Hey what's up! Michelle Santos over here... or if you knew me from YFC it's Mitch... or maybe you knew me when aol was new, then it's Mia... or from clubs it's Santos =)
Anyhow, about me... I’m 28, have been living in the Seattle area (Seattle, Shoreline, Northgate, Renton, and Greenwood) all my life and am absolutely happy here. I’ve been doing real estate for about 11 years now, and I just LOVE it! Work is the basis of my life because I’m usually working, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm grateful for all the information I’ve learned over the years and I am happy I’ve been able to use it towards my life. Yes, I’m all grown up now… =)
I have an awesome family and it's great that we all get along so well. I’ve been with my boyfriend, Derek, for almost 11 years and we're two peas in a pod =) It wasn't easy at first, but we finally got the hang of it. I am truly in a relationship with my best friend and we couldn't be happier. He’s everything I want, everything i need, and we’re lucky to have each other.
I live with my sister, my nephew, my boyfriend, and our two dogs. My sister, my mom, and I are usually together because we enjoy a lot of the same things and… we're so corny, but damn we LAUGH! We have the same humor and it's laugh out loud, laughing until you cry, falling out of your chair funny! And my step dad just makes our family complete. Oh, how I love my family.
I try to live my life as GREEN as I can. We eat organic as much as possible, I buy organic daily products and biodegradeable almost everything, we recycle, reuse, conserve, etc... The goal is to leave this world a better place for future generations, AND I am really proud of my family and our efforts to live healthier, less toxic lives. And I am damn proud of the fact that I don't smoke or drink!!
I like everything done a certain way, but that’s due to the fact that I have a little OCD. I wash my hands a little too much because I hate germs, I watch more TV than I’d like to admit, I’m a bit of a night owl, I’m a complete optimist, love football, love Christmas, love winter and snow, I’m a fan of sudoku, love to read, love to grill, love the outdoors, love to travel, love great restaurants, love to decorate, I have a butt load of allergies, and I just love how English people say “absolutely†hehehe =P and most importantly I’m a total FOODIE. I definitely have a PASSION for good, fresh, food. The way food tastes, looks, sounds, tons of different combinations... best way to describe my interest is "remy, from ratatouillie" =) You name it, I bet I can cook it. Good food, good wine, good company, good conversation… now that’s my idea of a great night.
I’m not perfect, but I have a happy life. I have a good job, a wonderful boyfriend, great family and friends, two of the most obedient dogs ever, and my nephew is just adorable. Lots more to learn, lots more to do, lots more to see, but I’m happy where my life is heading. I guess growing up isn’t all that bad ;-)
