No sadly I don't own that lobster suit, but thanks to Cara McGurry it looks like i do.
I am originally from Greene, Maine. It's a pretty small town with one blinking yellow light. I absolutely love the Maine way of life and miss the beach a lot. There's just something about the place where you grew up that stays with you forever. I was born and raised a Boston Red Sox fan, and wouldn't have it any other way. I have wonderful parents and two out of control older brothers. I am extremely close to my family and they are some of the funniest people I have ever met.
My background in sports...
I have always participated in sports, and I can get very competitive. At 2, I started to take dance classes and continued that for 16 years, the last 9 of those I was part of the competition team. The other sports I did, I started right when I was old enough and joined the ones that my brothers had been doing themselves. I started with soccer, tried basketball, and then played t-ball, which later turned into softball. I continued to play these sports throughout high school and continue with softball now. Both of my parents have played an important role in my participation in sports. My mom was my dance teacher and my dad still coaches me in softball. I am very thankful that my parents put me into so many sports and that they brought me anywhere I needed to go for practices, games, or camps.I have been lucky enough to be on a lot of very success teams, play among some great athletes, and experience amazing coaching. I find that most of my friends have become so close because we have been on the same team. There truly is nothing like a teammate and I think it's one of the best bonds you can share with someone.
A few of my favorite things are...
my family, my friends, lobster, beaches, Maine, the colors orange and lime green, glitter, TV, the Christmas season, Virgin Islands, summer, soccer, movies, french fries, sandals, strawberry soda, laying on my couch with the remote, softball, Red Sox, Nickelodeon Guts, text messaging, reading away messages, Mariokart, word searches, hibiscus flowers, silly putty, Olympics, scented markers, blacking out my front tooth, wearing sunglasses at night, and the smell of softball season.
