About Me

My name is Renee Boettner, and I am almost 21 years old. My birthday is September 9^th, also know as 9/9. And since I was born in 1990, my full birthdate is 9/9/90. This rather remarkable coincidence caused my 9^th birthday to fall on 9/9/99, and my 19 birthday on 9/9/09. One might assume that 9 is my favorite number, but that isn’t the case. My favorite number is 11. Why? I really don’t know, but I actually don’t care for the number nine much at all.

I am an avid reader of almost every genre – everything from fantasy to instruction manuals. Even though most people consider instruction manuals the height of boring prose, I think it’s fun to read them in Spanish. I have learned a lot of new words that way, surprisingly enough.

I also practice my Spanish while I fulfill my other life passion – dancing. Right now, I’m focusing on Argentine Tango with the group Tango Wilmington. It’s exciting to learn a new dance form after two years of salsa dancing with my former dance partner, Franchesco. I hope to go to Buenos Aires, Argentina, the greatest tango city in the world.

When I’m not reading or dancing, I can be found making jewelry. I have my own jewelry business, Tutterfly Designs. I love having a creative outlet – especially one where I can embrace my love of all things sparkly and make something useful at the same time. I usually produce two themed collections a year. My premiere customer club is a group of my best customers – because of them, half of my last collection was sold before the collection debuted to the public!
