About Me

music layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentsI have lived in KY my whole life. Last year I moved from Smiths Grove about 20 minutes up the road into Bowling Green. Still not a huge city, but the move has made such a big difference for me. I love being close to my friends, my job, my church . . . all things I love.I have great family and friends. I enjoy socializing and meeting new people. I love living near my friends, where I can hang out with them or test out my new recipes on them. I am very happy with my job of teaching piano to children and also some adults. I feel thankful almost everyday that I can work doing something I love and hopefully will make a difference to them. I also work part-time as a senior caregiver and receive a lot of fulfillment from that as well.Music is my passion. I love it all. Playing keyboards, guitar, bass, singing, experimenting with drums, writing songs. . . I play keyboards and sing harmony at Broadway United Methodist Church services and the Celebrate Recovery program. I've just recently been getting to that point where I can let myself get so lost in the music that it becomes bigger than stage fright or the opinion of any audience. If I have a week too busy to sit down and play some songs, I start to feel really out of balance! I love playing for church but am also starting to feel a push to perform more and hope it makes a difference wherever I get the opportunity to play.My other love is nature. I love warm weather and being outside. Sometimes it's great to just be still and take in everything around me, like on summer nights when I read on my front porch before going to bed. But I'm also extremely active and love anything that feels like an adventure to me: Long, challening hikes are one of my favorite things to do. I love to feel my musles working and breathe in the smell of the woods and the way it makes me feel alive! I love the mountains, the beach, swimming, tubing, backpacking, canoeing. I actively go to the gym and exercise really makes a difference in how I feel. I'm so ready to travel and see new places!I want to do worthwhile things in life, help people, and have fun along the way! I love to laugh, be silly, hear and try to repeat stupid jokes, especially with my friends. I think God has created too many beautiful things for us not to take notice and enjoy them.

My Interests

One of the favorite things about myself is my willingness to enjoy the different varieties of life. I like just spending time with my friends, but am also eager to go to big cities, concerts, ballgames, and anything musical or outside. I love writing and want to find more opportunities to venture into it. I like going to new places and new adventures . . . even if it turns out to be something I'm not crazy about, it's all part of experiencing what life has to offer!

I'd like to meet:

I love to see people accomplish their dreams, despite the challenges, and I admire confident women like Ashley Judd, Robin McGraw, Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, Heather Whitestone . . . I think one of the greatest things is women learning to be happy with ourselves no matter what messages we receive about how to look or live our lives.

Music:

I like lots of different kind, new, old, etc. I love going to concerts, analyzing songs and then trying to play them. I love finding all the harmony parts and trying to write songs. My question is . . . what is your next step after you have finished writing a song?

Movies:

comedies, like "Wedding Crashers," "Bruce Almighty," "Meet the Parents," "Dumb and Dumber," "Waterboy." Every now and then I like to get myself scared with a scary movie when I'm with a bunch of people. Anything Matthew McConahey. I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" every Christmas. I want to start watching some more of the old classics I've never seen. But the movie has to grab me in the first 10 minutes, or I can't sit through it. I'm not crazy about love stories, although deep down inside, I think I really do believe in love.

Television:

"The Andy Griffith Show," "What Not to Wear." If I watch TV, it usually has to be while I'm doing something else, like folding laundry or playing guitar, because I would rather be active than watch TV.

Books:

Anything inspirational that encourages me about life. If I read fiction, I like historical fiction, like Janette Oke. I've always been fascinated by the Laura Ingalls Wilder series and anything set in another era. Plus I like autobiographies and biographies. Right now I am reading "How to Escape the No-Win Trap." Everyone should read it. I don't think we realize how much we contribute to the dilemmas we wind up in!

Heroes:

Anne Frank, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Corrie Ten Boom, Helen Keller, anyone who has overcome some big obstacle in life.
