A few about me's

My full name: Elizabeth Anne McWilliams

My nicknames and how I got them: Betsy - I got it because Mom and Dad liked it -I think it's unique and BMW - my students figured out on their own that my initials were just like the German automobiles I love - they would chant the letters in the hallway as I passed

My favorite hang out: Pat McGuire's Irish American Grill - the best good clean fun I've had in a while.

My favorite colors: green, red, and yellow

My favorite scents: Easter lilies and men's cologne - and hopefully I'm smelling it on him

My childhood ambition: to be a rock star - haven't made it - yet!

My fondest memories: EBC retreat days with all the girls (Lauren, Candy, Danielle, Maggie, Cristina, Mandy, Sarah, Ellie, Rebecca, Eunice, and anyone else I forgot) and CBC youth group summers.

If my life had a soundtrack it would be: The music of Amy Grant - life is great, messy, and full of purpose all at once

My wildest dream: To lead worship music with MWS, Chris Tomlin, and Bono - all together

My proudest moments: Conducting Handel's Hallelujah Chorus for my 225 students all crammed onto a stage at once and the audience packed with people - I was proud of them! And watching the junior high students perform Romeo and Harriett to a packed and roaring auditorium.

My biggest challenge: Being a choir and drama director when I had VERY LITTLE experience.

My idea of a perfect day: Road-tripping with friends to enjoy food, music, shopping, and each other

My job: Teacher

My last purchase: a CD for my manfriend

My life ...is insane but beautiful - and that's the way I like it!
