Me, Myself, & I

Picture
I wear many hats. not because I'm a fake and try to fit in everyone, but because I'm not just one person. I don't have just one group of friends. There's more to this girl then meets the eye!

Athlete

Our Medly Relay at Champs!
From soccer, to swimming, I've played it all. Not on a professional team... but in a group, official or not. Right now I'm a hardcore swimmer! In my opinion, it's the best, and hardest sport to do, but it's oh so rewarding! You can be an individual, or work as a team. Either way, there's nothing better then cheering and being cheered for. And I must say, I've made some pretty awesome friends along the way.

Daughter

I love my parents, even though we get in our little spats sometimes. My mom is a beautiful and strong individual, and I admire everything about her. My dad is hard-working and very determined, and he either pushes me farther or knocks me down when I get out of control. Both of them are a little crazy, especially my dad, but I love them and they love me! What more could I ask for? (An iTouch maybe...?)

Little Sister

My brother, Josh, is the kind of brother that keeps me grounded. We get along great, plus some brawls here and there. He's a big dork, and I adore him for that. Plus, he's an amazing swimmer, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm completely jealous. But in the end I'm always happy he gets a really good time! He's my Joshie Bear! I love my little airsoft-playing ninja!

Family

We all have our teeth done by the same dentist :)
As you can see by the photo, my family isn't what you would call "normal". We all gather at Grandmas' house once or twice a week to just hang out, eat some dinner, and watch some TV (this can range anywhere from American Idol and House, To Hockey and Football!). We're a very close-knit family, and I couldn't imagine us being any other way! I've grown up with the strength and security of at least 10 different people on a weekly basis. We're hug together, ry together, laugh together, and share each others memories!

Friend

My friends, oh goodness. Well, I can't really say my friends are a whole huge group who I hang out with all at once, because that wouldn't be true. I have friends from so many different kinds of cliches, and they're all amazing! I love being with them, whether ir be just relaxing in their basement of jumping around in a wheelchair on a trampoline (no cripples were involved, or harmed in the process). All I can really say is that my friends mean the world to me, and I would be no where without them.

Girlfriend

Alex & I before Prom
I put girlfriend in here for two reasons. 1) I've been dating Alex for about 2 years now, and I'm still not sick of the guy! and 2) He means the world to me, and he's a very important part of my life. Alex is like the cinnamon clusters in my cereal bowl of life. He knows exactly how I am and loves me anyways! He;s been with me through a many tough times an
