If I could change anything in the world, it would be…

My life…

Always…
take chances
Never…
take the people in your life for granted
Favorite Quote…
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

crossing off everything on my bucket list
My Pet Peeve(s)…
only because this just happened this morning, but when you’re driving behind
