My Life In a Nut Shell

  My name is Amanda.  I'm eighteen and a senior in high school.  As we all know high school is one crazy ride...my story is no exception. In the past three and a half years I've fallen in love, had my heart broken (my love life is one crazy ride in itself), and changed myself into a person that my before high school self would know, let alone expect. 
I have a mom and a dad that, against the statistics of this world, are still married.  I am the oldest of four kids, one brother (15), and two sisters (10 and 2). 
I have a good and interesting group of freinds.  Kyli, my best girlfriend, Gregory, my slightly more than friend, Kadee, the person I can always depend on, and Jared, my shrink. (:  I'm a friendly person.  I like and get along with almost everyone but these are the people that I am with all the time.  Most of us, the only exception is Kadee, goes to the same charter school.  Kadee is my best friend in my ward. 
I'm LDS and I don't know what I'd do without it.
I've spent the past ten years in musical theater.  I'm a natural actress.  Sometimes it's good to escape into somebody else's world, but most of all I love to dance.  My family think I'm stupid to pursue something like dance, but something sparked in me when I started ballroom two years ago and I'm not giving up on it.
I'm red headed, blue eyed, and short, and I have the personality to match it.  You can see me coming from miles away.  And I like that about myself.  I'm comfortable in my own skin.
That's my life in a nut shell.  Hope you enjoy the blog.
