Hey there, above is a couple of pictures of me by my computer. I recently changed my hair color to blond, so I thought it'd be fun to have a picture showing both the old and new colors. Though I think I like the darker hair better, it's always fun to play around.
Random Info:
I graduated from Eastern Michigan University last summer and have since relocated to a southern suburb of Chicago - Joliet.
I now live in my own really wonderful apartment, and I'm hoping to find a job very very soon in my field of choice, which is accounting. Right now, I'm working as a bank teller, but REALLY, if anybody knows anyone who knows anyone who knows someone in accounting, please help! I WANT TO USE MY DEGREE!
ME AND SOME FRIENDS
That's a picture of my twin sister Lindsey. Isn't she just adorable? Yeah that's what I thought! I also feel the need to state I also have a wonderful older brother named Joey...unfortunately, he's opposed to any kind of picture taking, so no pictures.
Here's me and my best friend Greta from back home. She took me out to Canada for my 21st birthday and we had an awesome time. This is us at the Windsor Casino.
This is me and some of my friends back home in Ohio.
From left: Betsy, me, Anita, Laura, and Gwen.
Here's me and my roommates from sophomore year...Krystal, Courtney, Katie and me

This is me and my roommate of two years during college, Kate
This is me with BOTH my former roommates, from left:Kate, Jenny, and me.
*By the way, CONGRATULATIONS TO JEN! She's getting married to the sweetest guy in the world next July. Best part is, I get to be a bridesmaid...so good luck to you both CJ and Jen.
ME AND THE BOY
This picture is me and my boyfriend Pete, who I basically was the reason I relocated to this area.
We have been dating for nearly 2 1/2 years.
***Pete recently asked me to marry him in the most wonderful way possible. We went for a trip to Disneyworld, since I've never been there and we could get tickets very cheap. On our second day there, in Magic Kingdom, he arranged for a portrait artist to do our portrait and write "Marry me?" on the finished product. I, of course in complete shock, didn't quite realize what was going on until I look to my right and see Pete on one knee holding a ring. He started saying something, and before I knew it, everything was quiet and I realized I had to say something in response. My answer of "Um, yeah!" will always remain a romantic response he will never (let me) forget.
Here's a picture of the ring and a picture of the portrait done at Disney for those out of state friends.
Here's some more pictures of us together, because...well I can and I want to!
Thanks to BOB for the first 2 of the following pictures!!!
