Hi from Salt Lake City, Utah!
This is a waaay delayed intro post; life did that funny thing it does and threw some fun changes my way. Last year my husband and I accepted jobs in Salt Lake City, UT, so we downsized from a 2-story house in Orlando, FL and took a 36-hour drive with our poodle mix to our new 2-bedroom apartment! Whew. Things have finally settled down enough, so I can get back into attending cons and collecting a few ponies.
Do you work or attend school? Profession or major? My BA in English led to a tech writing, content editing at an OTA, and now an account executive at the same OTA.
Who are the important people in your life? My wonderful husband, mom, and sister. Plus, my aunts and uncles in Puerto Rico. There are also a few amazing best friends from high school and college in far-flung places that I still video chat with often.
How long have you been collecting? Formerly collecting, maybe 6 years. Although, my G1 childhood ponies (e.g., Twinkler, Baby North Star, TE Speedy, and TE Tic Tac Toe) have always stayed with me. Every so often I clear out a few ponies and start collecting a different G1 line just to keep things fresh and fun!
Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1 Twinkle Eye, G1 Glitter, and G1 Rainbow ponies.
What made you want to collect ponies? My favorite childhood ponies still bring me that sparkly joy I felt as a kid when I see the bright colors. The big move and downsizing forced me to really take a close look at what to keep in my life and what to let go, but the ponies still bring me joy so with me they travelled!
Thank you all for having me.
