Howdy


Hey guys my name is Samantha. I have lots of nicknames but most of my friends call me Samantha or Sam. I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. I am a huge Kentucky Wildcats fan. The first person I recognized by name other than my parents was basketball coach Tuby Smith. I am also a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I have no personal connection to Pittsburgh but I originally started liking the Steelers in the 5th grade because all my  friends liked the Colts and I wanted to support an opposing team, but I have been loyal ever since (which can be very challenging at times given the Steelers's current record) I come from a huge family of a lot of loud, opinionated women, and I am the youngest so I know how to speak up to be heard, so naturally I have a big personality. My favorite TV show of all time was Heroes (which was canceled a couple years ago but is being revived as a miniseries in 2015 and I am very excited) and of all the superheroes on the show the coolest, in my opinion, was Peter who absorbed the abilities of those around him, so that would definitely be my choice of powers.  My summer revolved around my family, mainly my Uncle Bob who is currently battling stage 4 throat cancer. I spent many hours in the hospital visiting with him. He is an amazing man who is incredibly strong and my goal has been to keep him laughing which is essential in kicking cancer’s butt.  I have been extremely blessed with an amazing family and although I am an only child, I grew up with 3 cousins who have been like siblings to me. Here's a collage of really old pictures of us
 
 

I am not a very excitable person and don’t “geek” out about anything in particular, but I have a taste for anything from the 90’s. Some of the greats came from the 90's like Biggie Smalls, Sex and the City, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Titanic, Pulp Fiction and Pretty Woman. I also have a love for comedy. Watching late night talk shows, stand ups and Saturday Night Live are how I enjoy spending my free time. That being said here's one of my favorite videos of Jimmy Fallon and Will Smith. Enjoy!
