I am proud to be a native Texan. As a wife and mother, I learn something new every day. I am driven and intelligent, and I am really, really good at problem-solving. I find puns and grammar jokes hilarious. I wish Google headquarters were in San Antonio. I think fonts are genius because they present a double-meaning - what they say in letters and what they say in shape, structure and strength. I find beauty in function. I am drawn to balance but am intrigued by imperfection. If I did not live here, I would live in Spain. My best ideas come to me in the shower, where I am surrounded by nothing but my own introspection. Give me a red pen, ask me to edit, and you can call me happy. Toiling in my yard is the most wonderful example of hard work = great reward. I struggle with cynicism because I have high expectations of humanity. I thrive under the pressure of a deadline. If you want to be better, run with the best. Family is everything. Life without faith is grim indeed. I believe love is a promise, not a feeling - because there are mornings I wake up beside my husband and I do not FEEL like I love him, but I PROMISED, "I do." Finally, my daughter is the most beautiful, functional, intriguing thing I have ever helped create, though I cannot take credit for her miraculous and awe-inspiring design. Glory to God and my family, without whom I would not B.
