Making Memories Of Us: About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Kristin and I am currently in my late 20s. I live in a beautiful city in southern Virginia and love every moment life has to offer!

I was born and raised in a beautiful small town in Northern Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountains..

I have two younger brothers, Brandon and Bryan whom I am very close to. My brother Brandon currently works at Chick-Fil-A corporate in Atlanta, Ga and my other brother Bryan is a senior at Shepherd University studying business marketing. I have two of the best parents a girl can have, Dave and Angie. My parents have been married for 35 years and I give them all the credit for making me the person I am today.

As for me, I attended college at James Madison University and got my undergraduate degree in History and Political Science. I decided to continue my education immediately after college and received my Masters in Teaching at J.M.U.

While attending college I met my wonderful husband, Will. The minute I met Will I knew that he was the "one". He was so different than any guy I had ever met. For he actually talked as much as me (which I love to do) and had the best sense of humor anyone could have. From that day forward we were never apart. (more on our love story in the future)

Will & I

After years of dating , an engagement, a lavish wedding , and 9 years later we both live in a small city in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Currently, I am a high school history teacher in one of the country's top ranked high schools with some of the best students. I teach on average 155 kids a day ranging from Advanced Placement to regular college bound. I love my job with all the rewards it has to offer. My hubby, Will, is currently a medical device representative and works in the ICU unit in VA, NC, and WV hospitals.

The love our life right now is our 2 year old silver lab Lilly. Lilly is the center of our world. She goes everywhere with us and is never left out of anything we are doing.

I am also very close to my husband's family. Will and I love to travel, play golf, and spend as much time as we can with them.

A few of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to travel and play golf. Our main travel spot is in Myrtle Beach, SC where my husband's family has a condo. We enjoy spending our summers and holidays there. We also love to travel to the beautiful island of Bermuda. Over the years, we have fallen in love with this island for it's wonderful hospitality, golf courses, great food, and people.
