Not Your Ordinary Girl :-)

About Me

I'm just a girl trying to find her place in this big ole world we live in. Either I'm an idiot or a genius...I haven't figured it out yet, but I won't let that stop me. I've always been a super serious person, but I'm working on changing that. ;-)
My love for bluegrass and traditional country music far exceeds the average person. I love hitting the road and entering new territory and encountering new experiences. Bluegrass has allowed me to do so much of that!
As much as I'd love to work in bluegrass music, I've come to the realization that I would rather separate work from the things I love. It's how I am able to escape at times. I'm working my butt off right now to get into pharmacy school for the Fall of 2009. I'm ready to have vacation days and paid holidays finally. haha Kidding! In all seriousness, I love helping people, and medicine has always been very interesting to me. I look forward to being able to help people out with their health issues.

Here's a rare video of Sara and Maybelle Carter performing Cannonball Blues....pure magic!! :-)

My Interests

Music. It feeds my soul and has become a vital component of my very being. I mostly listen to country and bluegrass music, but I will listen to just about anything as long as it is legitimate music. I enjoy putting on my headphones and shutting out all the worries and anxieties in my life.

I have played hockey for the past 12 years of my life and it still feels new and exciting every time I hit the ice.

I love the outdoors and enjoy the many things nature has to offer us. I've loved fishing since my grandpa threw me in his boat at age 2. It's such a great way to connect with nature by being out there surrounded by the beautiful world God gave us.

Bluegrass music is a huge part of my life. I love going to festivals and jamming with incredible people.

I love being out in the country more than anything and hope to live on a farm one day with a bunch of crazy kids running around the yard.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Einstein, Marie Curie, Leonardo DaVinci, Alexander Fleming, Charles Darwin, Rosalind Franklin, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells, Dominic Hasek, Manon Rheaume, Cammi Granato, and Wayne Gretzky.
