About Me:
Ok, About me...I'm 24 years old and I'm juat starting to find out who I really am. I'm strong-willed and will not let the fact that I had cancer define who I am. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I show my true emotions in my eyes. I love to sing and put on mini-concerts in my car. I dance like there is no one else in the room. My family and my faith in God are very important to me. Sometimes I pray all night long. I've been in love a whopping total of once in my life, and I finally realized that he wasn't worth the tears. I always have the best intentions but the worst follow through. I'm a huge procrastinator. I love meeting new people, and I make friends easily. I tend to talk quite a bit and sometimes I say more than I should. I am very outspoken, and have a bad habit of speaking my mind. I have a thick Southern accent and get picked on for it constantly. There's no place I'd rather be than home. Whether it's down in the woods on my deer stand or just hanging out with my family. I am definitely not perfect, but God made me the way I am for a reason, and who am I to argue with God?
Ok, a little bit about my past. When I was 15 I was diagnosed with Acute Promyleocytic Leukemia (APL), and I spent nearly 3 years at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It is an AMAZING place! The doctors there saved my life. I also underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant. My sister, Jennifer, was my donor. It is very rare for siblings to match, but she was a 100% match. My other sister, Heather, spoils me, but I don't see anything wrong with that. LOL! Without God, my family, and my friends(that actually stuck by me) I wouldn't be here today.The head transplant doctor, whom I respect very much once told me that God saved me for a reason, and once I got well, I needed to go out and find that reason, my true purpose. That meant a lot to me, and that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to find my purpose in life, and for once, trying to make my life make sense.
