I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, I am here...struggling in life along with everyone else. I am married to a soldier, Juan, which makes marriage even tougher than the average typical marriage. I love my husband and life wouldn't be such an adventure without him. We have a beautiful daughter whom I am very proud of. She plays the piano and soccer, not to mention she is very smart. For me, I was a Medic in the United States Army for just under 1o years and got out for a few reasons. I love the medical field, the adrenaline rush of it all, but I've also begun to burn out with the medical stuff. I love taking pictures...photography will always be one of my loves and so I decided to pursue that. I love to write and would love it if I can get a book of poems published. I am playing the violin now, learning the piano again and I have mastered the flute. I just may pick up the guitar while I am at it. My daughter plays the piano so one day we will duet in concert. Right now I am just striving to find where I belong in the civilian world again and get through school. At the moment, I am content in my life as long as I have my family, writing and music. But I could use a winning lottery ticket...school and life are not cheap!And one day...I plan to live here...

My Interests

I am interested in lots of things. I love playing my violin, flute, and learning more instruments. I love to write poetry and I love taking pictures. I love writing music and creating myself in music. I love wolves and exploring my animal spirits from the Native American Indain side of me... I love the serenity of the Islands. I love the beach and the peacefulness of it. I love to go out dancing and having a great time with friends and family. I like being home at night and showing the softer romantic side of me with my husband. I like to snowboard and rock out to music. I enjoy plays and dueling piano bars. I want to travel as much as possible...I look forward to returning to Amsterdam some day. I just want to live my life...to its fullest.

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn't mind meeting someone famous or inspiring musicians. In the meantime, I just want to keep in touch with my friends and family...especially the ones deployed right now...I don't mind making new friends as long as they know how to keep it real, respectful, and live life to its fullest.

Music:

I listen to just about all music there is...except most country. Though my husbands says I sound country when I sing. So basically I listen to the music that fits my mood at the time.

Movies:

Pirates Aarrhh me matee...I love Adventure movies and some of my Favorites are Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomb Raider and Lord of the Rings. But of course, I love the Disney movies because I can enjoy them with my daughter.

Television:

My Favorites are: NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Heros and shows similar to those.

Books:

I love reading Nora Roberts's books.

Heroes:

My family and friends...
