My Mom~Tammy~Keeps things running at home. Without her we wouldn't be able to find our heads most days!

My Dad~Leo~Owns a Crance Service and some real estate.  He is a strong Republican and has influenced my life greatly.

My 'Lil Bro~Taylor~is the coolest lil guy I know.  He is hilarious and never fails to make me laugh.  We do a lot of awesome stuff together.

My 'Lil Sista~Lauryn-My Pookie~is so special to me.  When I prayed for a little sister God answered quickly.  She keeps me on my toes and can always put a smile on my face.

My Cousins~Desiree & Denai-Dez & Nai~are like my adopted sisters.  They live next door to us and we spend a ton of time together.  Desiree and I have been close from the start and have grown up together.  Denai can make anyone laugh.  She is the funnest second grader ever!

God has blessed me with the best friends ever!  Most of my closest friends are in my grade and we have so many memories-ranging from Kindergarden horrors to our hilarious lunch time conversations today.  They are so special to me and every one of them has influenced my life in one way or another!

Also I have met a lot of awesome people from all over the country.  My Young Apostle trip this past summer has given me many oppertunities to make really awesome friends.  They have completely changed my life and help me strengthen my faith everyday.

My closest friends are: Jesus Christ, Joel, Tyler, Amber, Samantha, Lori, Michael, Jena, Mary, Rachel, Shannon, Jessica S., Jessica V., Nic, Kris, Lucy, Guine, Anthony, Father Bill (TX), and Steve.

*Jesus Christ is totally WOW!  He has saved me from so much more than I could ever ask.  He totally "ROX MY SOX!"

*Tyler has been my best friend for SO LONG!  We have had so many crazy convos and hilarious memories!

*Amber has been an awesome friend from day one.  She has always been my shoulder to cry on, and the one to help dry my tears.

*I just met Nic this summer, but he has really influenced a few changes in my life.  No matter what the issue, he is ALWAYS a positive encouragment.

*Steve is so awesome.  I don't know how many times I have called him, and he has ALWAYS been there for me.  He is the greatest!

After a life changing experience at a youth conference in the spring of 2002 my future plans started to change.  Slowly I started to get back into the Catholic faith and focus my life on a more serious future.  Then this summer, serving as a Young Apostle and spending a week on the campus of Franciscan University, I heard my call.  Now my plans of being a politician have faded and I am now focusing on a career in teaching Theology and Youth Ministry.  I have always wanted to be a teacher because of the one on one interaction I would have with youth.  I believe that Youth Ministry will be great for me because I love to witness to others through my hyper and talkative personality.
