About Me

Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

Originally from Iowa I'm a pretty average midwest kind of girl. I joined the US Navy in June of 2001 and shipped out for bootcamp just days after the 9-11 attacks. I was stationed in England for the majority of my enlistment and I met my husband, Ben, while I was there. We got married in Las Vegas and had a big family wedding in his hometown just outside of St. Louis, MO. I'm out of the Navy now and living in Japan where Ben is currently stationed.

My Interests

I like to knit, throw pottery, sing, play piano, and I coach cheerleading.

Music:

I listen to just about every genre of music, except rap. Although on a daily basis I tend to listen to the more mellow styles. Lately I've been getting into the folk inspired styles. My favorite artists are: Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Diana Krall, Jack Johnson, Ludovico Einaudi, Enya, and KT Tunstall.

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams. I still ball my eyes out everytime I watch that movie. Some of my other favorites are The Labyrinth, Princess Bride, Wedding Singer, Matrix, My Fair Lady, Les Miserables (musical and film versions), Phantom of the Opera, Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth, the list goes on and on. As you can see I'm into fantasy, sci-fi, musicals, and period pieces. I don't really care for action flicks (unless it falls into one of the above categories) or horror movies.

Television:

Living overseas kind of limits my TV choices to what AFN shows and what shows I can download on itunes. Currently I'm into The Medium, Scrubs, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, and just about anything on Discovery or TLC.

Books:

I'm currently reading the Icewinddale Trilogy, For One More Day, Wicked, and The Wishsong of Shanara. Some of my favorite books include The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, the Harry Potter series, the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, the Wheel of Time series (although the last few installments were really disappointing), and of course the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Climate control

Now adays it's pretty common for a car to have dual climate control. Obviously this was brought on by the age old battle between men and women for control of the thermostat. Well I want more! I want d...

I wish you love

I recently watched the movie Prime (the one with about the girl who dates her therapist's son) and it struck a cord. If you haven't watched the movie and plan on doing so you might want to stop readin...
