About Me

 

My name is Michelle Lynn Suarez Euperio. I go by Michelle, Michellelynn, Michy, Suarez and even just Euperio. I’ll  pretty much respond to everything. I am 23 years old and graduated from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX in May of 2008 with a Broadcast Journalism degree and a Criminal Justice minor.

 

I had every intention of becoming an entertainment reporter and dreamed of working “The Red Carpet” for E! or Access Hollywood or Entertainment Tonight.  Two weeks before graduation I felt God calling me out of the journalism field and removed my passion for it. Since then, I have dabbled in random jobs including: afterschool teacher for inner city kids, assistant matchmaker, bridal consultant, Victoria’s secret sales associate, girl scout tutor and now a collections agent..

 

I have a random life. I love it. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I know God has a hysterical sense of humor. I feel that every random, hilarious, “seems like only from a movie” moment that happens in my life is probably God needing a good laugh….which happens often…which in turn makes me love laughing and I love making people laugh.

 

I feel people are their most beautiful in laughter. It’s such a natural state of beauty.

 

I was born and raised in a Catholic home. My parents made me join the high school youth group with my sister and brother when I was 9 years old since there was not one for the youngions.  I looked up to each and everyone one of those high schoolers and thought that their faith and enthusiasm for Christ was amazing. I wanted to be exactly like them.  Still I had no real relationship with God, I kept him at a distance.  I transferred to Texas Christian University as a sophomore.  When transferring to TCU, I was debating joining a sorority or not. I came across an outdated, made in the 90s web site with cheesey music web site for a Christian sorority, Eta Iota Sigma/HIS (He is Sufficient). I remember saying in my head,  “that’s gotta be the cheesiest thing ever..definitely would not be joining that.” Lo and behold, my roommate who was roommate for about 2 weeks only, was like, “hey you should come with me to an open meeting.” I thought I would go just to be polite. I went and fell in love with everything!!!!!  The girls had the same enthusiasm and passion for Christ, if not more that those highschoolers I knew growing up.  I was going through a hard time and my “enthusiasm” and “joy” had been a front, to keep everyone happy, to keep everyone away and because that’s what everyone expected. I knew their passion for Christ was real and I hungered to be that way. It also blew me away that these women were soooooo outgoing, soooooo crazy and sooooo passionate for God. Growing up, I had this image that in order to be a “good christian”, I was supposed to be soft-spoken, gentle and quiet…. honestly everything that God did not make me. haha.  These women helped me find my own relationship with Christ and became my community, my accountability and my best friends for the next three years. The first time I fell in love with God was on my 1st mission trip to New Orleans. That 5 day mission trip with people I did not know who came to become some of my best friends, changed my life. I had always had my guard up but it was New Orleans where I realized how much I hungered for Christ’s love and how much I needed him more than I thought.

 

God gave me a passion for traveling and have been blessed to been able to go to Canada (haha does this count?) the Philippines and Ireland. I have always felt closest to God when on my mini adventures travelling.

 

 I spent the summer before my senior year of college in Hawaii. I was supposed to take a summer class but ended up learning about myself and just being romanced by God’s beautiful creations of sunsets, sand, mountains and fell in love with Hawaii. I hope to one day go back, go to school to become a relationship counselor/sex therapist/marriage and family counselor there.

 

 Ireland… 🙂 I loved the people there and many of the people I met in Hawaii the previous summer where there in Ireland when I went so that was an absolute treat! Ireland came at a perfect time right after graduation where I was yet again down in the slumps. I found myself again and came back a confident woman who found her confidence in Christ alone. It has been one of the best trips ever.  Everyone was so friendly and I was so blessed to meet everyone that I met there!

 

I’m from Dallas, TX…Mesquite to be exact… which is a little city about 20 minutes east from Dallas. I grew up with amazing family who always supported my random antics and still loved me for it. 🙂 I have an older sister named Joy (who has always been my joy)  who is married to my kindred spirit brother-in-law, Steve, who we will one day do The Amazing Race together. My brother, Michael, lives in Boulder, CO with my soon to be sister-in law (in August, yay!!), Kelly, who not only takes care of him but also whips him into shape. My cousin, Charlene, is also one of my best friends who’s been like a sister growing up. I live with my parents. They’re fun. They have the biggest hearts of anyone that I know and are constantly serving in the Church, serving their community and those they can help. My family has always been my inspiration.

 

My friends are my angels. I love them all dearly. I have many best friends… but they have seen all sides of me and have been my support and strength these past years.  Each one of those relationships I know will last until I decide to cut them off… haha jk They are without a doubt, some of the best people that  I have been blessed to know.

 

 Lets see… things I love: awesome conversations, britney spears (she’s my guilty pleasure), coconut flavored snow cones, orchids, peanut butter, cookies, laughing, dance parties, the rain -especially dancing in it, great cup of mocha, people watching, smiles, naps, palm trees, onesies, attempting to play my ukulele, dumb & dumber, the office, people, being able to finally realize why God had said no to so many things I thought would be best for me.

 

Life is always beautiful…just a matter of perspective.

 

Things I’m not too fond of: roses, gossip, being too cold, spiders and thats about it!

 

Have any questions? just ask! 😉 loves!
