Interests: Dancing (many kinds. i have yet to find a style I don't like). Gymnastics (obviously). Human neurology & psychology. Using gymnastics & dance to help people with disabilities. Disability & other social justicy advocacy. Finding the best speculative fiction. Cosplay. RPGs. Kayaking. Rock climbing. Anything outdoorsy & vaguely dangerous. Learning.
Music: My taste is eclectic. Anything cello, anything composed by Bach. Jonathan Coulton. All that cheesy stuff that was popular in the early 2000s. Music from other cultures, I have a mix tape that's as old as I am called "Around the World in 90 Minutes" & it's the best.

This is why I don't sleep enough...
 
JBS- haha I am watching Deadliest Catch as I read these!!
Ok focus...
I use to be a competitive figure skater
Went to college majoring in Anatomy/physiology then changed my major to Administration of Justice
Worked in that field for years before having a family.
Listen to all types of music.. Mumford and Sons, Imagine Dragons, The Beetles, Van Halen, Boston, Maroon 5, I'm telling you ALL types and eras.
As for TV- Inside Combat Rescue, Once Upon a Time, Duck Dynasty, Modern Family, Top Chef, The Big Bang Theory, Deadliest Catch.
Movies- Tombstone, Twilight (I know, say nothing), Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Act of Valor, End of Watch.
Favorite sound (weird I know) tie between the sound the baseball bat makes when the ball hits it just right on a home run hit OR that thud on the balance beam when a gymnast throws a skill that involves her to tumble and her feet hit the beam with force enough to cause that distinct "thud".
I love laughing especially at myself
And hate Drama!!!!
 
Education- My degree is in Electronic Media and Television Production

Occupation- Gym owner/ director/ coach and full time mom. Yes I know. Absolutely nothing to do with my degree :)

Movies- I rarely watch movies but my favorites are Snatch, Lord of the Rings, and anything based on a book I have read.

Books- I read every chance I get which is not to often but I love the Hunger Games Trilogy, Anything by Jodi Picoult, and anything dark and twisty;)

Favorite Shows- Bones, Castle, Grey's Anatomy, the Vampire Diaries, and Big Bang Theory. I have a kid who strives to be Sheldon (no joke;)

Free Time activities- What are those?? Ha, I love spending time at the pool with my kids, horseback riding, and reading.

Otherwise, I love coaching! My heart soars when a kid gets a skill they have been working on for so long or if the concur a fear they have been fighting with. My gym kids are coolest kids out there. To be able meet all these kiddos with such different personalities and dreams; I feel privileged to be a part of their journey. Which is why at the end of the day I never gave up coaching, and eventually became a gym owner. If you had asked me in college if this is what I would be doing with my life I never would have believed it and now I can't imagine ever taking another path!
 
Wgagym- I have a young 10 year old Sheldon too. He's of course my non-gymnast. It's good to hear someone else out there has another son out there like mine :)
 
What the heck :)

Education: Current student studying health sciences. I'm contimplating nursing school when my oldest is old enough to drive.
Occupation: Stay at home mom/student.
Interests: Reading, playing in my flowerbeds, outdoor activities with the family.
Music: Mostly country and Radio disney hahaha. My kids range from 10-6, so Disney is big in our house :)
Movies and TV shows: I don't really watch TV, it just doesn't hold my interest. Except for Duck Dynasty, LOVE that show!
Books: Anything and everything. I love reading all genres.
Extra Activites: See interests above. That's about all I have time to fit in between running 4 kids around, laundry, housework, and school work.
 
Education: BS in Religious Studies and currently in grad school
Occupation: I am the assistant coach for a local high school team seasonally and help out at a local rec. program periodically, there are no USAG club gyms within an hour of where I'm located and it's torture to not be able to coach year round! I'm hoping to become a judge when the new compulsory routines go into effect so I can have at least a little more gymnastics in my life. I also spend summers working at a camp for low income children in Kentucky, formerly as a counselor but will be spending this summer as a coordinator. I'm excited about the promotion, but a little disappointed as it means less interaction with the kids :(

TV: Modern Family, The Mindy Project, The Amazing Race, and my guilt pleasure is Pretty Little Liars
Movies: I recently saw Silver Linings Playbook which was good and Pitch Perfect

I'll play:)
Education: Master's of Education certified montessori teacher
current employment- Montessori teacher grades 1-3
favorite music: Adelle, John Denver, Pink, Fun, Billy Joel, classical, Enya Dixie Chicks.
Favorite books- Love science fiction and fantasy. Currently reading George RR Martin's Storm of Swords from his Fire and Ice series.
