My name is Michelle Tsivgadellis (sounds like: shivadellis) and as you can probably guess, I am in a class all my own!! I realize that the picture above is quite old... you'd think I would have at least Photo-shopped out the date, but no... haha
I chose this picture because it was taken my second year teaching Kindergarten and it brings back great memories!! I will not get into a ton of detail about my life (as it would be depressing for me and for you), but I will tell you that I grew up in sunny, Southern California!! I LOVE the beach!!! There is nothing else in this world that is so powerful, yet peaceful at the same time.
Yep.... this is me.... in Kindergarten!!! I will do you all a favor and spare you the horror of showing you my pre-teen photos after my adopted mom decided to get all of my hair chopped off like a chia pet, so she wouldn't have to brush my curls every morning...I was so traumatized by the incident that I have not allowed even one person cut my hair since that retched haircut!!
I now live in Arizona with my husband of (almost) 14 years and our two children (please refer to the happy family photos below).
I just found your site and I LOVE it. You are very creative. I can't wait to see what you do next. Stop by my blog and say yellow.

Also AZ, here... Tucson. BUT!!!! I lived in Buckeye when I was born! I was born at Maryvale Samaritan Hospital because buckeye didn't have one. It was uber tiny when I was there. Then I lived in Casa Grande from first grade to college. :D
DeleteI love your blog!! I'm a tad obsessed with the graphics you make teehee. Actually my button has a border from here ;)
And is that your hubby? What a hottie! :)

I just found your blog today! I am not an Arizonan, but it was my home for 4 years when I went to NAU! I am a So Cal native and teach down here in the IE...sorta like a not-so-hot version of the greater Phoenix area!
