It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

About Me


1 John 4:7-19 Is my basis for life.
I am an extremely passionate person. Everything I like or don't like I usually have a very good reason for and I don't usually ever budge. I am openminded and try not to pass judgments on people until I know them heart to heart. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Which usually means I get taken advantage of. I could be hard-hearted but I choose not to be and because of that I have met some of the most amazing people that are now very important to me. I have morals, values and faith. I love on everyone and have no such thing as too many friends. I believe I have a purpose here and that everyday is given to us as a blessing. Nothing happens without a reason. Good or bad. It's all in God's plan. He has promised us a future with hope and prosperity.
I work at an adult assisted living facility. I love my job! New and exciting (stressful) experiences everyday. It's all worth it though. If you aren't close to your grandparents, get close! They have so much knowledge, experience and insight to share with you. If they can't share it with you, they'll share it with me. I love wakeboarding, I go whenever feasible and weather permitting. However we are all crazy so you might spot us as the only wakeboarding boat on the lake in January.
I love all kinds of music, movies, and entertainment. I'm interested in all kinds of different alcohol. You might call me a lush but I very rarely try drinks to get drunk..although it will happen unexpectedly. I like to hang out with friends either in a small group at home watching a James Bond marathon or in a big group at the club getting our groove on.
I am a Christian, I love the Lord with all aspects of my life. I am not the perfect person, but I believe that if we were perfect people Christ would not have had to come and save us. If you want to see an outline of the mission statement from my church and get a better idea of exactly WHAT I believe and why (with scripture references) you can go to this web address http://www.kingsgrace.com/beliefs.htm and read.
Jesus is my joy, my love, my best friend and my Redeemer. Without his guidance and graceful touch in my life, I don't know where I would be.
I give thanks everyday for my family. They mean the world to me. We are very close although if you're around us we may seem to constantly be at eachother's throats but deep down we love eachother very much. I have 2 bothers and 2 sisters, 2 brother-in-laws, 2 nephews and 1 neice. My parents are still together, 37 years now. They are my inspiration and example. My dad is my hero and my mom is the adventurous joy that fills my heart.
I am also a five year ex-piano student. I miss it so much. I've been teaching myself lately and my newest project is Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin (he is my favorite composer). Clementi is a composer who get's my kudos. Some of my other favorites would include Bach for his improvisation and freedome left in his pieces, Jim Brickman, Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky.
I was born in Gold Beach, Oregon. At the time my family was living in Brookings. It's beautiful down there nearly all year long! Moved to Junction City when I was 5 weeks old and been here ever since. Attended JCHS and afterward LBCC in Albany. I have a fish named Alfie, he's a betta and he effing rocks my socks.
PS. "Yummy" is the best word ever. Just say it.."yummy".

My Interests

Love to learn about all kinds of things. Especially enjoy wakeboarding, shooting, sunbathing and playing outdoors. Hiking, camping and fishing are awesome! Playing piano, reading and studying. (No really.) Facinated with history and anthropology. Medicine and anatomy. If I could be a master of all subjects I would! I'm addicted to flip-flops and hair stuff. Prancing around in the rain and jumping in mud puddles! If I could live in the ocean I would. Marine life is so interesting and I love the beach. Love the smell of fresh cut grass, making baked foods, planting flowers and watching funny movies. I have a wide variety of music genres I like and am open to listening to anything. Like talking about Jesus, politics (even if I don't understand the whole issue) and family.

I'd like to meet:
