About Me

Usually one of the first things I do when I discover a new blog is click on the “about” section. It’s always so interesting to learn more about the person behind the blog. So when it came time for me to create my own about me section, I thought a question-and-answer type format would be the easiest way for you to learn about me. 

1.      Where are you from?

I’m born and raised in Florida. I lived just outside of Tampa until I was eight and then my family moved to just outside of Orlando. I moved back to Tampa to attend college and it is still where I currently live.

2.      Why did you start a blog?

I was inspired by the other blogs I read to try one of my own. It’s an interesting way to keep track of events and memories, as well as possibly meet new people who share similar interests or feelings.

3.      What do you do for a living?

For my full-time job I work in the office of a staffing agency. Every day brings something a little different, which keeps things interesting. I love the people I work for and other people in the office. On the side, I recently started an Etsy shop called Amy Lowe Designs. I wanted an outlet for all the crafting I do, but I’m still trying to find my niche. I like to dabble in lots of things and am always excited to learn something new. I’m hoping with some hard work and a little bit of time I can make it a success.

4.      Did you go to college?

I went to the University of South Florida…GO BULLS!! I majored in Environmental Science and Policy. I absolutely loved my college experience!

5.      Where/How did you meet your husband?

I met my husband our freshman year at USF. We were introduced through mutual friends at a party and hit it off. Five years later we were married.

Ten Things You May Not Know About Me:

• I feel that I over use exclamation marks all the time, but I can’t help myself. I like things to be cheerful!

• I didn’t like mashed potatoes until about two years ago. I’m weird about food texture, and mashed potatoes always reminded me of baby food. My husband made me try them again and now I love them!

• I am a dessertaholic (I just made up that word). I can’t eat enough dessert food!! Not so much with cake; but cookies, pastries, chocolate candies I die for. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

• I wish I had an accent like Paula Deen. I love the sound of her voice.

• I am afraid of horses. Not the kind of afraid where I won’t go near them, but they make me nervous.

• I like roller coasters, but nothing with a vertical drop.

• I played the clarinet in middle school.

• My nickname growing up was Amy Girl (actually my family still calls me that).

•  I was never a cat person until I found a stray cat. I named her Halo and now she’s my little baby girl!

• French toast is my all-time favorite breakfast food. It’s sooo good!!!
