I am here for Friends

About Me

I am living in Utah with my wonderful husband, Trevor. We have been married for eight years. A year after we married, we decided to leave Illinois and make the 1500 mile trek to go to school here. It took us a little while to get back to school (so blasted expensive!) but we finally did and are in our final year. Trevor is a computer science major with a minor in math and my major is Linguistics and minor in German.
Trevor is currently working for IBM as a software developer for the BladeCenter Management Module Firmware. I am just trying to survive school and take care of the household. We bought a house in 2001 and have been trying to fix it up to sell next year when we graduate. It's a cute little 134 year old pioneer house in a small rural town.
We don't have any children yet, but plan on having some after we are finished with school. I can hardly wait! I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

What do you want to be when you grow up?

For many years I've been asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. If you asked me that question when I was 4, I would have told you a garbage collector. I thought it was so cool that they got to ju...

The Other Side of the Sky

This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It is so good that I read it in one afternoon; I couldn't put it down. It's an autobiography of an Afghan girl named Farrah and her struggles ...

Hippopotamus is a fun word to say

Greyhound, Chicago, and Food
