He's all sorts of trouble...

About Me

I am a 27 year old wife, Spanish teacher and track coach. Right now I am teaching German, even though I don't speak German. My husband is in the Air Force and I am so proud of him!! He works with telephones. We live in Colorado and I absolutely love it here! If we have to move, I hope it's somewhere really cool! And to borrow the words of my very good friend Jacqui: **IF YOU ARE BI, LESBIAN, OR A HETERO-MALE LOOKING FOR SEX, DO NOT BOTHER CONTACTING ME. I AM NOT INTERESTED, MOVE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. GEEZ**

Movies:

My husband and I have over 100 DVD's in our collection. I know that's not like HUGE or anything, but it does fill up the space we have for DVD's. We really enjoy going to see movies in the theatre. It's definitely one of my favorite past times. As a Spanish teacher, I enjoy certain foreign films. I love silly comedy ( Will Ferrel, Steve Carrel, Vince Vaughan, etc). I enjoy suspense, but not SCARY. (M. Night Shymalyn (sp?)I hate movies that deal with wierd, scary spiritual stuff. I can't even watch the commercials. If it "could" possibly happen or if it is a true story and it's scary, I want nothing to do with it. I also like "British" romance/comedy movies ( Bridget Jones', Love Actually, etc). I also love Finding Nemo! :-)
