Don't mess with me.

I am merely a girl with a voice, the nerve, and a revolutionary stance that probably causes more problems than it solves; but for as long as there is this little bit of fight and scrap left in me- I will stand up for myself. This laughter, this independence, this foolishness, confidence, intelligence, and strength... I am the sum of these parts, and for that, I am also proud.

Yearbook 0707

I am currently sitting in yearbook beside Jenni, laughing at the awkward poses and expressions captured in a folder of mostly candid's.



Funny thing is... I just met Ben at church on Sunday.

Exactly how I'd like to be remembered...

"Oh yes, Nicole... She made a spectacle of herself on a regular basis, mostly because she loved to hear people laugh. It made her laugh, as well, and her smile was one that she couldn't help but pass around a room. Everybody seemed to pick it up. She liked adventures and so she was constantly taking risks, and trying new things. To be honest, she lived with a continual spontanuity...she thrived off of it really. She let nothing stand in the way of her and her dreams, and she truly enjoyed life."
