Hi! My name is Stevie. I live in St. Peters, Missouri, which is about 30 minutes west of St. Louis. I went to the University of Missouri- Columbia (Go Tigers!) and now work for a Footwear company in St. Louis. My official job title is "Line Builder Trainee- Boy's Development", but I am also still assisting the Senior Line Builder in this area as well. Basically, I am a footwear designer for little boy's shoes. I love my job (most of the time) and feel very lucky to be able to do something so fun at only 26 years old.
Besides my job, I am basically your typical twenty-something single gal. I bought a condo about three years ago and love living there. I also have a cat that I adopted from the Humane Society. Her name is Princess Sparkles and she is probably about 5-6 years old. I know, I know, before you let your pre-conceived notions get the best of you, I want to stop you right here- I am not, repeat NOT, that single girl who lives with cats ( I promise). You see, I love animals. Dogs and cats especially. I've always grown up with animals and couldn't imagine life without them. I would love to have a dog, or several for that matter, but the small space (an 1000 sq. ft condo), and a job that is 30 minutes away would make that very hard on a puppy dog. So that's why I got a cat... She is fine by herself all day (in fact, I'm sure she loves it.) and we are equally excited to see each other when I stroll in.
Ok, enough about that. Let's see, besides my job, my house, and my cat, I also enjoying living so close to my family members and friends. I can honestly say that I would never end up moving back to my home town after I graduated college, but somehow, that's how things worked out. Not that I am complaining, I love my family and friends and I could never see myself separated from them now. So let's start with my family....
My parents names are Steve and Judy. My Dad is a native St. Charlesian (is that a word?), but my Mom is originally from Spokane, Washington. We won't go into detail about how they met, but let's just say it's been 31 years and things seem to be working out. They are not only great parents, but great friends as well and I am very blessed to have them (and all of their idiosyncrasies:)).
Scott is my older brother. He is 28 years old and is a P.E. teacher. He's also probably one of the funniest and most laid back people that I know. You could tell Scott that the world is ending tomorrow and his typical response would be "Sweet, I'm gonna go take a nap". He lives in St. Peters as well, and has two roommates, a room dog (Beans- Kyle's Basset Hound), and Scott's puppy, Riley, a Golden Retriever.
Well, now that you know a bit about me and my family, I'm gonna check out for the night. Please look for more blogs to come!
