Hello!

Hello, fellow classmates (and Graham :))!

I figured I would make an introductory post to start off. Here are a few things about myself that I may or may not have missed our first day of class.

1. Probably the most interesting thing: I studied abroad in Finland last school year. I believe everybody should at least travel abroad.

Now who knows where Finland is? :) I saw this goofy ad in the metro in Paris this past May. It reminded me of the "Visit Michigan" commercials. A fun Finland fact: they're always stereotyped as being quiet and shy, I couldn't help but laugh at this ad. If anyone is interested in reading my blog while I was in Finland, here's the link: afinnishtale.blogspot.com

Painting cultural Easter eggs with friends in Finland.

2. I have three younger sisters and a younger stepbrother.

Step brother is excluded from the photo. But these are all my sisters and I with my mom.

My sister, Alyssa (far right), graduating high school in June.

3. Has anybody heard of a "Tough Mudder?" They're almost too much fun.

 

4. I LOVE traveling. 

A reindeer sleigh ride in Lapland, Finland. I also swam in the Arctic Ocean.

Traveling in Prague with my boyfriend, Ian.

Climbing a peak in Glacier this past summer.

Checking out the Moulin Rouge with my mom.

5. Lastly, I work at the Bay. Everybody come in and say hi! 

6. Someday I would like my entire wardrobe to be Lululemon clothing. Seriously though, check it out. Amazing Lululemon Gear

7. I can speak a little French (and a very tiny bit of Finnish). :) Parlez-vous francaise, anybody?

8. Bodyrock.tv (and zuzkalight.com) completely changed the way I look at fitness. If anyone is ever looking for an exciting and short routine, please check out this website. They are amazing workouts. I haven't stepped foot in a gym for over six months. On a marketing side: for this site, sex sells.
