Music can be like perfume. It's almost a scent, you know, where the right smell changes an environme

About Me

technically, i'm not from anywhere ... though i claim north carolina because that's where i've lived the longest. i was forced to be a nomad growing up ... actually, i was quite willing. my dad was in the navy, so we moved every 1 to 2 years. italy is my favorite place that we lived. i think it has something to do with the espresso, cappucinos, panini, riding a ferry to school and back, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, etc. plus, we were fed every sunday afternoon by our land lady. yummy pasta! :) life growing up was fun. sure, there were emotional times, especially in a house full of 3 teenage girls all going through puberty within years of each other, but those times leave fond memories, too. ha! :) i'm a recovering journalist who stepped into the publishing world last year, and after 28 years of life, i think i'm finally settling into liking being an adult. i have an incredible life, an incredible family and incredible friends.be sure to check out www.wavechurch.com, and join me on a sunday morning, sunday evening or wednesday night for the best praise and worship, preaching and people fired up for God!

My Interests

i'm up for anything as long as it's legal and i'm not morally opposed to it. i like road trips when i have money and good company. i like hanging out with/talking to friends, playing with my doggies, going to concerts when i have time and watching movies. of course, reading and doing crossword puzzles are always a must. hopefully, i'll get more gusto in the near future and do more traveling! england and italy are high up on my agenda to visit again.:) london WILL be my first stop ... and my first priority would be to visit my peeps living there. then i'd check out hillsong london!
