A Person Of Many, Many Interests

My niece, Elizabeth, is one of the busiest people I know. As a teacher who loves her job, by this time of year, she is also looking forward to the end of the year! She has more free time then, to do the many other things she loves to do! Even though it’s only March, she has already begun raking the yard to prepare it for the spring. Elizabeth has a real eye for what will look nice in the yard, and she enjoys shopping for flowers and plants that will create that atmosphere.

Elizabeth also loves to travel and has the opportunity to do a lot of that during the summer. She and her sister, Jenny, and her niece, Aleesia, drove to Colorado to attend a Christian concert earlier this month to see a group of bands they all enjoy listening to. They had a great time and cannot wait to go to the next one! Elizabeth loves concerts and attends many during the year. Especially during the spring and summer. She almost always goes to Nashville or somewhere else to see her favorite singer, Carrie Underwood, at least once a year. She jokingly calls Carrie, her “BFF!”

This year, Carrie will be in Montana. Elizabeth and two of her good friends, Lacey and Jamie, will be attending that concert, and spending a few days with Jamie’s family in Montana. They all like a good road trip but haven’t been able to get together to travel for a long time so they plan to take good advantage of this opportunity to do both things.

Elizabeth is also a huge sports fan. Her top three favorites are football (Denver Broncos), baseball (New York Yankees) and basketball (Denver Nuggets), in that order! She and her lifelong friend, Kristina, who lives in Colorado with her family, traveled to Denver last September to see the Denver Bronco’s play, and last week they went to Denver to see the Denver Nuggets play. Elizabeth has even traveled to New York to watch the Yankees play more than once! She is such a sports fan, that her little dog, Holiday has to be dressed up in a jersey for each team whenever she watches a game on television! Her other pup, Gracie, would have to wear a jersey, too, except that Gracie has ripped hers off, and shredded them in disgust the few times Elizabeth tried to put them on her! She has been known to dress her other dog, Scout, in jerseys, too, but Scout has escaped lately, since Holiday tolerates it so well, or at least most of the time!

Elizabeth is very close with all her siblings and with her cousins. They all get together during the year for concerts, games, and downtown events. This girl is very rarely not busy. Probably only when she is asleep!

I would have to say Elizabeth is a person of many, many interests and never lives a dull moment! Happy birthday, Elizabeth!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
