Introduction to a Kid at Heart

Hello! My name is Kelly and I'm a junior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in Psychology! I'm from Houston, but when I was 3 years old my family moved to Indonesia and we lived there until I was 9. Living overseas allowed my family to travel to all kinds of cool countries in Asia and around the South Pacific. If you want to learn more about my travels check out my post about two of my favorite places!


While I love to travel, I also have interests that I can do a little closer to home. I love to golf and I've been golfing for pretty much my whole life. Both my parents play and our house is actually on the golf course! I played on my high school's varsity golf team all four years with two of my best friends, Madi and Emma.


I'm an only child so my parent's and I are really close. They are my biggest supporter's and they are the people I go to when anything in my life is happening, whether it's good or bad.  They like to send me pictures of their lives as empty nesters, especially when they are at a party and I'm studying for exams.

The light of my life is my dog, Auzzie, an Australian Shepard with one blue eye and one brown eye. He'll be 12 years old in November but you would never know because he still loves to have his bone thrown across the yard for hours on end without ever seeming to get tired. One of his other favorite activities is trying to herd the golf carts when they drive behind our house, especially when he knows they are going the wrong way.

Something that I think is kind of cool about me is that I've been collecting all the different state and national park quarters since I was really little. My grandma (my dad's mom) and I  would try get all the states that had been released that year when I would visit her over the summer. My dad and I started collecting the nation parks quarters when I was a junior in high school and it's something that keeps us connected when I'm away at school.

I love to read and watch TV. There is just something about being a part of a whole new world and getting a glimpse of someone else's life that really draws me in. I don't really have a favorite TV show but my favorite books are the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and The Summer I Turned Pretty series.

Two of my most favorite foods are Kraft Three Cheese mac and cheese (my mom makes it the best) and grilled cheese with ketchup  on the side for dipping (which my dad makes the best). My favorite grown up foods are crab cakes or tortilla soup.

Thanks for reading a little bit about me!
