Live & Love

About Me

I like to have fun. Life is too short to not have fun. I like to meet genuine people. No time for fakes or players. I'm MARRIED to the best man in the universe. I have 4 great kids, 1 super great stepson and a brand new baby on the way. Boy was that the surprise of the century! Once the shock wore off, happiness ensued. They are the center of my universe. I enjoy being outside.... especially in the spring and summer. I love to laugh. I love to make people laugh. I've successfully battled lymphoma and kicked it's ASS! So don't mess with me :) I love mountains and oceans and want to live where there is one or the other someday soon. Both would be ideal. You only live once. Make sure you make it count!

My Interests

I have so many.... I love going to movies, snuggling on the couch, taking long walks, watching storms roll in. You HAVE to be able to make me laugh. My favorite moments are when "we" are in conversation and it turns silly and both of us start laughing uncontrollably. I love hearing laughter. I love laughing. I love the sound of men laughing...especially MY man, because honestly, I don't think men laugh enough.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

I'd like to meet:

I really like to meet interesting & fun people. I'm always up for a new friend. I'd love to meet Brenda Donato someday. That'll have to wait until we meet again in heaven. Sadly, Brenda lost her battle w/ leukemia recently. I'd love to meet anybody on my friend list that I haven't met IRL yet. I'd also like to meet Dane Cook. Ok, we can now add Johnny Depp to that list :)

Music:

I appreciate music in all forms. I like Top 40, sappy love songs & boy bands. I can tolerate country in very, very small doses. I love all CCM and Praise & Worship stuff. I mostly listen to Top 40 & Contemporary Christian music. I love Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, DC Talk, Nicole Nordeman, Third Day, Newsboys, etc. You get the idea. My car radio is set on KLOVE. I LOVE Chris Daughtry too!

Movies:

I like all movie genres. Nothing is better than a good movie! I love comedies. Wedding Crashers and 40 Year Old Virgin come to mind. I love Will Ferrell. I also love Steve Carell. I also love Dane Cook. Basically, if you are a comedian and you can make me laugh.. I will love you forever.

Television:

I am addicted to Heroes & Grey's Anatomy! I also enjoy The Office, Survivor, The Amazing Race, and American Idol.

Books:

I'm anxiously awaiting the final Harry Potter book. I've torn through all the "Shopaholic" books. I'm currently reading Wicked (thanks Amanda).

Heroes:

I think hero is a broad term. A hero in my book is someone who has faced adversity and come out better on the other side. That would include anyone who has went through cancer and survived it. Brenda (on my friend list) is my hero. I also think people who put their life on the line for the common good of mankind are heroes. That would include all American Soldiers, Policemen, Firefighters, and EMT's. Their job is to make sure nothing bad happens to us, and if it does, they are there to take care of us and help us. If everyone lived their life trying to be a hero for someone else (not for the glamour, but to actually try and make someone else's life better just for the sake of making it better), this world would be in far better condition than it is right now. Go be someone's hero. www.lls.org

New Song

Ok, so the song isn't new but it's new to my profile. I heard it during a movie today & it made me cry (either because it's so pretty or I'm hormonal)... but either way it's a great song. Of cours...
