Because the only person I'm really close with in my family is my mama (who I love SO much), my friends have become more like family to me. Therefore, my friends are a huge part of my life, and I love spending time with them. Here are pictures of me and my two best friends, I love you guys!!! I just wish I got to hang with them more. (Sorry to the rest of my friends, but I couldn't put pictures of ya'll because I ran out of space on my disk. SORRY!!!)

Here is my best friends, Ashley. We've been friends since first grade at GBES. Here we are at our senior baccalaureate last year. |
Another one of my best friends, Dara! She's the crazy one, that can always make you laugh. Here we are celebrating our high school graduation. |
SPORTS!!!
I've grown up around sports my whole life. My dad is a sports fanatic and I guess you can say that I inherited that from him. My two favorite sports are baseball and basketball. I love any type of baseball and am a huge college basketball fan.

| Football Senior Night '04. I was a manager for the varsity football team in high school. Here is a picture of my dad and me getting ready to walk out onto the field to be announced as a senior of the football program. | Baseball Senior Night '05. I was also a manager for the OC baseball team for three years, with my friend Ashley. Here we are being escorted by Dara, as we were announced as seniors at Porterfield Park. |

My favorite baseball team is the New York Yankees. Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada, and Mike Mussina are some of my favorite players. I can watch just about any type of baseball. |
I mainly watch ACC basketball, although I watch it all during March Madness. My favorite team is the Virginia Cavaliers. GO HOOS GO!!! WHA HOO WHA!!! |

MY PETS!!!
I am also a huge animal lover. I have never gone a day growing up without a pet. My favorite animals are dogs, because they tend to be loyal and don't annoy you like people can. Right now I own three dogs. My oldest dog is Reebok, a shepherd and husky mix, came from the Charlottesville SPCA, and is the best thing anyone has ever bought for $35. Reebok is soon going to be 11 years old, but you'd never know it by the way he acts. My other two dogs, Rosie and Sable are sisters that we got from my uncle. Rosie and Sable are beagles, that were originally suppose to be hunting dogs for my dad until I got a hold of them and spoiled them. OOPS! It's hard to believe, but they'll be 7 in March.

A poem by a great poet.
“And 2morrow”
Today is filled with anger
Fueled with hidden hate
Scared of being outcast
Afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
Nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
Violence in the air
Children bred with ruthlessness
Because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
But the pressure never stops
gnawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
A chance 2 build anew
Built on spirit, intent of heart
and ideals based on truth
And 2morrow I wake with second wind
And strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my dream alive
-Tupac Shakur
