Blog About My Life

My name is Christine B. Body, but I go by Chrissy, and in high school (and occasionally in college ) people called my by my last name, or variations of it. A lot of people get my last name wrong because it looks like body, as in the belly button is a part of the body. It is pronounced like the skier Bode Miller, except with a "Y" instead of an "E". Another way to think of how to pronounce my last name is with a bow, as in a bow and arrow, and a "D", as in D-Fence (when it comes to cheering for a sports team) or just simply defence. I was born on February 27, 1989 in Cleveland, Ohio to Al and Joyce Body. I live in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, which is about 25 miles east of Cleveland, and have lived their my entire life. I have an older brother named Acey (short for his real name Alfred Carpenter)29, and an older sister Bridget, 27. I attended Gilmour Academy Lower School for elementary school, The Ratner School for middle school, and Regina High School for high school. I am currently a junior, accounting student at Walsh University. There are many  physical activities that i enjoy, but only four are my favorite (depending on what season it is) skiing, swimming, wakeboarding, and running. I have been skiing since I was 2 years old. When my parents got married, my dad said to my mom "Joyce, when we have kids, they're going to be on skis by the time their two years old!" Sure enough all three of us were. I have been swimming since i was very young as well, competitive swimming since i was about 5, and in the water since birth (at least an infant). Wakeboarding and running came around later on in high school and college. One of my favorite things to do is travel, whether it is just me or with friends and or family, I love it! All my life i have been taking family vacations up to Canada during he summer, my aunt has a place up there that we visit. I have been to Canada (which is nothing), Australia, Italy, The Vatican(it is its own country), The United Kingdom (Scotland), The Bahamas, and America, and possibly one or two more in the Caribbean. My favorite food...that's tough because I like a lot of different foods, but if I had to pick just one food i would probably go with Italian food. Below is a picture of my family. From left to right is my dad, sister, myself, and my brother. I am blogging for a class called Integrated Information Systems and the proffessors profile on blogspot.com is walsh2011.blogspot.com I know there is more to me, but I don't feel like saying anymore, so i am cutting it off here.
