I'm Not a Writer...

....so don't get confused.  I have blogged on and off for several years now, but I've never truly stuck with it.  I hope to be different this time, so bear with me.  But before I get into "regular" posts, allow me to share some random information about me that you may or may not care about:         
As stated in my bio, I am just a simple college student.  I am currently a Sophomore, almost a Junior, and I haven't taken an English class in about 2 years.  So my posts might not be as elegant as others, but maybe I can share some stories or information that is interesting, educational, or even funny to you (let's be honest, the funny part probably won't happen, but that's OK).  Let's see...what else.  I am the oldest of 5 children who was raised by amazing parents.  They were somehow able to stay sane while homeschooling all FIVE of us.  I act like it was a huge task, but in reality, we were, and are, good kids.
Here's a nice picture of me with my siblings and parents. Oh, that's me, in the grey shirt and Chacos.  I just realized that I am wearing an outfit right now that is almost the exact same as the one in the picture...college.  My family includes my parents Donnie and Stacy (pictured top right), myself, my sister Harris Anne in the light blue shirt, and my three brothers David, Hudson, and Jack.  Yes, I am the oldest and currently have two siblings taller than me, and I'm not even short!  I will probably write another post specifically about the Walker family, because they are definitely interesting.
I am currently dating the most AMAZING man on the planet (what girlfriend wouldn't say their boyfriend is amazing, but mine actually is) who happens to have a very interesting life as well.  We both attend the same college, and that I am very thankful for. He studies Marketing and I study Exercise Science.  We keep each other company while we're away from our families, and we get along together very well.  Our families have known each other for years but we never more than friends before a few years ago.  Oh yeah. Did I mention that he's a quintuplet??  Don't know what that means?  Well, have you ever heard your mother talking about how having one child was?  Imagine having five boys...at once.  Yes, FIVE kids, sound familiar? Except Taylor and his four brothers were born only minutes apart.  Sounds like a blog post waiting to happen, right?
Finally, I have the most adorable fur child on the face of this earth.  Her name is Temperance Brennan, named after the character with the same name from one of my favorite TV shows, Bones.  She was a graduation/birthday present from my parents.  I got her from the local shelter and when I first saw her, she wasn't that cute.  She was sad and lonely, but I was drawn to her. As soon as she came home, she perked up and now she's the cuddliest, sweetest, most amazing dog in the world and she's one of my best friends.
Well that's basically it!  I plan to write posts on fitness, college, coaching, and just life in general.  Stay tuned if you wish :)
