About Me

MySpace Editor

MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor Icons Collage MySpace Graphics MySpace Codes...An aquarius, easy going, a kid at heart, honest, hardworking, open-minded, indecisive, unpredictable. A little scatterbrained, a little weird...ALWAYS late! Kinda quiet, kinda crazy, depending on the day. Easily amused, never in a hurry...Analyze everything! A total procrastinator! Believe everything happens for a reason... Love to laugh, love to travel. Somedays I'm a real girly girl, other days I'm content just being one of the "guys". And while I may look like the girl next door, don't be fooled! I have a wild side too ( Just get enough alcohol in me! Ha ha!) Overall, I am very go with the flow. I try to just enjoy life and make the most out of situations. I rarely argue, unless it's something VERY important to me. I also don't just talk for the sake of talking...well, usually anyway. Ha ha! My friends might disagree with me on that one. Speaking of that, my friends and family are my world. I dont know what I'd do with out them! They accept me for me, even with all my crazy quirks and I love them for that.
Enough rambling...I'm currently a senior at the University of Utah and working on my bachelors degree in Psychology. I swear I've been going to school FOREVER! I just started taking some teaching classes this semester and I am considering double majoring in Early Childhood Education. I figure I'm going to be there a while. :) Either way, I want to work with kids once I'm finished with school. I really believe that kids are our future and ALL of them deserve to be loved, cared for, and listened to!! :) I have the best job in the world! In fact, I'd probably do it for free...wait, I practically do already! Ha ha :) I work at the Children's Center where I teach nine adorable kids who I absolutely love. It can be frustrating sometimes, but it's totally worth it.
I'm married to my best friend. I never thought I'd marry young, but life's crazy...you can't help when or with who you fall in love. We're total opposites, so don't ask me how we manage to make it work. We just do! :) I guess it's our differences that make our relationship so interesting...Never a boring day, thats for sure! :)

Heroes:

Anyone who stands up for what they believe in really... I know it's predictable and lame, but everyday people really do inspire me more than anyone else. I believe that everyone has greatness inside of them, they just have to be given the right oppertunity for it to be recognized. My mom is definitely my everyday hero. :) She's has been through SOOOOO much, yet she still remains strong. She is the most giving woman I know. Always thinking of her children above anyone or anything else. She is confident, positive, straightforward, independent, driven, and knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. She's not afraid to take chances and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Because of this, she has accomplished so much in her life and has always managed to do what makes her happy. She's big on living life to the fullest and reminds me of this everyday. I look up to her so much. I'll be happy If I end up half the woman she is.
