About Me

Checkout what I've BeenUp2!"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation ... It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." -Robert Kennedy, South Africa, 1966
I wish I could get my friend Ashlie to write this part, she is such a better writer than I. I am someone who really loves life, especically the people I get to share it with. I have been blessed my entire life with amazing friends. I have friends from grade school as well as great friends from this last year. I love traveling and wish I could do it more often, but work keeps me busy! I am a Regional Sales Manager for Benefit Cosmetics. I love the job, it's an amazing opportunity to pour into other peoples lives. Its such a high to make a women feel like a million bucks! I am a Christian and its highly important in my life. I pray daily that I can be a great example of what Jesus calls us to be. I fail daily at that prayer...because everytime I get in my car and the guy in front of me is going 55 in the fast lane...I loose it. I think every person has hope to make thier lives better. I think laughing with friends is one of the best ways to spend time. I have a 15 yr brother who is the joy of my life. He makes me laugh, sing at the top of my lungs and have impromtu dance parties at a moments notice. I love kids, I have great friends who have amazing kids that I get to be apart of. I work too much, but at the end of the day I feel content in where the Lord has me for now.***** This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
