About Me

I am a fairly simple girl from Iowa. Throughout my 27 years I have figured out some things about myself...but I also continue to learn new things everyday.

1. I am adventurous and I love the simplicity and complexity of nature.
2. I always look forward to change, but when it comes down to it...I really battle it.
3. I am very sensitive
4. I tend to be a rule follower...but definitely have streaks of (what I would call rebellious and others may not:)
4. I love people and friendship
5. I hate confrontation...always have and always will.
6. I love school more than I love work...I sometimes wish I could be a full time student for a living
7. I love sports..watching and playing
8. I love to be around people and it is hard for me to spend a significant amount of time alone.
9. I'm a worry wart
10. I tend to be messy....but have difficulty acknowledging it
11. I'm very competitive and sometimes I make the smallest things into competitions.
12. I care

Bittersweet day for the Reinholds

This has been a very exciting and hard time for my family. My dad, Tom, a.k.a TR sold his business and retired today. On the one hand it is great because he gets to retire after working at the Locksmith shop since he was in elementary school. He has definitely put in more than enough hard work for a lifetime. I will be forever thankful for his hard work providing for my family. On the other hand, it is very sad because the business has been in our family for over 100 years! It actually started in Holston (or something like that) Germany. For those of you Quad Citians, there will be a nice article in the QC Times from Bill Wandrum tomorrow
. Our family is very excited for my dad and proud of him... it is also hard to let go of a family legacy

. My dad's shop reminds me of cheers. Every time I go down there, my dad has "regular" customers. I swear my dad knows everyone downtown. Everytime someone walks in the door..they say "Hey Tom". I just want everyone to know how special my dad is and if you see him...please congratulate him:)
