Blog Post 1

Hello!  My name is Elizabeth Fleming.  I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama.  I am married to Beau Fleming and we have two children, Buddy and Betts.  Buddy is my son who is almost three and Betts is my daughter who just turned one.   
I started my college career at The University of Alabama, also in the Education department.  Before finishing there I moved to St. Augustine, Florida while my husband finished physical therapy school.  We then moved to Mobile and I am now here at South finishing up what I started!  When I was little my favorite thing to do was "play school" and for as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a teacher.  I always had a lot of respect for my teachers growing up because they taught me so much and I loved to learn.  I look forward to being able to do that with my own children and students.
My first love and passion is for my family.  I love spending time with my husband and children.  Anything to see a smile on their face makes me happy but I also have some other hobbies.  I love to paint.  Painting allows me to express the creative side of myself and it is very self rewarding to see the final product.  I also love the beach and being outdoors.  I enjoy playing or just watching most any sport.  I played volleyball all throughout high school and enjoy tennis as well.  Having gone to The University of Alabama and having grown up here I am a huge Alabama football fan.  Like most other women, I enjoy shopping.  I could probably make a career out of it but I do not think that my husband would be too excited about it!
