A little more about meeeeee

So I figured I’d let everyone know a little more about me as I’m just starting this thing. I am the oldest of four. I have two brothers (Zach, 14 and Drew, 12) and I have a sister (Nikki, 20). I live at home currently (I live at UD during the school year) with my mom (Betsy) and my little brothers.

I don’t have a very strong relationship with my sister. She dropped out of high school during her junior year and moved in with her boyfriend who is the same age and did the same thing (drop out). After two years, she has announced to everyone that she will be bringing a “bundle of joy” into the world in November, and as a result of this, her and Stephen were going to get married. The only problem with this is neither of them has a job, a car, a high school diploma or GED, they have nothing. They live at his grandmother’s house and sleep on a mattress on her living room floor. This makes me feel so bad for my future nephew/niece, and I have tried to talk sense in to her, but she doesn’t want to hear any of it.

My grandma (Susan) plays a huge part in our lives. She lives ten minutes away and I see her pretty much every other day. Last year, she was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer and I was terrified. Luckily, they caught it early enough that they removed the lump and she went through radiation and she is fine now. She's the best grandma in the world! 
She would kill me if she saw this picture ;)
Ok, back to me. :D lol I have three tattoos and 12 piercings.

I also have my belly button and nose pierced. 
For this coming year, I will be sharing a room directly with one of my best friends, Bonnie. We met freshman year in religion class. She actually lived on the same floor as one of my friends from high school. We hung out a few times freshman year, but it wasn't until sophomore year that we really became friends. We then lived together junior year and we will be living together for senior year as well.

We will also be sharing a house with three other girls. When we were doing the housing lottery, it was just going to be the two of us and we got an apartment at the very edge of campus. Luckily for us, there is what is called a "second chance lottery" where you put your house/apartment back into the drawing and you can get a different house. One morning before this, Laura and Sami contacted me asking if we might want to try for a five person house. Bonnie and I thought sure (even though we had never met these girls) because anything would be better then what we had before. We ended up getting an awesome house right in the middle of the student neighborhood and I'm really excited to get to know Laura, Sami and Erica. They all seem really cool!

Also, I forgot a part of my family. We have two cats. I hate them and would rather have a dog, but it's nice to have a pet, I guess.

Well I guess that's enough for today. I'll probably post again later if I have time and nothing else to do.
