So much of what is great has sprung from the closeness of family ties...I love my family so much!! We have the best time together whether it's traveling, playing, laughing, or just talking!! I am the fourth child out of six kids. My parents are wonderful and the best examples, and my siblings are my best friends! I have four sisters, one brother, one brother-in-law, 2 nephews, and 2 nieces. I couldn't ask for anything more!

My girlfriends are the best! I am so grateful for this handful of friends who have been there for me ever since kindergarten! Our friendship is unique and brings me so much joy! Erika, Alysha, Jessica, Julie, Stephanie, and Danielle will forever be my best friends who I can call on anytime, go on adventures with, have laugh-attacks, and have deep conversations, or no conversation at all and feel content.

Some people pursue happiness, others create it. I believe it is almost essential to take time every day to do something silly, because Laughter is the closest distance between two people. These are my same girlfriends who enjoy the simple things of life and being with each other! Being forever silly is about as much fun as it gets!

There are many things I love to do...dancing is one of them! I have been dancing all my life and have enjoyed every second of it. My passions and hobbies also lie in skiing, ice skating, photography, singing, playing the piano, ice-skating, volleyball, basketball, hiking, ice-skating, hairstyling, scrapbooking, and did I mention ice-skating?!?! Someone once said, "Determine that the thing can and shall be done and then...find the way." I like that.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take each moment, but by the moments that take out breath away! The natural wonder of this earth will forever astonish me! I love being outside to explore the beauty all around, and soak in the amazing things God has created.

I love to travel! Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to travel and visit many unique places...this picture was taken at the highest point in Germany on Mt. Zugspitze. Some of my favorite memories are those that I've spent with my family on vacation! We do not remember days, we remember moments.

Cherish Yesterday, Dream Tomorrow, Live Today.

May The Adventures Continue...
