I'm a new mom and a freelance web and graphic designer. I love hiking with my baby and the dogs, camping, being out in nature.I love snowboarding, wakeboarding, riding bikes, long hard hikes uphill that kick your butt, but are worth it for the view, and challenging myself to try new stuff.I'm having such a great time watching my little guy experience life for the first time. Everything is new and it's so amazing to see him grow and develop. He is so much fun!!! And he's a happy little guy too. I now understand about unconditional love.

My Interests

Taking care of my beautiful baby boy, working in the yard, my garden (lettuce, bok choy and green onions at the moment), flowers, photography, modern art, making little clay figures. Most importantly, all I can think about right now is my baby. He is such a blessing!

I'd love to have a day with Tori Amos. She seems like she'd be down for a good conversation. I've met her once, but I just got an autograph and a picture. Would like to have a full day w/ her. I'd also like to meet Ewan McGregor.
