My Interests

My little man Gavin, scrapbooking, cooking/baking, snowboarding, camping, most things outdoors, and spending time with my friends and family.

Music:

I'll listen to almost anything...but I love old school music...80s and 90s!

Television:

I don't really watch too much tv...but I've been watching the NBA playoffs...go Phoenix!

Books:

Right now I'm reading 'Sex and Sensibility', 'Eat, Pray, Love' and 'The Key'. I read the Disney classic stories to Gavin at bed time.

Heroes:

Definitely my son Gavin. He has helped me through my toughest days so far and will always be there for me. He is my gift, my life and my love. Also my parents. I am a mixture of their best and worst characteristics and I wouldn't have it any other way.
