A day being Fay-Miss

Many call me Hilary, my first name. Others call me Miss Fay, a title plus my middle name. Although, one day I would like to be called Fay-Miss Hilary… a little jumbled now but I like the ring of it, I can already see flashing lights in my eyes – paparazzi! This video below, that I created of my friend Danielle washing her dog Lucy, may be my break…what do you think?




Semi-joking! It would be nice to be famous and have a lot of cash and nice cars but...where were we? My name is Hilary Fay Greene and I grew up in Chittenden, VT, a little town outside Killington and Rutland. Last weekend I went back to Chittenden to go hiking and camping with friends. Below is a picture of the beautiful Chittenden Dam where we stayed and where I spent a lot of time growing up;

In high school, my family moved to Burlington, VT, where I graduated from high school. After graduation, I attended Colorado Mountain College and continued to enjoy the outdoors and my love for snowboarding. From there, I moved to Utah and did the same. After being in Utah for a year I decided I should make college my first priority, which meant moving back to Burlington and concentrating!

You may notice that I am not in school this week; this is a result of my love of snowboarding. I tore my ACL last winter at Stowe and got it fixed yesterday. I love a good excuse for a blog so check out Hilary’s Hobbles, a journey through my ACL reconstruction.

This vouch says ouch!

I will graduate from Champlain in December with a Marketing degree and want to find a job that I LOVE and have fun doing! I don’t know what this could possibly be but I guess I will know when I find it… or maybe I will start a blog taking you on my journey down the red carpet- fugue vouch!
