Me, Myself, and Everyone I Love :P

Hello! My name is Tiphanie Brooke Owens if you did not already get the memo and I am so very glad that someone is ACTUALLY reading this. :D My name is Tiphanie which is very unique compared to the normal T-I-F-F-A-N-Y spelling. So I will explain why my name is so unique. It is my parents names combined. Literally. My dads name is Tim and my mothers name is Stephanie. They took the "Ti" from Tim and the "Phanie" from Stephanie and created me! Tiphanie!

My mother is a first grade teacher (explains the creative name) at Collins-Rhodes elementary and my father is a agent for the government. I have two younger siblings, Bradley and Kaitlyn (where the name creativity ran out) whom I love dearly. I love having dance parties with my sister and telling jokes with my brother. They are both an awesome time waiting to happen! I recently got engaged to Brannon Goodrich. We have been dating for seven years! We met on the first day of high school and began dating a few months later. My favorite thing about him is his sense of humor and his great personality (no he is not fat). I live with my Grandma (whom I call Grandma uh-oh) and it is never a dull house with her and I together. She is the typical sweet old lady who is always making the best sweet tea. Mrs. Sheila Goodrich is my future mother-in-law and I love her! I know it is strange to love your fiances mother but there is no way you could dislike her. She is one of the kindest people I know and I am so happy to say that I have truly learned a lot from her. She is the dance teacher at Dunbar Magnet School.

I am a Junior at the University of South Alabama and a member of Alpha Omicron Pi (AOII). I love my life and would very much like to help others enjoy theirs. I want to become a teacher to make a difference (I am sure not doing it for the money). I have been influenced by some wonderful teachers in my life and I hope one day that my students will have the same opinions of me.

Some of my hobbies include; kayaking, swimming, camping, beach strolling, curling up with a book to read, hearing myself talk (great future teacher skill), and hanging out with friends and family. Things I am passionate about include; education (because it is important), animals, my faith, helping others, and food.

I believe most of my friends and family would describe me as outgoing, loving, and intelligent. Some other random trivia about me is that I really love to laugh, my favorite color is yellow, I really like spicy foods, and I don't believe that you could ever have to many friends.

Well, that is me in a nutshell. Actually this is me in a nutshell, "please help me I am in a nutshell"!
:D
