About Me

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky... But, rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." - Eskimo Legend...................................................... ................................... Currently 27, back in Michigan after traveling the country with the AmeriCorps*NCCC program. Which was quite possibly the best thing i have ever done with my life. Now i'm home, i'm doing family stuff, working, and fixing up the house that has been more of a pain than i ever could have imagined. (Note to all non-homeowners... think before you take that step.) I have one semester worth of credits left until i get my degree, and am eagerly awaiting the day when that will happen. Passions in life include, but are not limited to: photography, writing, snowmobiling, dancing, shooting pool, music, family, volleyball, and most recently~ skydiving. Totally incredible. Thought of the Year... Have you ever been somewhere that seemed to make all the pieces in life fall into place? Somewhere different from where you grew up, because that will always be home, but a somewhere that made you instinctively feel as if you'd finally found the place that you belonged? That feeling is one of the most liberating and wonderful experiences you could ever have. Having to leave that place is one of the worst. Anyone from Class XI... i miss you guys. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
