Me

My name is Colby Bridges. I grew up in Carthage, and I have lived there for almost my whole life. I married my high school sweetheart, Brittany, in 2005, and we recently had our first child, a son named Bronx (pictured above). Bronx's name comes from the fact that I am a huge New York Yankees fan. I wanted to name him something unique, and I wanted it to be relevant to the Yankees because he has a Yankees themed nursery, and I want him to share my love of baseball. I talked my wife into Bronx after much debate, but now, we could not imagine him being named anything else. My son has changed my whole world. He has been my main motivation in coming back to school. I have realized that I want to be able to work and provide for him in a way I can not without a college education. I am majoring in pre-physcial therapy, and I plan on getting my master's in physical therapy from Missouri State after I graduate from MSSU. I am a little nervous because I have not been in school in over two years, but I now have the motivation I need to finish my degree.
