10 things you don’t know about me… Cindy Berry-Rajlich

Every week we ask an area resident to give us 10 facts about themselves. This week we talked to Cindy Berry-Rajlich! This post is sponsored by the St. Joseph Dairy Queen.

I have 5 kids ranging in age from 20-12…Jacob, Joey, Hannah, Hope and Henry. I am beyond proud of them!

My kids and I have 2 dogs, 2 miniature goats, 5 chickens and 1 miniature pig who likes to escape.

I am a crazy die hard Chicago Cubs fan, and have been since I was a kid. I may have cried when they won the World Series. 

In addition to being a travel agent, I am also a certified health and nutrition coach. 

I don’t like white melty cheese.

I would much rather read non-fiction books over fiction any day.

I never parallel parked a car until I was 44. 

My favorite movie is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. I can pretty much quote the whole thing. It drives my kids nuts! 

My nickname in high school and college was Chuck…as in Chuck Berry, get it?!?

I have lived in St. Joseph for 20 years and can’t think of a better place to have raised my kids.
