A Little Bit About Me

I am blessed to be a born and raised Michigander. 

and I love it for all it is.
Gotta love the 4 seasons. 🙂

I graduated highschool in 2007 from an amazing town just north of Grand Rapids (Go Rams!), and went to college less than an hour away. I graduated from GVSU in 2011 with a BS in Health Communication and minors in Public Relations and Psychology.

I have an irreplacably crazy family and the most supportive friends a girl could ask for.

My little brothers…yes, I am the oldest. Somehow people can never tell….I’m just short!! 🙂 I love them more than words can say.

And one of my favorite quotes of all time:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
