This week we are getting to know ME, Brooke. I am coming up on my one year anniversary of being the social media coordinator for Taylor Joelle Designs. I  am often the main person that you will see on our facebook page, Pinterest, Google+, Twitter, and here on the blog. I have loved getting to know all of you. I had the hardest time finding a picture of myself to share. I am often behind the camera rather than in front of it. Photography has become a hobby of mine since the spring when you all helped me to choose which DSLR camera to own. But, I did find a picture that we used for our Christmas card last year. That shows me that I need to try and get in front of the camera a little more often. 

So, here is a little about me. I have a beautiful 1 and a half year old daughter. I was born and raised in Utah and love it here. The winters are a little rough since I hate to be cold. But, it is so beautiful here year round, that I am willing to be cold. I graduated from the University of Utah and am a Utes fan through and through.

A few “fun facts” about me: I have been a vegetarian since I was 3 years old and went to a local farm with my family. Well, I at least stopped liking to eat meat at that point. My parents stopped trying to make me eat it at age 14. I go by my middle name, which is Brooke, and not many people know my first name. I have short little thumbs that are caused by a something known as brachydactyly type D, which I have heard comes from having royal blood lines (at least that is what I like to tell myself). I was hit by a car on two different occasions as a child (apparently I never learned to look both ways) and survived, and this summer I survived a dissected artery which lead to multiple strokes at age 28 (don’t worry, I am ok now). 

Enough about me… tell me about you!
