Anyone passionate, inspired, optimistic, patient, creative, loving, thankful, understanding, witty, humble, compassionate, caring, giving, trying...All things I strive to be.-----Someone who can't wait til they get home to call and say what an amazing time they've had with me; who'll lead me into a room with their hand on the small of my back when I'm nervous; someone who will reach for my hand as I turn to walk away; someone not afraid to make grand gestures...or small ones; someone who finds beauty in the little things.

My mother-I hope to one day be half the amazing woman she is. My grandmother-97 years old and still truly living every day. My friends-I'm so thankful for their love and support that I would be so lost without.
