About Me

I'm a sister, a friend, a daughter, a cousin, a niece, a neighbor, an animal lover, and a 5th grade teacher (AND NOW AN AUNTIE!!) What you see is what you get--no games, no lies, no hidden messages. I believe that humor is life's cushion and that the people we love are what makes life worth living. I believe in God, in family, in being real, in freedom for all, in owning up to your mistakes, and in self-expression. I love art in all its mediums and have great respect for people who strive to make this world look better, sound better, and be better.
I try to be thankful all the time, because we have so much. I love my job because I know I'm constantly making a difference. I also have the nicest co-workers with whom I have ever worked. I love the fact that my family is very close and that we make an effort to be together on a regular basis. I have the coolest cousins! I have excellent friends who share my interests and constantly introduce me to new ones. I love my long-distance friends that I met at BYU--either former roommates or former singing group buddies. They are all so awesome!
Some of my favorite things are spending time with my family and friends, walking my dog, learning more about the world of computers (putting this page together has been quite a learning experience,) reading, discovering great music, playing the piano, going to museums, going to Disneyland, traveling, and finding new ways to decorate. THANKS FOR READING THIS AND WELCOME!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are down to earth, nice, real, honest, educated, have similar and interesting hobbies, and great senses of humor. I enjoy talking and meeting people who have something to say about a variety of subjects.

Here are some of my flower photos. I'm very much an amateur, but it's fun!
