I believe that a strong relationship with my Father and my Savior is the single most important thing I can accomplish in this life, and that my human shortcomings make it the most difficult.
I believe that without struggle, there is no growth – without challenge, there is no improvement.
I believe that knowing HOW our past shaped us is just as important as knowing that we’ve changed over time.
I believe that FAITH will overcome nearly any obstacle, and paired with LOVE, it’s unstoppable.
I believe that loving thy neighbor is more easily achieved by those who love themselves too.
I believe that music has the power to change a mood, and sometimes even a life.
I believe that accepting someone for who they really are, with love and with an absence of judgment, is the best way to earn someone’s respect and friendship.
I believe that my difficulty in trusting others with myself is both my crutch and my saving grace, and knowing that it’s one of my failings has made it a strength.
I believe that education is vital, but it doesn’t have to be in a classroom, as long as you recognize the worth of what you’re being taught, it’s enough.
I believe that having a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at oneself will make your life longer and happier by far!
I believe if life gives you lemons, make lemonade…then find someone that life gave vodka to, and have a party! (Thank you Ron White!)

I have this theory that if I put myself in as many difficult (though not dangerous) situations as possible, I'll become a much stronger me. This theory is the result of many months of personal battles and growth, when I had to push myself just a little bit (or a whole lot!) farther than my comfort level would normally dictate. Not suprisingly, I've learned that I can handle a lot more than I ever thought I could. We tend to underestimate ourselves I think... We get lazy and comfortable and don't let ourselves believe that we can be more or better than what we already are.... Spiritually, emotionally, socially, mentally, physically. But no matter what the circumstance, I've found that once I'm at that breaking point, that point of "I can't do this, I'm gonna break"... If I just push past it, pray for strength, believe that I'll get through it and be better in the end... I do, and I am. This year (actually 2005 and the 1st half of 2006) has been one of incredible growth for me. That made me all the more excited to go back to my roots so to speak. I was excited to live in a familiar place with a whole new attitude. It's not something that I think a lot of people experience.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
Now that I'm here, I'm thankful that I'm still the me I've become, that I haven't reverted to old ways and mindsets. God's hand in my life and its direction is so amazing to me, and every day I feel blessed to be where and who I am. I truly believe that although not all of my path leading to today has been spiritually driven, it has helped me grow into the strong beliefs and ideals I hold so dear now. I truly would not be who I am, without having the experiences and struggles I've had, and I thank God for the lessons He's taught me through those experiences. It's a constant struggle (and I stumble constantly) to live for Him when there's so much of the world to draw me away, but it's amazing how much better life is when I'm making that effort. He truly is an awesome God....

My Interests

Welcome!

Hey there! Welcome, and thanks for taking a minute to check out my space ;).
So who am I? I’m a girl who loves reading, being outdoors, MUSIC, talking, and LAUGHING. I like going to movies, or watching them at home. I like my alone time, but I also love spending time with my friends, listening to their problems and offering what insight I'm able to. I have a deep desire to understand and then empower people, particularly those I call my friends.

Never allow someone to be your priority when to them you are only an option...

I love my family more than anything in the world, and that was part of my motivation for moving back to Oregon. I recently finished my Associates Degree in Washington. I’m currently torn between a few career paths… At this time, the only thing I’m absolutely set on is getting my Bachelor’s in Biology from OSU… I missed Oregon so much while I was gone, it still feels like home, and being back is therapy for me. I can't wait to make some new friends here and reconnect with my old ones!

Ha ha... this makes me smile... ;)

And just in case you were wondering if I'm unique....

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet anyone with a genuine respect for people from all walks of life.... People who know that listening is an integral part of the communication process. Humor is an absolute must, as my passion for laughing is probably only equalled by my passion for music . I love making new friends, but be warned that I'm NOT into the "friends with benefits" thing. I'm not a judgemental person, I love my friends for who they are , not who they could be, though I'm always happy to be a sounding board or give advice to someone who wants to grow... I'm an easy person to be friends with, but my standards for dating are much, much higher than my standards for friendship, as I believe everyone's should be. So if you are looking for a friend who's encouraging and positive, great! If you're looking for more than friendship, be prepared to have to work for it, and know that I have high standards regarding religious beliefs, morals, and communication!

Music:

I'm currently in love with several songs and artists, the list could go on and on.... But really I love all kinds of music... rock, hip hop, reggae, country, big band, Hawaiian, contemporary Christian... There are definitely a few genres that don't do much for me (Opera and polka for example!), but in general I enjoy a wide range of musical styles.

Movies:

Dumb & Dumber IS the greatest movie of all time!!! Benchwarmers, Napoleon Dynamite, 40-Year-Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, The Notebook, Meet the Fockers, Hitch, Miss Congeniality, the list just goes on and on and on.... I mostly like comedies, but I do enjoy the occasional love story, action, or suspense too. Gory horror flicks are not my thing though!

Television:

F*R*I*E*N*D*S!!! I also love The Office, King of Queens, CSI, The Closer, and now thanks to my good friend Stacie... Grey's Anatomy (like the rest of the world!) Thanks Stace.

Books:

The Bible.... I also like a lot of fiction and non-fiction... In general: True Crime, Suspense, Romance, Fantasy- all awesome! Some of my favorite authors are Nora Roberts (aka JD Robb), Ann Rule, Anne McCaffrey, and Dean Koontz ROCKS my reading world... I can't wait for the 3rd book in his Frankenstein trilogy!

I'm currently reading:

Heroes:

JESUS CHRIST- if only I could love the way He does.... My parents- they are by far the best role models I've met here on earth.... And my friends for teaching me something new all time, and being there to laugh with me whenever I need to!
