About Me

"I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made to figure things out, not read the same page recurrently."-Donald MillerI'm a work in progress...always learning, always growing, always laughing too! God is good...

My Interests

I have a lot of interests, like horses, traveling, swimming (lakes, rivers, the ocean, pools, bathtubs), tennis, yoga, snowboarding, speaking spanish, studying languages, reading, dancing, music, movies. I like meaningful conversations and relationships. I love Jesus and am striving to serve God with my life. I am NOT interested in cubicles. I like teaching ESL...I like that I learn from my students.

I'd like to meet:

People with good intentions. And Chris Martin. this layout is from whateverlife.com!

Music:

I love music...especially when it's me singing. I know everyone else LOVES that too (ha!)

Movies:

Favorites: Love Actually High Fidelity Sleepless in Seattle Garden State Good will Hunting Gladiator Chocolat Los Diarios Motocicletas Lost in Translation Old School Pretty Woman Newsies Top Gun Man From Snowy River I know there are more...

Television:

I like TV...we don't have it though...

Books:

I wish I could write an impressive list of books that I love or that changed my life, but the truth is I rarely finish a book. I start many books...they challenge me, impact me, make me think or laugh or cry...but I have a hard time finishing them. I'm ok with it. It's how my life is these days. Right now I'm working on not finishing "Good News About Injustice".

Heroes:

My family is very important to me, and I have many heroes among them. My grandma and brother especially...I really admire my brother. The owners and staff at CPYR are also all heroes to me. I have learned so much from each of them.
