About Me

taking it day by day...

i'm tired, and i don't have time for your bullshit. thanks =)
i just got back from a 15 month lovely tour of iraq. what can i say, i love traveling and helping people. perfect combo! not!
training for a marathon, finishing advanced and rescue diving course, looking forward to getting certified in skydiving, finishing school REALLY SOON with the goal of becoming a P.A., taking a cooking class, learning more mma, and then some more shit you couldn't handle. and i am not a hard-ass, hard-core chick. i am a pansy romantic banshee that likes to watch the sunset from my own porch, attempt to cook lovely meals, and wonder...i wonder alot.
MAKE THE BEST OF EVERY DAY
STAY CLASSY

Im not afraid to tell you how it is.
people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget
how you made them
feel...

My Interests

positivity. enlightenment. motivation. good people.
if it ends in diving or boarding, or contains some type of adrenaline, i probably do it. anything crafty, building shit, making someones day and not asking for anything in return, discovering new things about the ones i love, fishing, crabbing, cooking, traveling, refurbishing, revamping, renovating, foreign languages, foreign dancing, hearing love stories from the elderly, humbling myself, gardening...i know what youre thinking you sick minds!, and all outdoorsy shit...although ive never been camping outside of the army...but that will all change very soon.
kicking more ass in all ways possible =)
more water
more painting
stay positive
make more clothes
be next top north shore chef...haha
shoot more
LIVE...

I'd like to meet:

Bob Marley, Martha Stewart, Sigmung Freud, Galileo Galilei, Mr. Rogers, Bob Barker, My future kids, Frank the Tank, and my Mr. Someday.
Whoever you are, just don't be afraid. Watch your tongue, but speak your mind. After heartbreaks galore, and makinge mistakes...I know what I want. And I am not looking. I've learned not to waste my time by my own mistakes, and to always follow your heart...not to dwell on the negativity. Fuck the rest of the world. Make sure you are happy. I would love to have a family someday...as soon as that missing puzzle piece fits right next to mine.
