I love swimming, horseback riding competitively. Enjoy making new friends, fashion, family.

I was a swimmer for my high school for three years, I absolutely loved every piece about it. Even was able to make it to district for my 100 butterfly, and state for a 50 freestyle relay. I did many years of horse back riding lessons in english style before I started working at the farm. Was able to do one show, but sadly got disqualified for forgetting me routine. I am huge on spending as much time as I can with my family. They are my number one priority. I am addicted to fashion, I love to learn about it, and keep up to date with style trends. As well as its a fun hobby. My small group of friends are very important to me, I don't have many but the mean the world to me.
