Hello! I'm Sarah and this is a peek into my little life. I grew up in Plantation, FL and lived there with my family for the first 18 years. I went up to Jacksonville for my first year of college at UNF and decided that I HATED the bible belt and the cold and also, my gerbil-killing roommate. After that first hideous year, I went up to Boston for a Save-the-World seminar as a part of the org. 'Oxfam'. The seminar was okay... I learned about fair trade coffee and lesbians, but the best part of it all was Scott. He and I met on the airplane to Boston and we've been together ever since (Just over 3 years now...) After that Summer in Boston, I moved back down to South Florida and tried FIU out for a year. Living in Kendall sucked come serious balls and I dont speak enough Spanish for that lifestyle, so again, I transferred schools. I broke the news to my parents that I was moving in with Scott to an apartment in Weston,and going to go to the Art Institute in Ftl. (My mom and dad both totally love Scott... actually everyone does) I started school at AI and was working as a sales rep for a furniture store for awhile. Then, I decided I should give modeling a try. I found a photographer and had a comp card made and things started to happen for me. I went to a handfull of agencies in Miami Beach with my photos until I found a good match for myself. I eventually started making enough money that I could afford to quit selling furniture to model and go to school full time. After a year of living in Weston, Scott and I (and our two fluffies Buca and Bailey) moved East near the beach into a swanky little loft. Slowly but surely, he and I are taking over the world one fair trade cup of coffee at a time!! We are still so in love and I think we'll get married in a bit. I'm sure that I annoy the shit out of him daily, but he seems to love me despite everything. My circle of friends right now is small as usual. I am a tricky person to be friends with since I have a live-in boyfriend and so much else going on in my life, but Becky and Maria are some awesome girls that I love spending quality time with. On a final note, my passions in life at this moment are vacations (as many as possible!), modeling success and building strong relationships with the people in life who mean the most to me. Scott and I are going on a cruise around the Western Caribbean in September to survey some places ouside of this country where we can move after I graduate school in a year. We need to escape Florida for awhile. I'm also trying to escape the fashion-friendly mindset that I've adopted since I started modeling. I have lost some sight of what's really important in life (which certainly is NOT expensive shoes and designer sunglasses.) I feel like I need to get back in touch with nature and with myself. There is no point at all in working everyday to pay for credit card debt and fancy things. Ugh! Fuck the Jonses... Anyhow, check back for an update soon. My mood swimgs happen often :)
