About MEre

I am a newly wed. 

I am an elementary school teacher. 

I am a daughter, sister, friend. 

I am a person who wants to be 
strong, healthy, and fit. 

I want to work to balance all areas of my life. 

My name is Meredith.  I am 27 years old and live near Hickory, North Carolina.  It isn't the most urban or hip area to live but it is home.  I grew up and live on my family's farm.  I love the land and the beauty it contains.

I attended Elon University and majored in Elementary Education and Special Education.  While there I became a sister of Alpha Chi Omega.  At Elon I met the wonderful man I would marry.  After graduating from Elon, I earned my M.Ed. in Literacy and Language at Salem College.

I currently work as a second grade teacher and absolutely love it!  I love teaching skills that my students will use for the rest of their lives.  I enjoy fostering a sense of respect of self and others within my students.  My favorite time of the day is when I read to them, their mouths agape and eyes sparkling.

On July 14, 2007 I married the most wonderful man!  On that day I felt proud of how I looked.  I had spent the previous 6-8 months watching my diet and working out.

After getting married I fell into a diet and workout rut.  I still worked out and tried to eat right but had no passion.  But in early 2009 I got the "running bug".  Since then I have enjoyed running 5Ks, 8Ks and 10Ks.

 I have goals of completing a half and full marathon in my lifetime.
