretty self-explanatory 
• May - the month I was born
• Whistle with a treble clef - music
• Hard Rock London - I won a trip to London when I was in high school. I danced in the Lord Mayor's Parade on New Year's Day when I was a senior. A defining moment for me. One of the best trips of my life.
• Chiefs - I love sports, especially football, and the Kansas City Chiefs has always been my team
• Camera - photography
• Black Shoe - fitness
• Grand Tetons - This represents being out in nature and hiking. I love being in the mountains.
• Geode - I have a degree in Geology
• Alpha Phi - my sorority and where I met some of my best friends (kind of hard to see because it is clear)
• Graduate 1990 - I graduated high school in this year and moved to Columbia
• Orrick Bearcats - my hometown
• Black and Gold Tassel - I'm a Mizzou Alum (can you believe I don't have a Mizzou Tiger key chain?). This is where I met my husband, where I work, and my team. A huge part of my life. I bleed black and gold.

And now you know a little bit more about me.
