About me….

I am in my late 20′s …. I’m blonde… I think I have a great smile and even better laugh.  I love to laugh; and fully believe it is the best medicine.

I have a strange obsession with working out that developed out of a break up, being laid off and unemployed.  I have started competing in tri’s and completed 4 the 2009 season.

I love my life…the break ups and all.  I have a crazy desire to have my own kids one day – I think I was born with that mothering nature.  I have THE best family in the world…and THE best friends…

Within a few years I lost my grandmother, my father and most recently my best friend; in that order.  My grandmother was elderly, my father was unhealthy and my  best friend had cancer.  I miss each of them every day. Through each of these losses I’ve learned more about myself than I ever could have imagined… I am strong, confident, smart and pretty funny (if I do say so myself).

My laugh will make the room turn their heads because I’m loud… but I don’t care.  I think it’s one of my better qualities.

I want to be a wife, a mother, and a grandmother… I am an aunt, a daughter, a best friend, and a sister….

I’m so lucky to have the best family and friends in the entire world! I also have the worlds BEST doggie…Deuce… I’m devoted to my friends and family and wouldn’t be the person I am today without them.

I believe in a lot of things…I believe that the sun will always rise and you always have a second chance to make things right. I believe that karma will bite you if you aren’t true to yourself, your friends, your family, and others. I believe that the smile tells everything. I believe in God. I believe that you can make it through anything. I believe that love makes everything better, whether that love is through friends, family, pets, significant others or anything else. I believe life is to short to worry about the petty things and I believe in me.

When I lost my best friend to Cancer in June of 2009 her parents and her husband found her daily journal that she wrote in while doing her devotionals each day; before she lost her motor skills she was reading and studying “The Purpose Driven Life” – a 40 day study on what God’s purpose is for our lives.  BFF was very insightful and reading through her journal one quote that she wrote stuck out:

“God, whether I get anything else done today, I want to make sure that I spend time loving you and loving other people – because that’s what life is all about. I don’t want to waste this day.”

It makes a very big impact on me and my life and I read it every day and remind myself that life is about hope, faith and love.  I am blessed to have all three.
