I love love love my family! They have done so much for me and I could never thank them enough! My parents now live 2 hours away from me, and it's tough sometimes because I am very close to them. I also have a younger brother, Justin, who is 17 and is going to be a senior next year. I love my grandparents and my great-grandma is my world! I love them all to pieces.

I am getting married to the love of my life this December 12th! I am beyond ecstatic to finally be marrying him! Me and Matt have been together since sophomores in high school. My best friend introduced us and we clicked ever since. He means everything to me and I am truly blessed to have him as my future husband. He is the greatest thing that has happened to me. He is attending FGCU as well and is majoring in Civil Engineering. We love to go to movies, dinner, and to the beach! We also love to race his Lightning on the weekends and just hanging out with our friends.

My best friends and I loved books written by Lurlene McDaniel. We would take turns buying them and reading them. My favorite was called Angel of Hope.
