Made by Andrea Micheloni Let's see. I'm a mother to a beautiful, hilarious, brilliant three-year-old. Being a mom has taught me to appreciate every single experience no matter how small and insignificant it may seem at the time. I'm a wife to an amazing man. Because of that, I've learned how to pick my battles and create a bond with another person that is ironclad and much more than butterflies and romance (while those are still important). I'm a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, cousin, and niece to the most unbelievable family ever. I have more guy friends than girl friends. I find that I get along with them better. Guys don't seem to sweat the small stuff the way girls do. That being said, I do enjoy the occasional girls night out. Regardless, I have the most phenomenal group of friends. I take something from every person I meet. Whether I know them for a few seconds or my entire life, I can learn something from each and every person. It has made me the person I am today.I am probably one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. I can get along with nearly everyone and I love that about myself, but of course, there are things about me that I'd like to improve on, so I consider myself a work in progress. I have learned recently how to be a more laid back person and generally find the silver lining in most every situation (except Husker football... I'm a pessimistic football lover).I let things roll off pretty quickly normally, but some things may take a bit longer than others. I'm incredibly forgiving and more often than not, I even forget because life is too short to spend it holding onto things that bring me unhappiness. The truth is, I've been seriously hurt by friends in the past, but it's much easier to forgive and forget than to forgive and have to remember why that person hurt me every time I see or talk to them. That doesn't mean I don't learn from it.I cry at even the slightest sentimental moment, but it's only because I've learned not to take a single moment or sweet gesture for granted.I'm almost finished with school. There's so much I want to do in my lifetime, I'm slowly checking off the things on my lifelong to-do list one item at a time (and trust me, it's a long one). I am blessed far beyond what I deserve. God is awesome and has blessed me and my family with an amazing life and so much to be thankful for. Everything that has happened in my life, has happened for a reason and I know that He is in control.
