About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Hi there!! My name Is Alissa Blow, and I am 22. I was born April 1st, 1984 in Mt. Pleasant Iowa. My parents divorced when I was four, and I have been raised mostly by my wonderful grandparents (Meme & Papa). I love to travel, eat, cook, dance, act, experience new things, and be spontaneous. One of my favorite places to be is at church with my spiritual family. My faith is a huge part of my life. I was saved a year ago, November, and I have never experienced such miracles!! My life has done a complete 360 from just 12 months ago, and I'd never want to turn back!! I attend Faith Christian Outreach Church (non denominational) in Mt.Pleasant Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings, and attend a Bible study on Sunday evenings. I have 5 siblings, all younger. Mason is 17, soon to be 18, Dekota 14, Sierra 12, Levi 9, and Gaige (the apple of my eye) will be 6 in Feb. I currently am unemployed and looking for a job (if you'd like to hire me, please send your application to me!!! :D ) I also am taking this time in my life to explore the United States. I enjoy meeting and making new friends ... It has expanded my horizon to both sides of the United States, thus far, having met over 5 people that I came to know ... My very best friends in life range anywhere from 5 years of age, all the way to 62. I don't classify myself as socially, mentally, or emotionally....22 years of age. I believe relationships start in the soul.........where there is no such thing as age. Greatest accomplishment in life: I used to weigh 225 lbs. and over the course of 6 years have managed to loose 100. From size 22 to a 6. MOST DIFFICULT thing i've ever done.... I aspire to do many things in life. Invent a scrumptiously delicious ice cream that the calories disolve in your mouth before they reach your _._._. . Start my own line of jewelry. Persue acting of some sort. I have done musicals in community theater, and I would like to continue that in some form. Do street evangalism in the streets of poverty ridden cities and communities. I would like to start a choreographed dance group for my church, as an outreach to young kids who are in need of role models. I would like to adopt or be a foster parent. I want to take painting classes, learn to speak French, teach myself to play the piano, extend my skills in photography. Spend at least three hours a week in the kitchen inventing my own recipes.

My Interests

The mind. The Bible. Love.

I'd like to meet:

All the people in the world, that could ever make me laugh! There's never too much joy, and happiness to go around.

Music:

Im crazy about the group Acapella. Such soul and depth, and BEAUtiful harmony.....it amazes me at such a gift to sing like an instrument!! Natalie Grant, & Celine Dion..........(who I PRETEND.......that i sound just like, when her and I are singing in the car together! :D Josh Groban.........Beautiful Man! and My music teacher from high school..........who has the most beautiful voice i've ever heard

Movies:

hhhhhmmmm..... Somethings Gotta Give, Return to Me, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Naughty Marietta (an OLD movie, with Janet McDonald, and Nelson Eddie that I used to watch with my Meme) oh, and surely The First Wives Club

Television:

hard to say because I've been without TV for the last few years. Not really an intrest of mine.....I think it consumes far too much of peoples time, and energy. It prevents people from LIVING life, instead they spend time watching life.

Books:

The Dictionary, and The Bible

Heroes:

My Meme. She left home when she was 13, to be with my Papa, because she was pregnant. They got married when she was 14, and by the time she was 16, she had two babies and three jobs. She graduated the 8th grade, and since then has worked for everything she has.......and taught me so much about life, and value and acceptance, and unconditional love.
