Let me introduce myself...

After pondering for a few days about where to start with my blog, I decided it would only be suitable to do a thorough introduction of myself...I just don't feel that the "about me" section serves the whole purpose.

Sooo here it goes...My full name is Suzanne Donelle Jenkins, most people call me Suz. I was born on September 10, 1987 here in the sunny & hot, Fresno, California.

Prima Ballerina right here...

Back in day, when I was just a young tike

I have the perfect family of 4. My dad, my mom, my brother, and I. My parents just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this past May (which seems absolutely crazy to me as a 21 year old that 2 people can actually stand each other that long!). I really couldn't ask for better parents. They are supportive of me in whatever I set out to do and love me unconditionally. My dad is the best, he has this dry and sarcastic sense of humor that I think is great. I know that all girls think their dad knows everything....but my dad REALLY DOES. It's crazy. I don't think I've ever asked him a question that he hasn't known the answer to AND had a story to go along with it. My mom is THAT mom that all kids wish they had. If i had to describe her in one phrase it'd be 'life of the party'. She was the ultimate "involved" parent when my brother and I were growing up...PTA President/room mom/soccer mom/dance mom...and completely obsessed with her kids. To this day the part about her being obsessed with her kids, is still true, which works out well for me being her daughter and all. My mom would do anything for me and our family. That's why I love her :)

Meet my best friend/brother, Brian.
(If this picture doesn't totally describe the difference between us to this day I don't know what does...typical: my bro lookin' all prim and proper and me just kickin' it in my comfys with crazy hair...funny how some things never change!)

Brian is 3 years older than me...and turned out to be the genius of the family. He is starting his second year at Pepperdine University's business school and will have his MBA in a year. I am sure of it that someday he will be ruling the world of business. The best advice I've received throughout my life has been from him...in the sauna at our gym.

I will be starting my 4th year at Fresno State in August...I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel! College has been an eye opening learning experience for me...mixed with some alcohol, of course. I have learned to enjoy school and all it has to offer. This year will be my 2nd year being involved with PCA (Professional Communication Association) at Fresno State. This past spring I was elected to be a co-president of the club (whoop whoop!) I'm very excited about PCA this year and getting more involved with our school and community. My plan is to attend graduate school and get my masters after I finish up at Fresno State.

Aside from my family, my friends are the most important thing in my life. I feel very lucky to have the people I do in my life and wouldn't trade them for anything.

My best friend and roommate, Megan, is like the sister I never had.

I have the greatest group of girlfriends in the entire world...there is NEVER a dull moment when we all get together.

The Schmidt's, who I started babysitting for over a year ago, have become my second family and now they just can't get enough of me...or maybe they just can't get rid of me...I'm not quite sure :)

Outside of family, friends, and school the things I enjoy the most are the lake, snowboarding, Disneyland, sharks & all marine life, shopping, wine, dancing, Tim Burton films....this list could go on forever but I'll stop here for now.

This is just a sneak peak into my life, I'm sure you'll learn more along the way. Until next time...
