| View | Add FavoriteFIRST THING...I love friends! However, I won't accept you if you haven't sent me an email to at least introduce yourself first. Thanks! :o)My name is Brita (Breeeeetah). I am 29, single, mother of one AMAZING 4 year old son, full time dedicated employee, Notary Public, 100% Swedish, and an extremely positive and goofy person. I love meeting people, so I thought this would be fun. I live in Rosemount, MN, but grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis. I am a Christian, and have found myself on this amazing journey to live and learn more about my faith and our Lord Jesus Christ. I attend church weekly, love my life, and look forward to what I have yet to experience. Since I was basically raised by music, I love singing, playing my violin, and enjoy trying to play my guitar. I am always looking to find opportunities to sing....Karaoke, work choir, singing in the shower, etc. I recently put some serious thought into my dreams. If I could have one dream/goal, it would be to.... ...ready? .... Be a backup singer for an extremely talented group! Yeah, kind of cheesey I know. I LOVE to harmonize, and make up descants and background melodies to my favorite songs. I don't "sing along", I "add to" the songs. :o) Hey, Jason Mraz and Indigo Girls!? I have worked through almost every song you guys have written. Call me for the next tour. I rock. ;o) Hee hee!I guess I am on here to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and maybe get a date out of the deal! (Come on, I'm a single girl.....it's worth a try, right?)Let's see....what else.... My son is not only my number one priority and my favorite person to spend time with! :o) He brings me back to what is important in life, and reminds me to step out of my adult routine, and appreciate what I have...just by being him! I do spend a lot of time with him, because I love it. I love kids. LOVE 'EM! So, I take advantage of every moment I can have with my own. In my free time you could probably find me at my parents cabin on my days off in the summer, or less frequently in the winter. I LOVE fishing, hiking, photography, Lake Kayaking, and just being outdoors. God has given us an amazingly beautiful world. We need to enjoy it, protect it, and love it! In the cooler months, Karaoke, dive bars, movies, bowling, and just hanging out with friends occupy my time. I absolutely love trying new things, and new challenges. COME ON LIFE, BRING IT ON!
You've Changed 84% in 10 Years
You're practically a new person these days, and no one from your past may even be around to notice.
You've moved on, changed your life, and totally transformed your personality - probably all for the better! How Much Have You Changed in 10 Years?
You Are a Bright Star Soul
Like a shining star, you have no trouble being the center of attention
In fact, you often feel a bit hurt when all eyes aren't on you
You need to be number one in everything, no matter how trivial
And it's this ego that both hurts your confidence and helps you acheive
You're dramatic and a powerhouse of pure energy
You posess a divine quality or uniqueness that's hard to define
A natural performer, it's likely you'll become famous in some circles.
Just learn not to take everyone's reaction to you so personally!

New Friends, Old Friends, and Men. Yes, I am single, so I would love to find someone to share my life with. He would have to be a Christian, a positive person, someone who sees the glass as half full. :o) I enjoy meeting people of all types. One can never have too many friends. This world is full of people with amazing stories..and I wanna meet you all. :o) Plus, anyone that can show me an adventure would be a bonus. I am looking to be introduced to new experiences. OH!
