I created this blog to keep the people I love up to date on my life. I will try to update it weekly! If that doesn't happen remember that I am busy and will do the best I can!

Some random thoughts










Today is February 2nd, my birthday is on March 30th. That is not very far away.

I will be turning 20 years old.... gross, that's old.

Not really OLD but it's not little, I'm not a kid anymore. I have mere weeks left of being a teenager. Soon I will no longer be able to blame my mistakes and blunders on my naivety, ignorance and youth.
Lauri was born when my mom was 20...

Things to do before I'm 30: (things in bold I've done already)
  • see a show on Broadway
  • keep a journal or blog (doing good so far)
  • touch an iceberg
  • hug a tree
  • sleep under the stars
  • ride a hot air balloon
