Addy
Whenever I go out-n-about I always get thrown off when a child cries for their dad.
“Daddyyyyyy!”
me: *looks around in all directions to find the person so eager for me and then is disappointed to find out that the calling is a wee little 3-year-old boy searching for help from his father when his ice cream chunk plops off the boy’s kid size cone*
My parents were going to call me ‘Delaney’ before my mom had a mysterious dream about the name Addy and just knew it was meant to be! Thank gosh she did because I can’t picture myself as a Delaney. My full name ‘Addelynn’ is after my aunt’s middle name ‘Lynnette’, Lynnette+Addy=Addelynn!
Anatomy, Grey's
Grey's Anatomy is by far my all time favorite TV show. It's about fictional surgeons in Seattle going through their internship, residency, and eventually attending and their personal lives and hardships. This show has inspired me so much when it comes to chasing your dreams and what it's like to accomplish them. This summer I watched all 11 seasons, 244 episodes, 175 hours and 10,492 minutes of Grey's Anatomy's nail-biting, hand-wringing surgeries and heartbreaking, tear-rollin’ changes. It was worth every second(:
Apple
Whenever I hear the word ‘apple’ my mind always tends to flash to the family-owned Wilson’s Apple Orchard just down the road from my house. Biting into that crisp, juicy, tangy fruit while laying in one of the many booming rows filled with robust little trees protecting shiny red spheres from the violent hands coming to take them to their death is one of my favorite things to do in the fall. On the weekends, my family and I will take the 5-minute roadtrip to the busy orchard and hop on the tour tractor where we are then courted around what my dad calls “God’s land”, because of how beautiful and undisturbed the apple nursery is, and pick the freshest, crunchiest apples in the whole wide world!
Aquariums
I actually really enjoy visiting aquariums even though I’m not obsessed with animals! The Atlanta aquarium is my very favorite. Although it’s fun enjoying the amazing marine life and learning interesting new facts I feel bad for the animals :(
Brother
I have an 11-year-old brother, Egan. I am always told that we are the same person just of the opposite gender which I choose not to believe.(; At times we have a Bert & Ernie kind of relationship but otherwise it’s Tom & Jerry! (not sure who would be who, though) [see: Memorable Stories]
Burritos
Burritos are a gift from God himself. Especially one’s from Panchero’s! You sink your teeth into that warm, chewy tortilla and immediately feel the sensation of a mixture of perfectly marinated chicken, gooey queso, cool sour cream, tangy pico de gallo, mexican rice that has the perfect texture and, of course, ya gotta have that sweet corn!
