About Me

Sometimes shit gets rough... sometimes nothing makes sense...sometimes you just have to say fuck it!
I honestly just want to be happy. I don't care about money...and I don't get caught up in the bar scene. I'd rather be poor and happy, than rich and totally miserable. I know who I am, and I am happy with the person I have become. I have been through ups and downs, and I have always tried to do the right thing...sometimes I didn't...but I really have tried. Honest. :O) I just like real people...it seems like they are so hard to come by anymore...but I keep hope. I can't stand super negative people, that always complain and think that the world owes them something. I don't like when people blame their mistakes on what people have done to them in the past. There comes a point in your life when you need to take responsiblilty for you and decide what kind of person you are going to be. I'm not suggesting that this is easy, but we've all been hurt...learn from it, understand what you will and won't accept from other people...and carry on. :O)
Things I like: Nice people. Soooo tired of "cool" people! You can find good in everyone. Sometimes you have to search really hard to find it, but it is always there. I like little kids with good manners. I like people who say thank you, you're welcome, bless you, excuse me...etc. I love fireworks, except they always make me sad. I love snowboarding!!! Can't wait to get out there! I love Disney World! I also love to dance and sing and act like an idiot. I love to laugh until it hurts. LOVE my sisters! They are so important to me. We are so alike, but so different at the same time. LOVE my family! LOVE my friends! I have such a great group of friends! People that really accept me for what a nerd I really am! Last, but certainly not least...I LOVE my fiance Ryan. We got engaged in July and we are planning our wedding for next fall. Been together for over 4 years now! We've had our rough times, but we made it. :O) I can't imagine where I'd be without him. Sometimes you have to get lost...to be found.
I am a closet rockstar! I think that is what I was put on earth to do...but somehow I got stuck in the bar business! I love me & Ryan's ( i know...ryan & I) shower singing sessions! My neighbors really must hate us! I really think I should have a record deal by now! My bottle opener is my microphone! haha! :) Since I work in a bar, I can finally enjoy being home...I've been there and done it ALL. I still love going out...it's just not as often as before.
I should really stop drinking. Saran wrap outfits by Erin. And for some reason...this is totally acceptable. :O)
♥ In the end it won't matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away ♥ Love is giving someone the power to destroy you...but trusting them not to. ♥
Your aura shines Red!

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

A few people who care about other people. Kind, honest, real people! People who honestly think about other people...and wouldn't dream of hurting anyone they love. Or for that matter, wouldn't dream of hurting a perfect stranger.

Check these out...

Graceful Exit...

There's a trick to a graceful exit, I suspect. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over, and let it go. It means leaving what's over without denying i...
