GO BIG OR GO HOME!

About Me

Well, I'm finally here in NC!!! NC C'mon and raise up! ....aaaaaaanyways, I moved here to begin my life I guess you could say. God has opened a lot of doors for me, and I believe that this is where I have been lead to go. Basically, I just really love to have fun and don't usuallly take myself too serious. Don't get me wrong, I can definitely be serious and grounded, but I prefer the aformentioned state over the latter. Laughing uncontrollably with friends is one of my favorite activities in the world. I love going to the beach, but it takes a lot to get me into the water b/c I am afraid of fish...yup...I know...weird...I think it's more of the fact that they just plain out skeeve me out...all their scales and gross googly eyes and all...uuumm I am probably the most NON high maintenance girl you will ever meet in your life....don't get my wrong, I like to dress up and all of that, but I'm definitely down for playing some ultimate frisbee in the mud. Chocolate is something I think very highly of and I'll eat most anything that has it as an ingredient. I am a clean freak and actually like cleaning my house...it actually brings me satisfaction....haha..I know, weird again...On kind of a more serious note, my passion is fitness and it's a HUGE part of my life. I want to motivate others to be healthy and take care of the body that God has given to us. I plan on opening my own fitness center for children who are overweight/obese. It breaks my heart to know that these kids are going to have a ridiculous amount of health problems that could easily be prevented. I'm tired of hearing over and over how the world has an obesity epidemic and yet nobody lifts a finger to help....so I will. I'm extremely driven and when I set my sight on a goal, don't stand in my way. To save the best for last, I'm a born again Christian and I must say that my faith in Jesus sustains me everyday....I truly strive to live as though today were my last.......Someday.......I WILL be on the Amazing Race.....
