I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, it's never easy to write about yourself but here goes...I just finished Paramedic school and am finishing up testing. Finally, I thought the day would never come! I will be starting the STL County Fire Academy in April!! I tried my hand in P.R.and Marketing but decided to follow through with a dream that I had as a little girl. I absolutely love what I do and can't imagine it any other way. The things I am a part of on a daily basis certainly test me at times, but they have molded me into a stronger person. I look at it is a constant reminder of life's blessings. I dont have much spare time but the little that I do is spent in the company of family and good friends. My nephews are my world, their hugs are priceless. My mom and my brother are some of my best friends. I wouldn't be here today without them. Anyone that knows me would say I wear my heart on my sleeve and I speak my mind even when I shouldn't. Gossip, I believe is for people that have nothing better to do with their time than live vicariously through other's lives. I try not to be a part of it, not my cup of tea. I have a big heart and tend to do anything for just about anyone. But dont deal with B.S. either :) I believe in second chances because everyone makes a mistake here and there, but don't take advantage of it. I'm pretty straight forward for the most part, but from time to time don't say all that I want( it's a rarity)! Sometimes I hold things in, just as any girl does. But for the most part when i've got something on my mind, I like to get it off my chest, bottom line. All I ask for in a friend is honesty. If you have that, you've got everything and I'll do my best to give you the world. I still haven't figured out everything, probably never will. Does anyone? I can honestly say that I have learned from some mistakes but I think it adds character. Everyone makes them, I consider them minor bumps in the road. :) I may think about things too much at times but I suppose that's just part of who I was raised to be. Thanks Ma! I grew up with a strong, stubborn, southern charm and hope that I dont step on anyone's toes. Sometimes it's inevitable though. I tend to be sarcastic at times and I have my bro to thank for that. Love to joke around and I'll smile even on my worst day, but I dont hide being ticked about something well. Hugs, I believe can cure a sad face or a bad day for just about anyone, may that mean giving or getting, they're the best. Laughter is the best medicine for any heartache, don't ever forget it. I love making people laugh!! My sarcasm is usually the root of it all. I sometimes lack that little thing called tact, sorry I tend to tell it like it is. This stuff is addicting and I am enjoying being able to keep in touch with friends, old and new. I love sports, played soccer for years and love my Cardinals. LSU is my favorite football team. Love to mountain bike as well. I consider myself a transplant from Louisiana, but have adapted to the Lou seeing as we've been here for quite some time. Like I said, friends and family are a huge part of my life. Love going out with my girls too, we get a tad bit silly from time to time but it makes for great stories. I am firm believer in Karma and everything happening for a reason. Though we may deal with many trials and tribulations in our lives we are tested for a reason and it only makes us stronger. If ya want to know more about me -just ask!
