About Me

I love life! I smile all the time...I don't see how I can't being me! I'm incredibly blessed! I'm a pretty determined person and I'm also pretty quiet...but I promise I talk. I love music!!!!! I am a lover of songs and a fan of songwriters...I am at a show seeing them perform their songs around Nashville pretty much every night. I love pictures. I'm from South FL, but now live in Nashville, TN to go to Belmont University and major in music business. I'm hoping to work in the music business in the publishing area....it's a crazy business though so who knows where I'll really end up!
My birthday is August 20th. I love seeing the stars at night. Breakfast is my favorite meal...I can eat it any time of day. I spend a lot of time just lying down on my bed, staring at the ceiling and listening to music. The only place you'll find me at more than Target and Kroger, is at a great show around town. I love the Disney Channel. I love old couples who hold hands. Kids make my heart smile. I love butterflies. I love it when people remember me. I'm a simple girl who gets excited very easily. I actually like being the middle child. I want to get a little black puppy and name her Chiquita. I have no clue how it all works, but technology fascinates me. My biggest pet peeves are long nails and leaving the lights on when you're not in the room. I'm stubborn. I have the tastebuds of a 5 year old. I hate wearing black. I love boots, scarves, and high heels. I have way too many tank tops. I'm sometimes a little too laid-back. I could live on macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, and chocolate. I'm a very happy person, but I love slow, sad songs. I'll take a small intimate show with someone almost unheard of over a big concert with a big star any day. I'd rather drive the long ways than the busy faster ways. I moved to Nashville on my 18th birthday. I love driving downtown Nashville with the windows rolled down. I have a strange obsession with downtown cityscapes. I love snow (hey...I'm a floridian). I love thunderstorms (if I don't have to drive in it). I love November.
