Our people: Talk and travel

My name is Janelle Mack. I am a mother of two children. My daughter Michaela is 19 and my son Jacob is 14. I love to travel and watch movies. I like comedy and horror movies.

Tell us about your pets:

We have one pet. His name is Jackson. He is a Yorkie Terrier mix. We adopted him almost a year ago and we just absolutely love him.

How did you meet your spouse?

We met in high school. We didn't like each other at first. It was definitely not love at first sight. Then one day, we kissed and we immediately fell for each other! We have been together for 23 years and married for 21.

If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?

I would love to time travel. It would be amazing to be able to see history and experience it. I think it would be better than just reading it in a book. I would also like to see how my grandmother lived when she was younger.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a judge. I was obsessed and amused with the law and justice system. I still am! I have always watched criminal shows.

What do you collect?

I collect antique teacups and teapots. There is something about them that reminds me of better times. The days when friends and families would gather together for tea and TALK!

Do you have a celebrity crush?

I am in LOVE with Robert Downey, Jr. He has the best personality and sense of humor.

Favorite quote?

"Though she be little, she is fierce!" - By William Shakespeare

What's an accomplishment you're proud of?

The biggest accomplishment in my life was getting my bachelor's degree in social science. I never thought I was smart enough, but I did it!

What do you hope your life will be like in 10 years?

I hope to be financially stable, retired and traveling the world.
