Here you go world -
I am the oldest of four children. I have two sisters and one brother. One of my sisters has a seven year-old son, named Jacob, which I love more than words can say. My father was born in Italy, and came to the U.S. when he was nine years old. My mom was born in the United States, but is Italian as well. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago.
When I was in third grade, and at least a head taller than everyone else in class, I started playing basketball. I played on school teams, traveling teams, recreational teams, you name it. I just love the sport! I was always the tallest person in school (students and teachers too), until I was a sophomore in high school. That's when the boys finally passed me up! I continued to play all through junior high, high school, and through my second year of college.
I went to Elmhurst College, where I received my Bachelor's degree in Communication Science and Disorders. I then attended Saint Xavier University, where I graduated with my Masters (M.S.) in Communication Science and Disorders. This is my tenth year (I cannot believe it!) as a speech - language pathologist, and I love my job! I love working with children and their families, and collaborating with other professionals.
When I am not working, I enjoy going out, exploring new places, shopping, and hanging out with family and friends. If it is a relaxing day, with nothing planned, I like to watch my t.v. shows (which are always recorded on my DVR) or to crochet, a new hobby I have been learning and loving for the past year. Life is good!
Here are a few of my crocheting projects that I have given as gifts -

And yet I have so many more projects I would like to try. Maybe this or this or maybe even this! The possibilities are endless!!!
