 Introduction

    So let me introduce myself.

My name is Nicole Laurie. I was born on September 9, I live in Buffalo, NY and I'm 28 years old.

Usually when I get told to talk about myself I tend to shy away from facts about myself and turn it into my family. So on this blog I am going to try really hard to keep it about me. But lets get my family part out of the way.

I grew up in a household of 7, two real brothers, four step brothers, then myself. My mom started seeing my step dad when I was two and a half years old, so for all intents and purposes, he is my dad. I don't remember my biological father, sperm donor is what I refer him to, and I'm glad I don't. My dad is everything to me. He raised me into the person I am today. When I turned eighteen, I asked if I could change my last name to his. We got a lawyer and he said for a couple hundred dollars more, we can do an adoption. That's exactly what we did! It finalized the day after my actual birthday and for nine years I've been grateful enough to have my dad's last name and his name on my birth certificate. 

But yes, I grew up with only brothers, I'm the baby and only girl. No I am not spoiled. At least I don't think so anyway. I'm incredibly grateful for the family that I have. We were raised all the same, and I think that's a great thing. Just because  I was a girl, didn't stop them from teaching me sports, or my dad teaching me how to fix things up around the house.

Here are some facts about me that make me who I am.

I love reading and writing. I adore cows, they are my favorite animals. Right next to dogs. I snack like my life depended on it. Especially pretzels and chocolate. I love the summertime, walking around barefoot. I get incredibly hormonal on my time of the month, which includes getting angry and crying at just about anything. 

But as a person, I know that I am kind, selfless, caring and a hard worker.

I am a supervisor at my job that I have been at for three years now, and I am very proud to be doing what I do every day. I work at a satellite office for Roswell Park in Williamsville for the Hematology and Oncology office. I feel like I am doing my part by helping those who are at their worst in their life, but it helps remind me that I could always have it worse and that my problems aren't as big as I think they are.

I think I was able to cover the basics of who I am, and the more that I write, the more you'll get to know me, I'm sure.

This is me,
