Throwback: My Name...

Sarah Jane Kriebel

My parents always liked simple things. They liked old-fashioned names. At the time, they had a dog named Abigail and they thought the name was nice and simple, but having two "Abby"s in the house would have gotten pretty confusing. My mom liked the name Emily, but my dad absolutely hated it. So they finally settled on Sarah... with an 'H'. My middle name, Jane, I think came from my father's Aunt Jane and they loved the simplicity of "Sarah Jane".
My first name means "princess" in Hebrew and my last name comes from the Middle High German word "Krieger" which manes "warrior" or "soldier". But in some cases it comes from the Middle High German word "Kriege" which means "obstinate".

If I had to give myself a name, it would be "Mary Poppins" so I could be practically perfect in every way. :)
