I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey I'm Amy, and I love to have fun, whether it's a night out listening to a local band, a night at home on the couch with my husband, and pets, or a night with friends. I have 2 dogs, Jasmine, she's a german shepard mix, Monty, who is also a german shepard mix (although much bigger than Jazz) and a cat, Charlie, who's insane (in a good way!). I married the love of my life in 2003! We've been together now for almost 8 years, and I couldn't be happier! I am the biggest reality TV junkie you will ever meet. I love MTV's The Real World, and Road Rules, The Bachelorette, Survivior, American Idol, Nashville Star, The Apprentice, ANTM (for those of you that don't know that's America's Next Top Model!), The Bachelor... the list could go on forever. I'm a big fan of movies, and music! I love spring through Fall, and don't care for Winter too much. So why Minnesota, you ask? Because my life is here. I grew up here and all my family and friends are here, so I can handle 30 below for 6 months out of the year! =O) I'm always open to meeting new people, afterall, you can never have too many friends!! Hope this gives you a little insight into the person that is Amy Benson!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people who are fun and interesting, and are looking for fun interesting people to talk to as well. I don't waste my time with people who are fake, or try to be someone they're not. I like people who are true to themselves and are not afraid to show who they really are!
