About Me

On March 29th, 2007 at 10:43pm I gave birth to Robert Riley Porter, my son. Bobby and I couldn't be happier. Its amazing how much you can love someone. My life has changed dramaticly for the better, and im excited for the future. I guess I'm easy-going, pretty easy to get along with and won't judge off of first impressions usually. I like to get to know people before I decide what I think of them. I like most everyone unless they specificly give me reasons not to. **If you think sunshine is happiness, you've never danced in the rain!!!**I don't quite know what else to say. If you want to chat just message me.

My Interests

My son is the joy of my life. I get up in the morning and see his smiling face, and I feel like I can do anything. My boyfriend is the love of my life. We have been through some rocky times, but here we still are, beating the odds. I love to socialize but partying seems to be the JEWno way to do it....but I don't drink. Lifes too short to waste on drinking. Being around people is what makes me happy, i'm a people-person and it's fun to meet new people. I like to try new things, and relax with friends. Im very much a perfectionist when I have the energy...Its energy wasted and a little compulsive but im working on that one (cleaning does not mean scrubbing every cabinet and dusting the celling) Even though we don't quite have a real beach, going to the beach is fun in the summertime; not so good for swimming unless its a warmer day. In the summer I also like to hike, and go camping. Camping is awesome here in Juneau, but i'm awiting until Riley is a little older before I attempt to go again. I love traveling and studying people. I used to want to be a psychologist and study human nature, (which still sounds very appealing to me) but it doesnt sound as fulfilling anymore. I also wanted to be a missionary, but maybe later in life. I went on a mission trip to Haiti in 2002 and 2003 and I loved it. I felt the happiest i've ever felt down there helping people and telling them about God. God used to be the center of my life, but as most people know....well..i'm working on putting Him back into my life. I'm just a person trying to get back on track and live a life worth living. :)

I'd like to meet:

You sunshine!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Weight of the World" Feels like the weight of the world, like God in heaven gave me a turn, don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you. still in the dark, can you fix me?freefall, freefall, all through life.If you love me, then let go of me. I wont be held down by who I used to be, she's nothing to me.Feels like the weight of the world, like all my screaming has gone unheard, and ohm I know you don't believe in me. safe in the dark, how can you see?freefall, freefall, all through life.If you love me, then let go of me. I wont be held down by who I used to be ~*~*~*~*~
