I get by with a little help from my friends.

About Me

Well...let's see here. I'm Mexican! Now that I got that out of the way...I'm from TX (El Paso to be exact...well that's at least what my parents told me). I totally grew up thinking that every birthday party had a pinata, everyone's mom made tortillas at five in the morning after dad went to work, and every party always had all your aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, second cousins, third cousins, and so on. Let's just say that I had major Culture Shock when I left Texas. I come from a crazy/fun family of five. I got the fun part from my parents, my brother and sister got the crazy! So...to sum up, I'm 5'7 and a lot of fun.

Tennis, floating, anything outdoors, traveling, melted snickers bar, the smell of water gun water
