Bio-Blog #16 - Tannys

This week I present my dear friend Tannys. Tannys became my saving-grace friend while I did my undergrad degree in Sudbury. She started as my T.A. but there was just something about her that made things click and throughout my 3 years at LU she became a great friend (I put her on the "fast track" because she is so awesome!). The thing about Tannys is that she appears very unassuming but she is so inspirational. She has an incredible spirit and ability to support people. She is involved in more activities then I could ever imagine (so many of them volunteer) and is a mom, partner, friend and family-member as well. I really don't know how she does it. On top of all that, even when things are not glowingly fantastic with her she will listen to me bitch about my own troubles. I love her for that. For that, and those "special" nights when she actually decides to join me for a drink.

I will ... hopefully get married this summer without drowning my mother, Bob, or myself (in that order)
